Cydney Payton Challenge: Tricia Hoke

Cydney Payton is the city’s reigning art matriarch. And how lucky we are, because Payton’s no stodgy old maven. No, the executive director of the Museum of Contemporary Art/Denver loves Manolo Blahniks and red lipstick, wishes she could meet Miuccia Prada, is listening to TV on the Radio, and even…

Cuddle Therapy

What goes on in the minds of taggers? What are they trying to tell us with their hastily scrawled missives across our double garage doors? Perhaps a lack of coherent message and bad penmanship are not the only problems plaguing Denver’s tagbangers. More legible postings on a garage door in…

On September 9, 1999, a Denver SWAT team burst through the door of 3738 High Street. Three minutes after the cops entered, Ismael Mena was dead, the victim of eight bullets and a flawed search warrant. Officers later revealed that they’d targeted the wrong house in what they believed was…

Spa-Rama

It’s Spa Week — and just in time! Bikini-and-shorts season is just around the corner, and my pale, blah skin doesn’t want anything to do with that until a good massage, facial and scrub have been had. Normally that would set me back at least $300, but with national Spa…

The hot pool looking over Gold Lake. Cat got away on Saturday and headed up to Gold Lake Mountain Resort and Spa, about 45 minutes outside of Boulder. The intent was to take city-slicker Stacy up to the hills for some R&R with a hike, horse-back ride massage and brunch…

Show Off

Cat is out and about today with a friend who is in town from New York. Regulars to The Cat’s Pajamas will recognize her as “Stacy,” the commenter who consistently harasses Cat about her taste in shoes. While she’s in town, there’s one event we’ll definitely hit: SEED, Fashion Denver’s…

Nicole Popovich Guess who made Cat’s personal fave from the challenge. Judging the Tamarac Square Fashion Project was a nerve-shattering hell ride, as the Westword music editor likes to say.
