OwnYourC.com and Summer Fashion

Here are a few additional fashion images from the Summer Guide, which comes out this Thursday, June 7. Anna Newell is ready to serve in the OwnYourC.com ice-cream truck, wearing a “Japanese Tea Garden” dress by Mona Lucero. Pretty sweet — especially because the poor girl is being photographed outside…

The Horndribbles Are Coming…to a T-Shirt Near You!

Cat is so stoked. Inordinately excited, actually. The Horndribbles — Lucas Richards’s and Sarah Cassidy’s weird plushy monsters you’ve seen displayed at WaterCourse, the Fabric Lab, Andenken, Fakture and other venues around town — are doing a show at Fancy Tiger this weekend. And they’re presenting T-shirts with the visages…

Gold-Dipped Pine Cones the New “It” Item? Fashionista Thinks So.

Fashionista is reporting today that the new pine cone earrings and necklace by Catherine Weitzman are sending “shivers down our spine.” Lately, you can’t walk down the street without seeing antlers – whether in jewelry, screen-printed t-shirts, or bar decorations. We think they might be going the way of skulls,…

Denver Run-Off Election Ballots Due Today

For those of us who live in Denver City Council districts 3, 7 and 8, and haven’t yet turned in our run-off election ballots, they’re due tomorrow (Tuesday, June 5). But don’t go to your normal drop-off location, it’s not likely to be open and accepting. Here’s the list of…

Ven Uno, Ven Todos a Los Comicos

Slide show At this point, if you don’t know about Los Comicos Super Hilariosos, all I can say is, you better ask somebody. What’s that you say? You were asking me that exact question right now? Geez, I’m sorry. I’ll stop being such a prick and just tell you that…

ANTM’s Jaslene Makes Her Debut…

…and the verdict seems to be ewwww. Cat liked her just fine on the show (she was meh in general on this cycle), but someone over at Seventeen really hates this girl. Not only is the cover atrocious, check out the “natural beauty” photo. The hollow eyes, the mussy hair,…

State of the (Fashion) Union

Victoria Beckham (via WWD). Women’s Wear Daily has an interesting piece on the direction of the fashion industry and its insatiable appetite for all things celebrity. It’s a good discussion of the coming third wave where Hollywood owns fashion, not the other way around. Don’t miss Lights, Camera, Action: Showbiz…

NASCAR Brings Us…Shoes

Yep, that bastion of high style has entered the shoe market. They’re not as awful as Cat would have expected, but they’re not fun one-time shoes you buy because of the Wal-Mart price point, either. Seriously, these boots are still over $200. If Cat’s going to spend more than $200…

Sgt. Pepper on Trial

A key line from the title cut of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band reads, “It was twenty years ago today/Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play” — but you’d never know it from the Denver dailies. Both the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Post have published articles commemorating…

Linkalicious: What Cat’s Reading Now

Donna Karan is Blogging at Huffington Post – on Health Care! Adventures in Bathing Suit Shopping (via the New York Times) Tom Ford on Not Wearing Underwear (via New York Magazine) Anna Wintour’s Would-Be Killer Invokes the Devil Wears Prada Defense (via the New York Times) Black Models Too Hippy?…

Kate Bailey Takes Off on Bubble Puppy

Here are a few more outtakes from Summer Guide. This time they’re of the lovely Kate Bailey with “Bubble Puppy,” the art car created by Sean Guerrero. She’s wearing an original design by Lynne Bruning…

The Final Word From Cannes

A still from We Own the Night. Last weekend, as Jerry Bruckheimer’s pirates were once again storming the international box office, the Cannes Film Festival bestowed its two top prizes on a gut-wrenching Romanian movie about backroom abortion and a plaintive Japanese drama about a sad old man who wants…

David Holthouse Turns Up in Rolling Stone

Former Westword writer David Holthouse (he of the famous “Stalking the Bogeyman” saga) made his debut in Rolling Stone this week (the one with Johnny Depp and Keith Richards on the cover), writing about Shirley Q. Liquor, a gay white man who puts on blackface and performs as a boozing…

On the Road with One Hot Rod

Here’s another outtake from the upcoming Summer Guide. We’ve got Brooke Crawford (of Frontside Five) in a custom silk ruched dress by Equillibrium Clothing, riding in a custom hot rod by Aaron Hoffmeyer…

Thursday, May 31 Crave Spring Into Summer Party It’s a bargain-shopping extravaganza – with cocktails! Plus, splurge a little and snag a mini mani/pedis, belly dancing lessons, facials, chair massage and more. It’s good to be a girl. Parkside Mansion 1859 York Street 5 to 9 p.m. $25 (buy tickets…

The Cohen Brothers at Cannes

Tommy Lee Jones in No Country For Old Men. The Coen brothers’ pulpy, ultimately pretentious neo-Western No Country For Old Men screened early in the Cannes Film Festival and by the end had maintained its standing as the most widely approved Yankee feature to bow here since Pulp Fiction (though…

4 Months Wins at Cannes

4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days. The 60th Cannes Film Festival was a generous one — and so was its jury, bestowing the Palme d’Or on the least heralded, most critically acclaimed movie in an unusually strong competition, namely Romanian director Cristian Mungiu’s 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2…

Potential Fashions and $535,000 Worth of Car

The Summer Guide is finally over, done, gone to the printer. It will be in your hot hands on June 7. In the meantime, Cat will be posting some outtakes from the fashion photo shoot. Today, behold Lana Russell in a custom dress by her sister, Tricia Hoke, and Kymberly…

An Interview with Abel Ferrara at Cannes

A still from Abel Ferrara’s Go Go Tales. “Whaddya love about it so much?” Abel Ferrara — director of the strip-club-set Go Go Tales, my favorite film at Cannes — is interviewing the interviewer. Well, I say, it’s consistent with the Ferrara oeuvre — King of New York, Bad Lieutenant,…

More News from Cannes: The Best of 2007

A still from the Cohen brother’s No Country for Old Men. Sometimes the competition is actually competitive. No one disputes that the official section at the 60th Cannes Film Festival has been the strongest in recent memory. The heavy favorites are the Coen brothers’ No Country For Old Men; Julian…

Sarah Jessica Parker is “Bitten,” and Versace at Costco

The new Sarah Jessica Parker line “Bitten,” which Cat’s been asked about, debuts next week – at Steve & Barry’s. Cat had never heard of this fine mall retailer, so she went to find our nearest outpost, assuming it would be in Chicago or Austin. No, my fine friends, there…

Perfect Petal’s Chain Chandelier

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…
