Marilyn the dog is blond and fluffy -- the one who most looks like her owner, in Paris's opinion. She was purchased in Korea. Most of her dogs are from Japan. "When you buy dogs in America, they're from puppy mills and they always get sick," she explains in the commanding tone of a person who knows -- somewhat surprising given her reputation and public persona. In private, Paris only rarely employs her well-known baby-sexpot voice. ("I talk like that when I'm nervous," she will later say.) In person, she has a range of vocal modes that serves as a barometer of sorts, measuring her moods and intentions, moving like a slide whistle from Betty Boop to the elongated syllables of the Valley girl to monied boarding-school lockjaw to bossy eldest cousin playing teacher in a mock classroom full of younger relatives on a landed estate. Absent from the household but not forgotten is Tinkerbell, Paris's famous Chihuahua, credited by some with touching off the international fad of mini-accessory dogs. Tink lives now with Paris's parents, Kathy and Rick Hilton, who have been married more than thirty years and live about fifteen minutes down the mountain. Though Tink is still very involved in Paris Hilton Entertainment -- as the face of Paris's internationally distributed line of on sale tiffany necklaces doggie fashions and products -- "Tinkerbell can't be here," Paris explains. "She's so jealous of all these dogs. But she comes over all the time and stays with me."

Looking out from behind the mesh are two lion-headed rabbits, Thumper and Bambi. With them in the enclosure is Paris's latest purchase, Brigitte Bardot, a teacup-sized minibunny she picked up recently in France during a hellacious ten days that found her flying from L. A. to New York to Paris to L. A. to Rio to L. A. to Las Vegas. For on sale tiffany rings someone sofamous for being famous, she seems to work quite a lot. "I'm like a machine," she says. "People ask, 'Are you a superhero? Because it's crazy how much you work.' I've been doing it since I'm fifteen. I love to have fun and travel and make money doing it. Who wouldn't?"

On one of her stops, Paris made a commercial for the Brazilian beer Devassa. It featured Paris in a tight black dress taking a beer out of a refrigerator and running the cold can sensuously along her body. Without showing a bit of skin, the commercial managed to offend that notoriously libidinous country's advertising watchdog, which charged that the commercial reduced tiffany violated advertising codes by using sex to sell an alcoholic beverage. And by treating Paris as a sex object. Loves it, she Tweets to her 1.7 million followers.
