Hybrid Kitty Kats for the Insanely Affluent…

tmpphpIrWz5w.jpg

So, I’m a recipient of the Daily Candy newsletter (If you aint in the know, get in the know). Yesterdays feature was about the L.A. based, uber exotica pet breeders, Life Style Pets.

Lifestyle Pets claim to breed “Asheras, the worlds rarest and most exotic cat“. By blending the bloodlines of the African Serval and Asian Leopard Cat with a domestic cat, a totally tame feline resembling a mini leopard is born. Check Life Styles Pet website for details.

The price tag for this most divine kitty aint no punk. In other words, Asheras aint for everybody, just the insanely affluent (and possibly very foolish) people. For a mere $22,000 you too can own an cuddly Ashera. Your kitty is hand delivered fully vaccinated with nail caps on its claws, as well as a year of veterinary insurance, a microchip identifier, and the ear of an animal behaviorist for ten years. Because you can never be too careful.

*chuckles*

I love Gods creatures. You know I do…

But $22,000.000 for an “exotic” pet? Um, hell nah. I don’t think so. Do you know what I could do with $22,000? I have other priorities. As soon as an extra 22 G’s falls into my lap, I’ll be high stepping all the way to the bank to pay off random debts and most importantly the federal government (student loans are evil and they need to be pardoned).

Holiday Leftovers . . .

For those of you who enjoy the “Lifestyle” segments at Saucy Dame Delux - Here are a few images I captured over the holidays . . .

None of the following items belong to me (I’se poor, poor, poor). Everything you see, belongs to my mom and grandmother. I’m just waiting to hit the “BIG TIME” or have some of these trinkets bequeathed unto me. . . Until then, I’ll just enjoy their stuff. *ha ha*

“The Skinny on the Fatty” akaThe Real Deal on the Life and Times of a Saucy Dame.

I keep looking in the mirror . . . and wondering how much rounder my face is going to get before I do something about it. All of the good eatin’, top shelf cocktails & a few of the deadly sins (gluttony and slothfulness) are catching up with me. . .and it doesn’t help that the current climate in Minnesota has me wanting to hibernate until I turn into a big fat bear that no one will recognize. And I’m not even going to talk about all of the calories I sucked down over Thanksgiving [w/ Christmas right around the corner]. I should be in a soul food comatose right about now. But, no matter what – I refuse to resort to the Lap Band. Now that right there is just sooo unnecessary for the majority of the shiftless, over-indulged citizens of the U.S.A. ; who really just need to moderate their food intake and move SOMETHING on the treadmill. Wouldn’t you agree? I know exactly what to do – I just need to get my mind right, tis all.

I NEED AN INTERVENTION !
