the much talked about Aphrodite kitten here in her basket on the grooming table in Portland, she was always third but the most talked about exotic shorthair at the show. her sister Queenie won Best Kitten under the wonderful judge Elaine Weitz! and many other final placements... more to come about on safari in Portland...
for the record: my new favorite judges for the list are Steven Savant a fellow Southerner who presented Queenie second best kitten with this speechless awe and finally said, "Yes! She's all that! what more can I say!"
Well,I'm from the South too so I love this Louisianian man, it feels like home sitting beside his ring!
And Pascal Remy - the educational, informative: he gave me advice on my breeding program, and he's witty, funny, handsome and well dressed too! Thanks to Pascal for giving Queenie a fourth best and ninth best kitten in the finals! Also thanks to Laura Cunningham who placed her fifth but there was a steward mistake and so I didn't find out until the next morning on the way down the hall in the hotel from the steward! Thanks Laura you are so gentle with the kittens! Many Thanks to Alice Rhea for being so sweet with the kittens and loving every one she handled - she placed Queenie sixth best, and thanks to Ellen Crockett who placed her eighth best!
Most of all Thanks to Pam and the Portland club for a great show! Thanks dear friend Patricia Ridenour for being such a cool, smart, funny, cute, photographer friend and my personal paparazzi!
And last but certainly not least thanks to David Brunn aka D'Funn for being D'Mann and keeping us in style!
Queenie and Aphrodite enjoy the shows, Queenie won in stiff competition total count up to 80 kittens.
