What a historic bow, lmao

Seems weird to me to name your black pets after a black person. Though maybe I'm just assuming these are white pet owners? Or maybe I've been watching too many reruns of Extras (season 1...The show with Samuel L. Jackson...).

aretha franklin wor it at the presidential inauguration. duh.
Posted by: Amanda | January 28, 2009 at 05:42 PM
Thanks for stating the obvious Amanda. I hope Ally read it and finally got the reference. :) Bad quality picture, funny story though.
Posted by: Andrea | January 28, 2009 at 07:28 PM
The original photo was much better. The quality problem is my doing. Sorry, Aretha.

My cat is named after one of my heroes, the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin. It just so happens that, like her namesake, she is black. Her tummy is white, not that it matters. Don't hate -- appreciate!
Clearly, I am not a Photoshop pro ... I whipped it up on a lark. I hope it makes you smile ... I got a kick out of it.

Posted by: Nova | January 28, 2009 at 08:06 PM
Worst Photoshop EVER. So that has to be part of the joke.

Hey that hat looks great on the real Aretha, kitty Aretha, and Ellen.
Awesome, cols!

My cat is black and named Zora - I think my kids named her after some video game, but personally, she is named after Zora Neale Hurston, the black writer. What's wrong with naming your black pets after black people?
