Cute and Cuddly, Anyone?

Rachel Hale is our favorite photographer for all things cute and cuddly. Every year without fail, she manages to elicit excited cries of "Awww, how cute is that?" (complete with pouting expression) from us. No matter that the subject has been used countless times before - she always manages to find a fresh angle to it. We discovered Rachel way back in 2002 from the unique and eye-catching cat/dog calendars being sold at National Bookstore ... and we have unfailingly bought a copy ever since. I like all her pictures but the ones I posted below are closest to my heart ...




I dub this "Little Ginny" - at least, this angelic face is how I picture Ginny to be when she was just a wee pup, gazing innocently at you with those limpid blue eyes while nibbling with unformed puppy teeth on your unsuspecting toes :-)




This yellow lab with the pweetty pweetty eyes remind of Ginny's brother Peter (sans the girlie necklace of course!) Actually, he kinda looks more like George (Peter's twin) who's so gay, he can give the fab5 a run for their money :-)



Despite reminding me of our-ill fated but much beloved Siamese, Ebony, this picture describes me better than I can ever write or verbalize. CLW (Cute Little Witch). I'm a dainty (monicker for "height below 5ft") and utterly feline creature addicted to catnaps, with an often dormant witchy-bitchy side which asserts itself only when you: 1) step on my tail 2) deprive me of my beloved catnaps and 3) try to out-bitch me. Meeoww! :-)

This is Kikay Kitty, my Alter-ego. Admittedly, my Kikay-ness is an acquired personality trait, imbibed by unconsciously associating with other Kikay creatures until it became a crucial part of my psyche. I'm not complaining though :-) Everybody deserves to look and feel beautiful! This trait only becomes dangerous when you don't have the brains to control it, which, fortunately is not an affliction I'll ever have to worry about heehee ;-) (those impulse buys at last week's tiangge don't count!)
