who was regularly featured at the Baton Show Lounge in Chicago, Illinois. &nbsp; Cherine moved to Chicago in 1975 from Honolulu, Hawaii. &nbsp;She was known for her performances of Grace Jones, Eartha Kitt and many others. &nbsp;In the 1984 Miss Continental pageant she amazed the audience by turning into a live chetah by the end of her talent. &nbsp;Truly her talent and beauty was admired by many. &nbsp;Cherine sadly passed away on October 29, 2010 and leaving a huge void to all who knew her.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"text-decoration:
