…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,…
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…
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…
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?…
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…
Dating games have come a long way since the days when Chuck Woolery invited mullet-sporting contestants to bump uglies on Love Connection. In Japan, the “dating simulator” video-game craze has raged stronger than a schoolboy’s hormones since the early ’90s. But here in America — where our gaming interests lean…
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 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…
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…
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…
