Tiffany (album)

Tiffany is the self-titled eponymous debut studio album by American recording pop singer Tiffany. Prior to signing a recording contract with MCA records in 1987; Darwish had begun working with manager/producer George Tobin several years earlier, possibly with some of the tracks recorded as early when she was 12 years old in 1984. Initially, "Danny" was her first single released from her self-titled studio album; however the single failed to chart. To support the album and create a buzz for herself, Tiffany embarked on a shopping mall tour entitled “The Beautiful You: Celebrating the Good Life Shopping Mall Tour ‘87”. Tiffany’s tour included the singer performing in shopping malls across the United States; at first to small audiences but by the end to much larger crowds as her popularity grew.

As her popularity grew during her tour radio stations begin to play Tiffany’s cover version of Tommy James & the Shondells hit "I Think We're Alone Now". The song was quickly released as the album’s second single; Darwish’s cover of "I Think We’re Alone Now" became the singer’s first No. 1 hit both in the United States and United Kingdom. The album’s follow-up single "Could've Been" became the singer’s second No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and her first on the Adult Contemporary chart. With the help of those two singles, the album climbed to No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Pop Albums chart; replacing Michael Jackson’s Bad. At the age of 16 years; Tiffany became the youngest female artist to earn a No.1 album and also the youngest to have two back-to-back No.1 singles. Tiffany’s rendition of the Beatles’ "I Saw Her Standing There" retitled "I Saw Him Standing There" provided a final hit from the album. The album was certified quadruple platinum by Recording Industry Association of America.

Asian Semi-longhair

The Asian Semi-Longhair is a cat breed similar to the Asian Shorthair except it has semi-long fur. The breed is also known by the name Tiffanie or Tiffany. It is recognized in any of the Asian Shorthair or Burmese colors and patterns. Like the Asian Shorthair, the breed was developed in Britain and is not currently recognized by any U.S. Registries. It has full recognition in the GCCF. It is related to, and in some registries distinct from, the Chantilly-Tiffany or Foreign Longhair, the North American variant.

History

The Tiffanie was developed in the 1980s in the United Kingdom as a longhaired version of the Asian Shorthair. The breed origins can be traced back to matings between a longhaired cat and a Burmese. They are very similar to Burmillas.

Temperament

The Tiffany is a gentle, active and curious breed. Cats of this breed are attached to their owners, but do not always get along with other cats, since they can be quite jealous. The Asian Semi-longhair is spirited and expects its keeper to dedicate a lot of time to it. Asian Semi-longhairs can be very vocal and are not recommended for small apartments.
