I am Miller

Logan and I were listening to a play on the radio about a barrister called Birkett from way back in 1925. In the opening scene this really posh old bird arrives at night and demands of the Clerk to bet let in to see Sir Edward (Birkett’s boss). The dialogue goes something like this:

Clerk: Hello?  Hello?  …anybody there?

Lady Caernarvon: Good Evening

Clerk: Can I help you madam?

Lady Caernarvon: Sir Edward Marshall Hall?

Clerk: No, I’m afraid…. Well, you see normally we don’t receive visitors after nine o’clock, especially  visitors who just let themselves in the front door.

Lady Caernarvon:It is of the utmost emergency that I speak to Sir Edward Marshall Hall

Clerk: I’m ever so sorry but Sir Edward isn’t here, Mrs errr?

Lady Caernarvon:I am Amlina Countess of Caernarvon

Clerk: Oh… oh… err …oh please…. sit dowm. LEt me errr… you see I’m Edgar, I’m the Clerk, you see, there’s nobody else here.

Lady Caernarvon:Well I am sure Sir Edward would have no objection if you were to telephone him.

Clerk: No, he’s in Manchester.

Lady Caernarvon:I must see him. I was told he is the best.  He is the best?

Clerk: Oh he’s the best yes… only he’s… he’s in Manchester.

Lady Caernarvon:Then he must return from Manchester. Shall I send a train?

“SHALL I SEND A TRAIN?”

Aaaahhhhhhaaaaaahhaaaaahhhhhaaaahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa !!

What, from Marketplace?
Why don’t you just send him a Teleport?

Logan says I’m missing the point and if you were really posh in 1925, perhaps you could send someone a train.
But I still don’t see how you’d get it round their house, unless they lived at a station.

Matilde and Rosanna see eye to eye.

Whaddyamean WIFE?

I never even seen her before!

Today we appointed a new VKC Proven Trainer. Roe Woodford. Here she is getting the customary slapping from some of the other trainards in the Dog Park.

Most new trainers giggle and look embarrassed when they do this but as you can see, this presented no problem at all for Roe. Having been a super model and fought off the girl with the Ninja Eyelashes, she jumped straight in and fought back.

Logan installed a new viewer so that she could see Mesh and not cry.  But it had a bit of a problem with the crouch pose and it made her look even more demented than the usual crouch pose.

Sweetypie, the Polar Bear Cub is rolling around on the floor laughing but Blu is just off camera saying, “Aye-yi-yi”

But wait… there’s more… just look at the video!

Aaaahhhhhhaaaaaahhaaaaahhhhhaaaahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaa !!

I was delighted to accept when Lieffiie invited me to take Logan to see the Harajuku show in the Miss Essence of Ebony Contest.

I had no idea what it meant, but I thought we would find out when we got there and I’d be able to wing it from there on in.

No such luck.
This was much harder than I thought to work out.

First I thought it meant “Get all your stuff out of the closet, throw it on the bed and get dressed while wearing a blindfold.”

Then I decided it must mean “Girl with the Chimey Sweep Brush”

Or perhaps “You must wear something bright pink”

Maybe it just means “Scary Girl”

I was pretty sure that I was right with “Scary Girl” for a while.

But then I realised that it might mean:
“Where did you get that hat,
where did you get that hat?”

“I should like to have one,
just the same as that”

I watched the show a bit more and wondered if it might be the Japanese word for “Stormtrooper Platform Boots”

Or I’ve got “Mad Pink Hair!”

Finally, I worked it out.
It means, “It’s my birthday soon, I hope someone can buy me some new laces”!

Harajuku.

Logan and I had been whispering and we attracted the attention of the scary judge. She said, “Stop talking in the back row, or else I’ll come and eat all your beads. Because I’ve nearly finished eating all of mine.”

Not all of the judges were scary. This is my old friend Roe Woodford who has been promotard and is now a Harajuku judge too.

And this judge is the owner.
I don’t think she can see if the Harajukus or the judges are scary.
I don’t think she can see anything at all.

Dad to the Husky: “When I said come here and sit down” I meant come around here to my chair and sit on the floor beside me, like Charlie did.

I had always thought that dogs liked smelly things and would have expected a king of the dung heap photo, but Widget has more class. Either that or he couldn’t find a dung heap.

Thanks to Eve Compton for the photo.

honey far to many times,
oh ain’t that just the way, yeah-yeah,
ain’t that a crime?”     – Tyla

This is Lieffiie Ruby in a recent modelling competition.

As I said before, it’s not always easy being a model, much less as glamorous as you might imagine. In this competition they had to make their own outfits using nothing more than an old witches broom and some coloured baler twine.
