The very friendly Qadesh the tiger with Dan Dunlop, late 90s - the late Qadesh was so tame she visited senior's homes and people could pet her, sit on her and some even slept in the same bed with her! At now-closed Blondie's Adult Entertainment in London, Ontario. The show was marvelous. Jane the dancer that worked with Qadesh played flute and violin, but just before the show started, Dan leaned over and told me the last thing I wanted to hear: the other guy we were with flirted with guys if he started drinking. The audience was mostly bikers and military guys from CFB London, and this was still the 90s, and I actually had to rescue the same guy later on in another town from an angry redneck (to be more accurate his red neck and face literally turned purple after he saw my pal simulate anal intercourse with another man on the dance floor) who was trying to push him outside to the alley, presumably to beat the f*** out of him, Fortunately he showed more restraint that night and we made it out alive after a great show.
I met Jane and Qadesh in Vancouver in the 90's Her husband was there as well. I believe Ken Magoski was a cousin to Jane. Ken Magoski and I were in the fifth wheel trailer behind the club Jane was preforming at. That's when I had my photo taken sitting beside Qadesh.

ReplyDeleteIt was in the early 90s in a small town in BC called Cranbrook. I went backstage which was the parking lot to visit with the owner and Quadesh. The owner was sitting on his tailgate of his truck Quadesh was sitting on the ground in front of us. All the sudden out of nowhere Quadesh went into a sphinx sitting mode and lunged herself at me throwing both paws on each shoulder... Her beautiful powerful face inches away from mine. The majestic power the Royal respect... in an instant. Wow. She went back to sitting down and quickly came up two more times. Those two times I wrap my arms around her and gave her a hug. The owner asked me if I was wearing cologne. That was my Stetson years. He replied that Quadesh.....was in heat. I will always remember my experience with this tiger.
ReplyDeleteR.I.P. Quadesh.
