TUXY TUESDAY: THE DIVA DOMINO

Domino is indeed a diva and now she has the dress to prove it!  Mama bought her a new red one with big sparkly stars on it, befitting Domino's sparkling purrsonality.  And it befits her very well, too, as you will see.

So here's the latest modelling session with our own fab fashionista.  We begin with Domino on her outdoor runway.

The red dress is a cute sleeveless number with a collar and ruffled skirt.


From the top view, you can clearly see the stars just under the waistline, and the DIVA moniker that suits Domino so well.  The stars and the wording are done in a tasteful dark silver with just a touch of sparkle.


Domino's modelling instincts resulted in this sweet shot.  Note how the flowers match her new dress.


Then she gives us that faraway look that lets us know she's thinking of her one true love, Milo.  The flowers remind her of him because when last they saw each other they spent most of their time in his garden in Sidmouth.



Here's a shot from a different purrspective.  Head on, as it were.  You can see the detail of the front of the dress, with its pointed open collar, and the white piping around the armholes.



As the sun hits her ears, Domino takes a pensive pose.

Domino is thinking "What is that noise I hear?"



"O noes!  Is Dante comin' to doos his doody in da middul of mai fotoshoot!"



Domino is NOT impurressed with the eau de Dante that is wafting her way.



And she just loses it (as divas will).  "I cant stand da smell!  Dese werkin' condishuns is intallerabull!!!"


And with that, Domino walks off!


She decides to go for a walk and get some fresh air.  The breeze is gently blowing the skirt of her dress.


With calm restored, Domino does a tour of her territory, beginning in the neighbour's driveway.


She goes down the drive, and across the street ...


... to check things out at Auntie Susan's place.  "At weest de air is bettah ovah heer", she says.


And she makes a stop in the middle of the road, as usual, just to make sure efurryone knows it belongs to her.  Cars beware!  Diva's on duty.


As Dylan greets Domino back on home turf, they both spy something very interesting.


"We has visiters!", cries Domino, who just loves to be the center of attention.  "Its Auntie Susan frum across da stweet, and a cuppla stwangahs!  I jus' luvs stwangahs.  I gets all sortsa pats frum stwangahs -- but I doan talks to dem cuz mama says not to."


As it turns out the "strangers" are Auntie Susan's Mom and Dad.  So, I tell Domino it's okay to talk to them.  But she does much more than that!  Domino just loves the smell of socks and shoes, especially on men for some reason.  Here she is just sniffing away!


And in true diva style, she takes right over!  She doesn't have to say "Look at me", there is no other choice.  The tiny tuxy diva rules the day.  As it should be -- it is Tuxy Tuesday after all.

FURIENDS ON FRIDAY: DANTE AND DOMINO

Dante and Domino have a very special relationship.  Not only are they brofur and sisfur, but they are also fast furiends.  There is an easiness between them that doesn't exist between Dylan and Domino (mainly because he's always trying to jump her!).

This is a relationship built on trust and loyalty.  Domino trusts that Dante knows his place -- and Dante defers to her majesty.

You will note that in every picture, except for the last where they are on equal footing, that Domino is in the dominant position and Dante in the submissive.

Here they are just hanging out in the garden together.


Four eyes are better than two when it comes to an introoder alert.


Domino can turn her back and be confident that Dante won't make any untoward moves.  If anything he's just become more submissive, if that's pawsible!


It's wonderful to have such a relaxed rapport ...


... as well a furiend who'll help you out when you need it.



Domino holds Dante in such esteem that she even allowed him to join her last modelling photoshoot!


Back on the front steps Domino directs Dante.  "Yoo luk dis way an' i'll luk dat", she says.  Domino has always aspired to be a director, and she's very good at it, indeed.


"Efurryfing goes bettah wen yoo coopurrates", says Dante.


"Yes, yoor Hi-ness!  I yam at yoor serve-us", declares Dante.


So they unite in a single cause -- begging mama to let them in.  
The Moral:  When you work together, you more often WIN!

And they did.  Win, that is.

TUXY TUESDAY: EXTREMELY DOMINO!

Domino is sweet; Domino is fierce.

Domino can be the sweetest little thing you'll ever encounter.


She's small, gentle and very loving.


But then there's that other side.
"I yam ladycat, heer me woar!", she cries.


Have no doubt, despite all appearances, Domino rules.


Such sweet little paws.


And sweet little feet.

Paws that can be used for swatting.

To keep the riffraff in line.

"Yoo may pass beneef me, yoo twoll!  Doo not cum dis wai again."


Domino is Queen of the Walk.


She is a huntress, nonpareil!


Never has such sweetness been mixed with such fire.  Domino is truly a study in extremes.
