BEDBUGS AND BALLYHOO

The week of X-mas has been fuzzy, hectic and full of action.
Hella has survived her first holiday season with poise and charm.
Her grandmother (Oma) has come for a visit from New York, and the
two of them have become fast friends...bonding primarily over breakfast.
Hella's brothers are driving her parents' crazy.
Hella, however, has been her usual silky self.

Yes, that IS a My Little Pony.
Mommy is so excited...

Things left unattended, immediately become
the property of Ms. Hella Katchoo...

This is not a human being...this is a prototype
of the next generation of companion androids...
codename: Athena.

When a day full of activities winds down...
sleep...sleep...sleep.
