Sorry Cat was incommunicado yesterday, but she had a good excuse: She rescued a stray pit bull off the streets of Denver and is now trying to find him a home. Driving past her office, Cat found this dog tied up to a parking lot fence. She stopped to check…
So Cat seems to have a shoe fetish this week. All she wants to look at or read about are shoes. Maybe it’s time to buy a Lotto ticket, because the Wall Street Journal rewarded Cat’s singlemindedness with an article about women and their heels. The general gist: What shoes…
Cat got sucked into watching (well, TiVoing and then watching) the Fashionista Diaries, the new reality show that premiered on SoapNet last night (August 1). The marketing and advertising for the show had been over the top — every post on Fashionista yesterday was encased in a FD box –…
This week you’ll start seeing ads for Vera Wang’s line of clothes for Kohl’s. That means the time for her fantasy fashion is nigh: On September 9, Kohl’s stores will start carrying Very Vera, which will feature everything from shoes and handbags to dresses and coats. There will even be…
The concept behind All-Pro Football 2K8 is simply wonderful: Imagine a fantasy football league where you draft from a pool not of this season’s top players, but of the greatest NFL players of all time: Joe Montana, John Elway, Dick Butkus, Jerry Rice, Marcus Allen, Mike Ditka, and more than…
Cat was going to write about all the fall shoes she wants, but she got completely distracted by cowboy boots. Cheese Bikini had sent her the link to Old Gringo Boots a few months ago, and she just got around to kicking the dust up on the site. These are…
Cat just discovered that one of her favorite boot companies, Lucchese, has a “State Boot” collection. Sadly, they only have eighteen of our territories represented, and none of the three states Cat lays claim to — Colorado, New York and Mississippi — are included. It’s too bad that all fifty…
Cat’s in the mood to shop for shoes, and right now she’s obsessed with this lovely pair from Emilio Pucci. Of course, they’re $648 on Zappos. Sigh. Although, Cat would probably wear them every day, so if we consider price per wear, they’re actually quite affordable… (still in Cat’s dreams)…
With fall clothes coming into stores, it’s time for one of Cat’s favorite rituals of the season: watching the Thomas Crown Affair. Rene Russo is just so damned hot in that movie; she’s electrifying to watch. Every year Cat rents the movie to remind herself of how she’d like to…

Michael Falco for The New York Times This apartment cost $420,000. Interesting piece in the New York Times about several couples and what they gave up in order to buy tiny one- and two-bedroom condos in the City. No shopping, no fashion, no cigarettes, no going out. It’s an austere…
And here’s yet another reason to love the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center: Styling the Modern: Fine Art Meets Fashion May 10 – July 6, 2008 The CSFAC is such a cultural treasure that many people in Denver are not familiar with. During Colorado’s real art heyday — 30s, 40s…
No, this one is not a joke. The New York Times reported on Thursday that Louis Vuitton has added Mikhail S. Gorbachev to its spokesmodel roster. That’s right, the last president of the Soviet Union — as photographed by Annie Leibovitz — is joining a very sexy Scarlett Johansson for…
Need a laugh on this Monday morning. Head over to Jezebel, where the editors have created a delightful prank for those of us who read both Harper’s and Harper’s Bazaar. The mash up includes J.Simp on the cover and a the Harper’s Index, which includes this little dig: “Average price…
Wonder what the Sex and the City girls will look like when their new movie comes out? TVLand has the answer. Let’s just say, it’s a cruel, cruel world. One populated by Bea Arthur as Carrie. (via Flypaper)…
Photos via V Magazine; Christy Turlington’s before and after is above, while Doutzen Kroes’s is below. Ever wonder what models look like before hair and makeup? V Magazine has a great feature showing before shots — when they came in the door — and what they looked like after running…
Photos by Taylor Sullivan The Corner Office is so fucking cool. Like so cool you can’t call it cool, because that’s uncool. So when this week’s What to Wear Friday honoree, Kymberly Robertson, suggested that we meet at the martini bar at the new Curtis Hotel in Denver’s Theater District,…
FirstView From 3.1 Phillip Lim’s Fall 2007 collection. Cat’s a little behind, but here are the ten finalists for the CFDA / Vogue Fashion Fund. The winner scores $200,000, mentorship with some big designer, and a spread in Vogue. (via Fashionista) Last year, the prize was taken home by Travota,…
Guess whose celebrity feet belong to these Crocs. Shouldn’t these stars know better — or at least have stylists who know better? Crocs? Seriously? Sure, it may be a home-grown Colorado company, but that doesn’t keep Crocs from being the fashion equivilent of e.Boli (or the imperius curse, if you…
With two of Denver’s biggest fashion happenings falling late last week and over the weekend, Cat had her bowl full of spicy summer styles to see. First Cat headed down to the Platte River Valley for the second installment in the Riverfront Park Fashion Series last Thursday, July 19. With…
