Patty also bought roses for her daughter, mother-in-law and two friends, for Mother's Day at the Honolulu Rose Society booth, which was set up at Windward Mall for a rose show and sale.
TWISTING FOR TOTS
Joy Yamashita and Brittany Kawahara reached backwards during the finale of the dance performance "Satin Soul" at St. Timothy's Children Center yesterday. The dancers from Rosalie Woodson Dance Studio were part of some of the festivities that included entertainment, food, games and a silent auction to raise funds and community involvement for the center.
RIDDLE OF THE SPHYNX
Pat Campbell held his Sphynx cat, Gina, a hairless cat breed, at the Hawaii Pet Expo 2004 yesterday. Campbell breeds the rare cats and did a presentation during the Aloha Cat Fanciers Parade of Cats exhibit. The owner explained that a natural mutation causes the hairless feature of the Sphynx and because of its bareness the cats have a higher metabolism than most. The cat is ideal for individuals who are allergic to cat dander and hair but won't spare those who are allergic to cat saliva. Because of its rarity, Sphynx cats range from $800 and up for a pet-quality animal and start at $1,500 for a show-quality one.
