Adorable lady finds missing cat during interview outside tornado-ruined home

By Liz Goodwin

Aren't you glad it's Friday? Do you want to maybe cry a little in celebration?

Then check out this video, below, of Judy Pugh, whose home was destroyed by the tornadoes that swept through Tuscaloosa, Alabama on April 27. The ferocious twister left at least 39 dead in Tuscaloosa alone.

Pugh cheerfully told local station WIAT that she rushed to the hallway with her three cats when the mile-wide tornado hit. The roof fell on top of her, but miraculously she and two of her cats were all in one piece. "I tried to get to my hands and knees but I couldn't. I heard the young men calling 'Ms. Judy, Ms. Judy, are you in there?'" she recalls.

Pugh was telling the station reporter about how much she missed her third cat Cadie, whom she hadn't been able to find for three weeks, when the cat walked right up to her during the interview. "I have everything I want now. I have all three cats," she said.

You can watch the truly incredible video below:

Tease-O-Rama - 10 Years Later!

10 years ago today marks the anniversary of the very FIRST neo- burlesque convention and showcase on planet earth - TEASE-O-RAMA!
It is so crazy to think that at that first New Orleans event we invited EVERYONE we could think of doing burlesque and that was about 25 different acts! LOL. Over the years the burlesque scene has grown waaaayyyy beyond what we could have ever imagined from multiple burlesque weekenders, movies and documentaries, books, conventions, tours and oh so much more. It really is mind boggling!
The main reason Alison Fensterstock and I (Baby Doe) decided to do Tease-O-Rama 2001 was to bring together this incredibly diverse group of burlesque, cabaret, and go-go dancers from all over the world and create a COMMUNITY! Lucky for us we had amazing helpers that first year from Debbie Mink, Superfly Productions, our first emcee Juan Rapido (I think he spent half the night doing the monkey dance to kill time), support from Dixie Evans and The Devil-Ettes did a whole lot of the volunteering and hand holding that first year. We had so much love and excitement generated in New Orleans by all the dancers and attendees this confirmed that we were onto something special. In 2002 Alan Parowski joined the production and we continued to produce Tease-O-Rama six more times including a west coast tour to multiple cities. I could write a whole book about all my Tease-O-Rama adventures over years!
So often I am asked ‘when is the next Tease-O-Rama’ and my goal has always been to make this event the BEST that it can be. Money/Kids/Day Job/dance troupe/ and a zillions other things have prevented me from doing the event every year but Tease-O-Rama is not gone and lost forever. We will be back....
I just wanted to send High Fives out to all those who we have worked with us throughout the years and who believed in what we were doing and always welcomed us with glittery open arms!
Can't believe it has been 10 years!
XO Baby Doe
Tease-O-Rama
"Things have certainly changed since then in the burlesque world, but Tease-O-Rama 2001 will always be my first big burlesque revelation." - DIRTY MARTINI
"The first Tease-O-Rama was a galvanizing moment for me, and I think for the rest of the Neo-Burlesque community. It was the first time I saw other people from around the country and the world who were doing the same kind of art I had been doing for years. I felt like I suddenly found My People." - Indigo Blue
"Tease-O-Rama is where I first met a lot of the performers I admire and am still friends with.... It gave me my first look at how varied and creative the community is and it made me a better performer- I definitely went away inspired and ready to take all I'd learned from the classes and from watching my peers on stage." - Michelle Baldwin
Check out this list of EVERYONE who ever performed at a Tease-O-Rama!

‘Playboy’ show will shoot in Chicago

Story Image

Eddie Cibrian will play a lawyer in the upcoming NBC drama “The Playboy Club.”

As one TV show leaves Chicago, another arrives.

NBC has ordered “The Playboy Club,” a drama set in 1963 Chicago. The pilot was shot locally, and a representative for the show’s studio said the series will be as well.

The news arrived the day after viewers learned Fox canceled the hometown cop drama “The Chicago Code.”

“The Playboy Club” stars Amber Heard (“The Stepfather”) and Jenna Dewan (“Melrose Place”) as bunnies serving the city’s elite at the first of Hugh Hefner’s swanky nightspots. Eddie Cibrian of “CSI: Miami” plays a club regular, a lawyer.

The show was created by Chad Hodge of the short-lived CW fugitive series “Runaway.”
