i just love everything about this entergetic, resourceful timely perfectly crafted force of grace and creativity that explodes through the medias as a naturally packaged female, appealing to everyone as a friend neighbor school-mate pal and to every womans envy, a complement, as their representative of the species that turns every mans head because this professionally schooled artist makes us proud that we all are a part of her, we know cate. cate was and is their woman/lover/friend they know her they deeply love her and always will, we love cate just like the mothers who gave us birth,our mum who raised and educated us, and sisters that slapped us around. we feel a warmth because cate makes us feel good about everything that can be good in live, and she embodies everything that ever will be good and beautiful in our world and makes us all want to be the best we can be in that world.
