Can Mimi talk?
Still patiently awaiting an Ottawa party without Justin Trudeau.
You might have a long wait, he's pretty popular. I think he gets invited to ALL the parties.
Next posting is an NDP party. :)
I think that's spelled paarr – tay.
What the hell is that animal? Its like some kind of skinny hairless cat.
In keeping with the theme, it's a hep cat. Remember them?
Many folks were too young to get Feschuk's 'ancient Chinese secret' reference from the 1970's, so I'm going out on a limb and guessing most won't. :)
That's Mimi, the hairless cosmopolitan wonder.
Zsuzsanna Zsohar looks really young in this shot — Mitch, you must be invited to every party because you make everyone looks great!
I especially love that you always show the food — you can tell a lot about people by how they treat their guests.
And you know, if you cover that glorious mane of hair of his, Justin Trudeau really looks like PET, not his mother.
