Welcome back to the spotted carpet, everyone! As your host I’d like to take a moment to mention that at the end of our preshow event the awards will be given out and if you are one of the most honored winners, please email me with your address- your custom certificate will be mailed to your home or that of your agent!
I missed this gorgeous apron from Sharon and invited her to share it and tell us who her Spirit animal is: When my daughter was little, we used to read a lot of Winnie the Pooh and one day my husband said ‘You’re just like Rabbit’. Unfortunately I think he’s right! I would prefer if my spirit animal was something way cooler like a jaguar. 
Sew Ruth! Welcome to the show!
Having you here is an honor- would you like to answer a question for us? What does animal print mean to you? How does it make you feel and how did this challenge move or change your destiny?
Trash; trashy and traumatized. You may be hearing from my lawyers…
Um, Ok. How about another? Would you do this again next year? Do you have a plan?
Currently I’m in re-hab and taking it one day at a time.
Ok, well, thanks. Enjoy the open bar and free gift bag……Can I get someone else up to the podium….please? Oh, thank goodnees! Someone is treating this formal event with the respect it deserves!I love this top!! 
Welcome Anna! Care to share a thought about your stash? If your stash were a tree, what kind would it be? An unusually fast growing grafted peach tree – one graft for knits (let’s call those white peaches) the other for cottons/linens (yellow peaches). Why peach? The peach season is in full swing at the moment here in Australia and I can’t get enough of them – kind of like fabric really! 
Yoohoo!!! Beajay! Over here- behind Jane! No, no, you can’t ignore us!!!
Got a minute? We’d like to get your opinion- Posen of Korrs? Is this food?? Or maybe beers? I guess I am incriminating myself again!
Do you think Di Caprio would have been nominated if his character had worn more snake skin? I refuse to answer on the grounds it might incriminate me.
Lizzy, Hi, Welcome! Are you shopping differently now that you have been on safari?
I don’t run in terror from the animal print section. Does that count? I think the print sections should welcome you with open arms and sheathed claws now!
Oh, look! The girls from Giambattista Valli have some couture beasties to show us: 
Alright, until tomorrow- as Jane Russell said, “No bows, Honey, just 8 bars and off!”

It just felt right- it has frog closures, so its an animal hybrid!

I love to see what others have done with animal prints. Since I don’t wear brown well, I don’t even try. I might look good in a silver fox, but I don’t kneed it. So I will be content to watch!

You are a masterful Master of Ceremonies and look pretty damn good in your leopard shirt waister too. Thanks for all the effort and time organising this event has taken – you should go lie down in a darkened room for a little while. What’s next?
