The First Change of Life
Shirley Kenosha is born February 14, 1994
Shirley is my alter-ego and the first character that I created. She was borne out of the observation
that greeting cards are mostly bought by women and most of those cards are sent to other
women. Shirley is "all women" to me. It was through performing Shirley that I came to know
that I have a blonde soul.

On January 18 Caledonia had her litter of 5 kittens.
And Shirley thought that they would make amazing earrings
...a little loud but definitely fabulous!
This was our first one-woman show, at the Red Room, which was a reknown poetry venue. My first performance ever ever was Shirley, as the upbeat Beat, doing 60 seconds of original poetry, at a local arts event in the Spring 1995. After this event, we were approached to do our own show, one hour of poetry! Tom couldn't believe that I said YES. I only had two poems, a total of 60 seconds of material, but I was fearless! Six weeks later we did an hour show at the Redroom and killed 'em!!
Buster and Rosie 1995
Black and Whites, piebalds as they are called are my favorites; they are the comics of the cat world.
Buster is the big fellow on the left; my bestest friend ever. And Rosie was my new "little one" that we had just found on the street they year before. I called Buster "Bubba" and Rosie "little Bubba".
Kat Caverly the character is born 1996
There was no stopping me now; I knew I wanted to be a movie star. Having no talent didn't
stop me either!
