Cat is still really tied up with the Summer Guide. We shot yesterday from 6 p.m. to almost 1 a.m. — a good portion of it in the rain. So for everyone involved, thank you for your patience and good humor. Just a short post today, a photo actually. Cat…
There’s a unique challenge in designing superhero games: How do you make it fun to play a character who, by definition, is vastly more powerful than his opposition? Hulk encounters a purse-snatcher: Hulk smash! Hulk win! Hulk bored. With battles that one-sided, the thrill of being superheroic quickly wanes –…
Cat is out today, working on a photo shoot for Westword’s annual Summer Guide, which comes out on June 7. The entire guide features fashions by local designers and from local shops. You won’t want to miss it. In the meantime, here’s a sage piece of advice from one of…
The perfect pair of jeans, the ones that make your bum look pert and thighs slim, are elusive. A mythical creature, almost. Like a fashion-industry unicorn. Sure, there’s always the promise that if you just pay the three figures for the Sevens or the Paper Denim & Cloth they’ll take…
Some of Denver’s favorite local boutiques made the New York Times Travel section on Sunday. There was a great deal of buzz and excitement when the photographer and reporter were out here a few months ago, and after all the waiting for our fifteen minutes of fame, here’s what the…
While Cat’s on the Vogue kick, here are a few of the ads that just popped. I mean, seriously, don’t we all read fashion mags for the ads, anyway? The words are sort of incidental. (Although, Cat always flips immediately and directly to Vogue’s “Nostalgia” column. The pieces are always…
Cat spent a good portion of last night sitting in a hospital room, waiting for her friend Dominique to pop out her first sprog. Let’s just say it wasn’t easy going, so Cat had plenty of time to finally read the May Vogue. And by read, Cat means flip through…
The other big shocker of Wednesday night was Jaslene taking home the America’s Next Top Model contract. Cat didn’t really have any opinion either way — she was pretty meh on this cycle all together — but odds makers were not favoring the lovely Latina lady. So yay for her!…
Scenes from Rick Owens’s Spring 2007 collection. (Photos by First Look.) Last night’s National Design Awards were a shocker, at least in the fashion category: Rick Owens beat out both Narciso Rodriguez and Phillip Lim for the ten-year-old honor bestowed by the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. (More photos after…
If you’re looking for a laugh, find a kid raised on Grand Theft Auto and introduce him to Pac-Man for the first time. As he stares at you blankly, explain the addictive joy of eating dots and the simplistic genius of the neon-blue maze. When he sneers, “That’s it? It’s…
Wednesday, May 16 JSG Designer Showhouse The only thing Cat likes as much as clothes porn is real estate porn, and right now there’s some serious flesh on display over at 2900 Inca Street. For the 32nd year, the Junior Symphony Guild has teamed up with some of the best…
CU-Denver student Sophie T. made Flypaper, the Bluefly.com blog, today. Apparently she was spotted at the Auraria Campus Spring Fling, and the editors there liked her personal style. Glad that Denver’s hotties are getting some props, but Cat could have done without this bit of snark (though it’s not as…
Everyone, welcome Cat’s special visitor for the day. She has hair issues. No, seriously, real ones. Help a girl out… Any person darker than a peach crayon can tell you that its hard trying to find a place in Colorado to get your hair done. Finding a salon that specializes…
While Kate Moss’s collection for Topshop was getting mocked off the international stage last week, Vera Wang was presenting her new collection exclusively for Kohl’s, under the moniker Very Vera. Yes, Cat did say Kohl’s…
Babylon Floral spiced up the evening with its wearable floral arrangements. Slideshow Cat crawled out from under her dive-bar rock on Saturday night to check out the 5 Degrees Warmer fashion show at, you guessed it, 5 Degrees. Now, this is the first time Cat has been out in LoDo…
This is the capstone of Kate’s collection. Collective disappointment ensues. Cat’s apparently been napping this week, as she missed the big launch of Kate Moss’s new line for British Topshop. Yep, the girl who defines heroin chic – even after rehab for coke – now has her own collection. She…
Greg Kessler, from Style.com This was a sad, sad week for fashion. On Monday, May 8, Isabella Blow died from a drug overdose, and with her passed one of the most interesting, eccentric, fabulous personalities in all of fashion. Her hats alone were cause for celebration. She discovered Alexander McQueen…
There was a time in my life when I might have actually enjoyed Pocket Pool a little bit. Back when I was twelve, giving myself migraines from staring at scrambled cable porn, the notion of a game where I could “win” pictures of girls in their underwear would’ve seemed pretty…
Thursday, May 10 Girls Night Out at Loft 22 Grab the girls and head over to this newish boutique in Larimer Square. They’re offering wine and chocolate, eye makeovers, chair massages, prizes, gift certificates and a Lizzie Sarah Jewelry trunk show. Loft 22 1410 Larimer Street 5 to 7:30 p.m…
The Chingaso Gear skull. After a spin through the local boutiques last weekend, Cat found a constant theme: skulls adorning everything. Skull boots, skull belt buckles, skull hoodies, skull camis, skull skirts, skulls, skulls, skulls. Welcome to the Day of the Dead, Denver – if only a few years late…
No, this isn’t Cat — but it’s a delightfully kitchy coffee table. Cat and Cheese Bikini spent the weekend window shopping, scouting for interesting home and fashion items for Westword’s annual Summer Guide. Cat was on Tennyson and Tejon, Larimer Square, South Pearl and South Gaylord and South Broadway, and…
Slideshow When Cat arrived in the office this morning, a sign of the coming apocalypse was sitting on her chair. In a couriered envelope — one that screams, “I’m important, the world could be ending, look at me” — was a press kit. Not just any press kit, but one…
