Некоторое время представительницы породы Ашера (Ashera) возглавляли рейтинги самых дорогих кошек в мире. И это неудивительно – огромные размеры, красивый окрас, элитные родоначальники – дикие кошки. К тому же эти кошки считались гипоаллергенными. Но всего один тест ДНК разрушил красивый миф об уникальном домашнем леопарде.
Как родилась легенда
Порода Ашера была якобы выведена биотехнологической компанией Lifestyle Pets в 2006 году. Родителями гибридной породы были заявлены африканский сервал, азиатская бенгальская кошка и простая домашняя кошка. Имя порода получила в честь финикийской богини Ашеры, прародительницы всего живого. Великолепная порода быстро стала популярной у состоятельных покупателей. Она была объявлена самой крупной из существующих домашних пород. По словам представителей Lifestyle Pets, Ашеры достигали 1 м в длину и весили до 14 кг. Грациозная и элегантная Ашера с четко выраженным леопардовым окрасом стала самой дорогой кошкой в мире. Такой котенок мог стоить до $27 тыс. Но главным достоинством кошки был даже не внешний вид – создатели уверяли, что Ашеры абсолютно гипоаллергенны, несмотря на то, что обладают густой шерстью. На какое-то время компании Lifestyle Pets удалось убедить мир в существовании породы, но постепенно профессиональные заводчики заподозрили неладное. И существование Ашеры поставили под вопрос. Родители котят первого поколения Саванн – это дикий африканский сервал и бенгальская кошка
Развенчание мифа
Первым заинтересовался Ашерой американец Крис Ширк, профессиональный заводчик кошек Саванн. Оказалось, что один из сотрудников Lifestyle Pets покупал кошек у Криса Ширка. Заводчик заподозрил, что Lifestyle Pets просто выдают его Саванн за Ашер. Было проведено расследование, во время которого представительницы породы Ашера прошли тест ДНК. К удивлению общественности и радости добросовестных заводчиков, кошки Ашеры были признаны классическими представительницами Саванн. Миф о существовании редкостной породы был развенчан.
Саванны – не выдумка
Кошки, которых выдавали за Ашер, возглавляют Топ самых дорогих кошек в мире. Саванны могут стоить до $22 тыс. при условии, что они – представители первого поколения; цена на их котят уже будет меньше. Родители котят первого поколения Саванн – это дикий африканский сервал и бенгальская кошка. Именно за диких предков сервалов так ценятся Саванны. Кошки очень крупные (рост – до 60 см в холке, вес – до 15 кг) и внешне похожи на леопардов. Порода считается очень умной, Саванны верные и сильно привыкают к хозяину.

This time around the Swoosh dresses up the unique looking model in your choice of either Beige or Dark Blue.What really helps the Nike Air Footscape Woven stand out fr om the pack is it’s uniquely constructed upper. Both pairs appear to be constructed out of suede, but what really sets it off is the woven paneling placed throughout the upper.

Olivia Palermo is known for her infallible fashion sense — but her beauty IQ is equally high. That’s why the Londonbased cosmetics brand Ciaté tapped her as its guest creative director for 2015.Palermo, who is always photo-ready with a sleek mane and immaculate makeup, created four limited-edition capsule collections based on her favorite colors and finishes. She also had a hand in the elegant white and gold packaging. “The inspiration was these beautiful French gifting boxes that I’ve seen,” says the model, designer and television personality.The first line, available at Sephora this month, consists of three nail lacquers with long-wearing, highgloss “mesh lock” technology. “Hutch” is a classic red named after her mother, Lyn Hutchings, an interior decorator. “I like both traditional and trendy polish shades,” says Palermo. “However, my signature nail-polish color is red. It just looks the best against any outfit.”“Sundays” is a pale pink that’s perfect for every day, while “Nantucket,” one of Palermo’s favorite vacation destinations, is a vibrant coral.In September, Ciaté will unveil even more Palermosanctioned nail shades along with a lipstick, an eye palette and a contouring compact.“I contour my makeup every day,” explains Palermo, a master of the smoky eye. “The key is to find the right brushes and shades for your skin tone. Contouring is easier than most people think; it doesn’t need to be heavy to achieve the looks you want, and my kit is a great two-in-one compact. It makes your makeup bag slightly lighter.”Perfect for dropping into a date-night clutch — or one of fall’s new hand-held bags.

“This happened on the night of Keith Haring’s ‘Party of Life’ [in 1984]. I went to the party with Jean-Michel and Andy Warhol — they were my two sidekicks that night — and I asked Andy if he would tag it for me. Andy immediately wrote his name and my name, and after that Jean tagged it as well.”“Here is a piece [that represents] artists saying, ‘Can I do something for you? Can you wear my work?’ It speaks to the nature of our friendship. This is a representation by [graffiti artist] Revolt of me at the time, or his imaginary version of me.”“Keith Haring . . . actually got down on his knees because of my height and drew this [light bulb character]. I could feel him etching against my back. This is not an image that you see replicated if you were to look at [Haring’s] body of work, so it really speaks to his improvisation and the spirit of wh ere we were at at that particular time on that night.”
