my very first "letter from the editor-in-chief" photo
(This is not the photo we used, by the way!)

2007, I'm no party girl but when Cosmo magazine
throws its annual Bachelor Bash,
I'm front row and center!
(L-R: Red, Lana, Nic and Coni)

enjoying ice cream and beauty products

2007, Ianne and me at the posh salon of Louis Philip Kee, our favorite hairstylist
(Louis has a fab reputation: any woman who goes to him gets engaged/married within the year!
I never thought I'd get married--I liked single life--but I went to Louis in March 2006,
by December that year, I was engaged!)
ANIMAL LOVE, 2007
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdaXw-FmJBLluLrfHajBosbxyI4bXI7QGSiltWRwvocuI1Gb-uHdh0KbZhYFPb7f1gMIMWMtXhNqbxIrL4NzmBrMyn6UC7V4hyphenhyphenzoD1nBC71ElikB1fyGIR1zB1m1VBIPF-qfQS_A/s1600/ThreeRabbits.jpg)
I'm a rabbit mommy. I've lost a lot of kids
(Christopher Columbus, Waiter, Gandalf and Alice)
and miss them terribly but I still have
Galadriel and Matilda to dote on!
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPNAY-z20t5cQMcIWgCX50sOgXP20Q3HrTCnDfMPFzd13p9E2MV8NAmlzYw_0f-jJsOYNN6f7uWIchQ33dSD9FP9j5NOj52fq6Yfa07oLB-KM-eHKUPPAElHEkFli9jNex60uOLA/s640/ZooLiloMe1.jpg)
I've had a tiger on my lap. This is little baby Lilo (he weighs like a house). I bottle-fed him!
Big smile but I was also nervous big time!
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXQXBNIy40qJnBMWD9w2cgnK1569v3kQ17tGwFkxovmldpWUqm7S8Po4yPQWNnZ3-EIAv82HUIhrifuNKm_C9Cq1tJl335PWHklDqeTQoLHUIubidHXwVayzf8tVF79feliNWX_A/s640/Cats2.jpg)
And here's a little version of a tiger, Maisa's baby boy. I can't remember the Japanese name
but it sounds like Marshmallow
WEDDING, 2007

The moment I realized I was a bride

No, I didn't feel like a princess; I felt like a goddess!

My walk down the aisle with my beloved parents
(Mama looked so chic!)

The fun begins!
FAMILY LIFE, 2007

At the sunny wedding of
my younger brother Theodore to Rose

Realizing my sister Jacqui, who is 13 years younger than me,
isn't a kid anymore... and that she needs a good haircut.
Would like to bring her to Louis but
I don't want her to get married yet!

Our library! Yes, it's a dream come true. I live in a house with a library!
