Jeremy Taylor was banned from South Africa in the 1960's for his anti-apartheid stance. The song below was a favorite among South Africans. Here, he also speaks a little bit about the Afrikaners' English.

Project Runway Winner

Unlike runner up, Kenley Collins, Leanne Marshal was never rude to the judges and didn't become obnoxiously over confident about her designs. I did love Kenley's girlie dresses and her feather wedding dress was fabulous in a swan lake kind of way. The judges, however, did not incorrectly notice that herwedding dress was indeed too similar to this dress by Alexander McQueen. This criticism, like many others, was ardently refuted by Kenley whose cockiness often bordered on the ridiculous. Leanne's line was an architectural dream. What girl wouldn't want to wear ocean blue clothes shaped like petals?

Sam's Suspect Lineage

The article below prompted me to think of the slightly smelly West Virginian who sold us our beloved Sam. In 2003 I told my parents the dreaded news that for my next Birthday I would like a puppy. My childhood dog, Boo, had died in the Spring and the heartbreak that had once afflicted my parents had settled into an unspoken, apathetic agreement that they were too old to keep any more animals. I felt a tad guilty for disturbing the peace, but a household companion was needed. I wanted something to lather with unconditional affection. After searching the Washington post for weeks, I finally saw an advertisement posted by one aptly named Mrs Husky for a litter of Shi-tzu/Maltese puppies. My mom and I made the trek to West Virginia where we were lead into her rancid basement to see the dogs. Sam, being the widest and most solid looking of the bunch, won my heart immediately. (Note, he is currently finishing his breakfast and Frodo's). My parents drove back 2 months later and brought him to me for my Birthday. We have loved him ever since and he turns Five on December 1st.

Today I looked at Sam's birth certificate. Under Breed it said Kyi-Leo. After some research on google I found out that Kyi Leos are listed under the rare breeds society. They are a cross between a Lhasa Apso and a Maltese. Mrs. Husky became awfully surreptitious when we asked her to see Sam's parents, so this news isn't terribly surprising. But I wonder about the ad in the paper? Anyway, we know Sam is definitely 1/2 Maltese. He gets his color from either being 1/2 Shi-tzu or Lhasa Apso.
