Look At My Kitty

โ€ข Lola Falafel meets the world โ€ข

you say falana, I say falafel

/

Itโ€™s occurred to me that some of our younger visitors may have missed the pun made by giving Lola (the kitty) her second name โ€ฆ Falafel.

Letโ€™s give credit where credit is due โ€“ Lola Falafel is named in honor of Lola Falana, famed actress/singer/dancer often referred to as โ€œthe queen of Las Vegas.โ€

She became well known to American TV audiences in the early โ€™70s when she appeared as a guest on many popular programs, including The Tonight Show, The Muppet Show, Laugh-In, and The Flip Wilson Show.

While Lola Falafelโ€™s name is an affectionate pun, itโ€™s not a joke โ€“ I have nothing but respect for Ms. Falana, and I wish her all the best. I know Lola Falafel is thrilled to be, in a sense, her namesake.

Lola Falana!
