I warn you I'm going to be catty here, but, well, love it or shove it, I'm not going to change any time soon. 
But first, the Barbara Eden pics I promised!
This is from the Jeannie look-alike contest at the Castro Theatre last July. (I didn't win; a Russian genie gymnast did, but dammit, I had fun!)


And here I am with the Lady, herself!


We talked about working opposite lions and leopards, and I got an autographed copy of her surprisingly poignant, candid memoir, Jeannie Out of the Bottle.
With my bottle blonde 'do up against to her flaxen locks, we could pass for mother and daughter in a thick fog.
Trivia: Barbara is a native of San Francisco.
Here's my own 'petting the wild pussy' shot.


The photo was taken with Isis, an aptly-named ocelot at Isis Oasis temple and sanctuary, by Ayda Meisami for my CD artwork.

On to fuzzier topics!
This is my new adopted Mongolian Manul, Princess!
She's uncommonly sweet and curious despite the Pallas' permascowl, and lives at the EFBC (or the "Cat House") and is also called a Pallas' Cat.


a glimpse of last year's Twilight Tour
Check out the fine spotted feline, a Persian leopard called Shapur:






Took the opportunity to shoot some footage for my song, Pet the Manul, Bitch! You can see a surreal, quirkily humorous version of it on youtube and hear the (more or less unmastered) track if you wish.
On a subsequent day trip: My butt+Manul butt...for when you don't give a cat's ass - or when you do!
(Trivia: Pallas' Cats love to hang out in tubes and in the wild you'll often find them in logs or wedged in between rocks.)




I met a pawesome Manul family at the Ohio Zoo. Went to see them when I heard the babies were (almost miraculously) born via artificial insemination. If you read up on this cat (I recommend SaveManul.org for info about their plight and ZaManula! (Manul Power!) for pics and vids posted by mostly-Russian Manulomaniacs)...
