Your Bio

Big and Small world.

I created this photo site when I first met my husband Darren. It was a way for us to abridge the distance between us, as we lived across the country from each other.

For just a little about Darren and I? Well, we met in 2002 at the Playboy Mansion of all places and have had our fair share of thrills, tumbles and escapades since. Now Married and amazingly enough, sharing the greatest of all adventures, being parents to our new son Athens Ellis Aschaffenburg-- as we continue to have a great love, tremendous friends and an extraordinary ride. I wish you a magnificent life and hope you enjoy the small look at ours!
Cat, Darren & Athens

Italy. Rome & Florence May/June 2004 : Italy is fabulous! Darren and I spent a week in Rome and about a week in Florence. I think I dragged poor Darren to view every piece of art and ruin in Rome! Not to mention every gelato store!! Our friend Albert who lives in Rome took us out to a few clubs...it was a bit different drinking and dancing in ancient buildings turned to night clubs. Oh well... when in Rome!!!!! Florence is also beautiful and full of Americans! Our dear friend Alexa Pulitizer and Seth Levine exchanged vows in a castle just north of Florence. In my lifetime I have never had more fun at or seen a more beautiful wedding!

Playboy Mansion -Mid Summer Nights Dream - August 2003 : Saying goodbye to Summer 2003 in style. For starters saturday - Hef's infamous Mid Summer Party at the Mansion. This year I brought along my friends Kelly, Jessica and Ashley (cyber-bunny.) Typical celeb filled party with free drinks... and lots of half dressed women. (About a 20 to 1 ratio.... so eat your heart out guys!) Happy to run into old friends.. Of course they joined us for the rest of the weekend.. mostly in the Foundation Room (House of Blues VIP) for drinks. Courtesy of my fabulous boyfriend Darren- Hey you have to laugh when celebs are asking YOU if you can get them in the Foundation Room!! Thanks Baby! Great weekend, so long summertime.

Playboy Mansion-Mid Summer Nights Dream-August 2004 : A quick weekend in LA to celebrate the end of Summer... Playboy style! This year Kelly and I found ourselves again in the midst of Playmates, Stardust Covered Fairies, more Celebrities than we could recognize and as always the nude-but-painted ladies handing us Jell-O shots. All this at Hef's annual Mid Summer Nights Dream party at the Playboy Mansion. The party was wild and fun... but we weren't able to capture much on film. This year strict rules on photos were upheld.; still we managed to sneak a few shots here and there!! So Enjoy!!! It was great again to hang out with friends we don't see that often. Alas as I said last year... great weekend... so long summertime!!

Grosse Point Summer Weekend 2004- July : What a way to beat the New Orleans heat! The 5th annual (My 2nd) Grosse Point Weekend. Many favorite moments include…the Prince concert on Friday night, dinner at the country club, jet boating/skiing on the lake, sunning by the pool and just quite moments with the one you love reading somewhere in a corner. The Whelan’s are forever the most gracious of hosts. Though this weekend is always an amazing time… I think we all agree that this assemblage above all got it right! Thank you again to the Whelan’s and to Michael for the sensational invite!

Fur Faces : I haven't posted my pet photos for fear I would seem the crazy cat lady. Then I thought with the joy these little lives bring.. they deserve their featured place! Bella is three and is a regal athletic cat. Typical to the Oriental breed she is a lover and usually is glued to me. (She is on my lap now.) Though she comes from a long line of Grand Champions, I chose not to breed or show her. Maduro is eleven and a Havana Brown, by far the coolest and most laid back cat in the world. No fear of anything.. big dogs or small children. You can find him resting on the nearest warm spot. He can't help it...gravity just seems to pull on him a little harder than the rest of us. I-lean is my feral rescue cat that found me. She has her issues and does hide most of the day until... it is time for ME to sleep! Before she found me she experienced some type of trama that left her with a strong head tilt to the left (not noticable in photos) Hence her name I-Lean. Sweet as can be, she always has a look on her face that is soft and full of wonderment. Hours of love and joy.
