My initial thought was Sphynx as well.  However, I believe they are a minority breed, pioneered in Russia, called "Peterbald". http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://static.gotpetsonline.com/pictures-gallery/cat-pictures-breeders-kittens-rescue/peterbald-pictures-breeders-kittens-rescue/pictures/peterbald-0015.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.gotpetsonline.com/pictures/gallery/cats/alphabetically/peterbalds/peterbald-0015/&usg=__GbcVlrbPfpNfhMZ9L_MBloPHFB0=&h=360&w=325&sz=36&hl=en&start=14&zoom=1&tbnid=h2nsyr50jshaHM:&tbnh=121&tbnw=109&ei=9VGYTpWwK-rV0QGB2syiBA&prev=/search%3Fq%3DPeterbald%2Bcat%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Den-us%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1 (http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://static.gotpetsonline.com/pictures-gallery/cat-pictures-breeders-kittens-rescue/peterbald-pictures-breeders-kittens-rescue/pictures/peterbald-0015.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.gotpetsonline.com/pictures/gallery/cats/alphabetically/peterbalds/peterbald-0015/&usg=__GbcVlrbPfpNfhMZ9L_MBloPHFB0=&h=360&w=325&sz=36&hl=en&start=14&zoom=1&tbnid=h2nsyr50jshaHM:&tbnh=121&tbnw=109&ei=9VGYTpWwK-rV0QGB2syiBA&prev=/search%3Fq%3DPeterbald%2Bcat%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Den-us%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1) They are essentially hairless (or nearly so) Orientals.  The head type is different, the PDs (TICA breed abbreviation) don't have the heavy wrinkling that the Sphynx have, and the PDs have a longer head (Oriental) than the Sphynx, which look like Devon Rex with no hair. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://cats.mediarift.com/files/photo/0/3-sphynx-kittens.jpg&imgrefurl=http://cats.mediarift.com/photo/view/286&usg=__l4AhzoyIA1UF8dn1jO04ruLdhKw=&h=777&w=1000&sz=74&hl=en&start=13&zoom=1&tbnid=kLyEdaohpk0ZpM:&tbnh=116&tbnw=149&ei=tlOYTvPNFurs0gHZ-4nNBA&prev=/search%3Fq%3DSphynx%2Bcat%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Den-us%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1 (http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://cats.mediarift.com/files/photo/0/3-sphynx-kittens.jpg&imgrefurl=http://cats.mediarift.com/photo/view/286&usg=__l4AhzoyIA1UF8dn1jO04ruLdhKw=&h=777&w=1000&sz=74&hl=en&start=13&zoom=1&tbnid=kLyEdaohpk0ZpM:&tbnh=116&tbnw=149&ei=tlOYTvPNFurs0gHZ-4nNBA&prev=/search%3Fq%3DSphynx%2Bcat%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Den-us%26tbm%3Disch&um=1&itbs=1)
Of course, I could be wrong, I'm not an Allbreed Judge, though I had considered it years ago  ;D

Thanks Carol, and yes, wrinkles crossed my mind, too.
