My friend Rachel is doing something nice for the holidays for animals : Go to www.FARescue.org/ralphs -- If you have a Ralphs card you just sign in with that and follow the directions and they will donate funds to Forte animal rescue. Another nice thing to do is a clothing drive, I am doing one now for  Safe Passage ( safepassagehome.org ) a home for battered women....whatever it is this holiday season, take a few moments of your time to reach out. With the economy the way it is many of us can only give our love and our time and frankly..that's the best thing we can offer.

Hey folks! The big UK premier is tomorrow night and I will not be there unfortunately but here's a pic of the creator-writer-director; Andrew Dymond holding one of the giant posters which will be hanging from the theatre. Please visit the site (listed below in the october 30th post) and if you're at the screening...please support them by laughing and applauding!

Thanks, CC

What a fun holiday! Dressing up is one of my favorite past times so this particular time of year is a riot for me! Here's a pic of my 60's influenced garb shot by (and co-starring) the groovy Dave... I hope you all had a safe and happy holiday..
