A Whole lot of FUN Revolving Around

Jordan Art Couture

and Animal Conservation!

Three different days of animal related Jordon designs, and all filled with fun. First it was a gals trip to Beverly Hills to raise awareness for the Cheetah Conservation Fund, www.cheetah.org, and the good works done by Dr. Laurie Marker for the cause.

Among the 'animal billboards' wearing beautiful couture by Jordan were Dani Hammer, moi, Jeanne Jones, Jordan, and Barb Paulos.

Barb limo-ed over from Palm Springs.

We animal billboards caused quite a stir on Rodeo. We proceeded to eat and shop our way through Beverly Hills. Jeanne Jones was 'busted' in a few stores where they knew her by name. Seems she is a well liked and remembered client at a number of chic enclaves.

Lunch on the Alley, a very cool producer hang, cocktails and appetizers like macaroni with truffles in the tea room at the Montage, and then dinner at the paparazzi favorite, The Ivy, where Fergie was dining.

Everyone asked about the cheetah billboards.... so great news for our adventure. We made our statement in an animal friendly way!

.............................

Next flash forward to lunch at the Pauma Valley Country Club. Hosted by Kay MacMurray, the luncheon featured: a fashion show by Jordan modeled by the chic PVCC ladies, jeweled napkin rings handmade by Jordan's son Kevin, and some informal modeling by the jeweled gals of Tiffany's.

The fashion was fun and oh so Jordan elegant. Jeanne Jones modeled with the PVCC gals. All were applauded. Seen in the crowd were Darlene Shiley, she did a little bit of Jordan shopping later, Peggy Stephenson from Tiffany's, Reena Horowitz, Jordan's mother Vergie, David Masterjohn, Chris Marek of the American Red Cross, and Jeanne Jones of course.

Jeanne is also the Founder of the Red Rose Society, a critically needed organization that raises much needed funds for emergency vans and such for San Diego and Imperial Counties.

Fun, fun day culminating when Jordan was presented with a birthday cake....so much for that secret eh Jordan?

..............................

Next it was a day devoted to the Painted Dog Conservancy in Zimbabwe. Jordan coordinated a trunk showing at the Grande Colonial Hotel in La Jolla, with a special luncheon.

At the luncheon were locals Judy Wheatley, Taylor Miller, Jordan, and Peter Blinston and Greg Rasmussen of the Painted Dog Conservancy. The painted dog boys discussed what it was like dealing with local politics and trying to save the Painted Dog through local education starting with children, and educating the world populace via international awareness and education.

Later, Greg and Peter were the featured guests for a reception at Sea World's Hubb Center that evening. Lycaon Pictus, or Painted Dog has not been known to hurt any human, yet it is humans that are the primary problem for their survival.

Now it is up to humans, to be the primary source for the Painted Dog's survival and re-thrival.

Please visit www.painteddog.org to learn more about this fascinating animal, and the ecological benefits for preserving it.

The Buzz

Good news up at the Wildlife Safari in Winston, Oregon. They have 22 cheetahs that are doing well and breeding!

.............

Meanwhile, you might have seen the 'uproar' over Kenya tribes putting poison out to kill lions. The lion population has diminished from 200,000 to 30,000. The locals want the lions dead because lions eat the tribal cattle..... Now with awareness, it looks like action is slowly being taken to stop the poisoning....

To Musical News......

Pictured here are:

SummerFest Gala Honorary Chair Lael Kovtun with La Jolla Music Society President and Artistic Director Christopher Beach, and Gala Chair Annika Kovtun. (Not pictured is Honorary Chair Jay Kovtun)

Annika and Gordon Kovtun held a reception for SummerFest patrons at their home overlooking San Diego to the South. Among the many there enjoying Annika and Lael's incredible buffet cuisine were Jeanne Jones and Don Breitenberg, Carolyn Yorston-Wellcome and Bard Wellcome, SummerFest Chair Martha Dennis, Patsy and David Marino, Sally Fuller, and Dolly and Victor Woo.

Part of the entertainment was watching the Kovtuns' egg laying chickens run back and forth across the lawn. And the lawn was next to the extensive fruit and vegetable garden.

.....Gordon explained, Annika got her garden, and he got his boat.
