Where I have been

I am assuming no one missed me but I missed you all! ;) I was in NY since Friday. I had a fabulous time! Banquets and a drag supper club along with dog showing. :) See if you can guess which one I am [describe the outfit I am wearing]

I tried to embed the video NO LUCK! :(

In red with the flared black skirt and the lovely tan girl?
Nirvana • Feb 16, 2011 11:21 am
Yes red jacket that's me! My girl came in season the week of the show and while you can still show them she was sure she did not want the judges hand back there! :)
Nirvana • Feb 16, 2011 11:23 am
The judge picked 4 winners we were number 5 in that line up.... so close! :)

Very very awesome! I want one. (A lovely tan girl) (with fur)

If you are ever in NY and want a cheap fun night out go to this place LIPS http://www.lipsnyc.com/

$50 a person including dinner, an adult drink, and the tip!

I was there 10 years ago and they moved to a better nicer place.

Just to be clear I am the blonde in the red jacket and SKIRT :) I see there was another lady in a red jacket and slacks. My Mia is a fawn colored girl.

The Westminster! COOL!

Nirvana, I used to accompany my mother to shows, she raised and showed cairn terriers. She never made it to Westminster, but I was with her at least three times at Chicago International at McCormick Place. What a truly neat and fun world that is. Congratulations on your close showing!

Mia is very well behaved. She wasn't straining at the leash like a lot of others were.

For those who want to jump to Nirvana's part, she's about 5min 20 seconds left in the video.

Thanks all I was pleased with my girl's performance. We had a judge from Norway who had no experience with US Chihuahuas but seemed to know the breed standard. I have to say he was pleasant to show to, but a bit heavy handed, he made more than one dog back away on the table.

We had a great time after the show Mia took photos with over 200 people from the public that passed thru the benching area. She was very patient with children and their parents got some great shots of Mia and their kids!

I think she is 71 and I recognized her by the way her mouth looked. She has those distinctive lips and teeth.

Cool! I guess I'm too late and everything's been answer. I'm so glad I recognized you. And a great dog you've got there. :D
Nirvana • Feb 17, 2011 7:15 pm
Thanks Tulip!
I am so bad at finding old threads so I will post here that I was neither groped or body scanned at either NY or Chicago airports. I only walked thru the metal detector thingy. I did see people being scanned and groped tho...
