Cat got got a little distracted this week. But here’s a glimpse at the best and worst of the Monday Fashion Week shows. More of the same trends: volume, bubble skirt, high-waisted pants and sack dresses. Don’t say you haven’t been warned. For a full look at the collections, visit…
Lately, the Nintendo DS has become a virtual Monster.com. You can play a defense attorney (Phoenix Wright), surgeon (Trauma Center), and even a cook (Cooking Mama). Now, thanks to Hotel Dusk: Room 215, you can add private eye to that list. But don’t expect the sexy detective work of Chinatown…
Explaining the appeal of the WarioWare series is like trying to describe a fever dream: It doesn’t make sense unless experienced. Nevertheless, here goes: Mario’s bizarro-universe twin, the greedy Wario, has invented over 200 absurd micro-games in a scheme to get rich and corner the videogame market. Quantity is job…
It was more of the same at New York Fashion Week. More ’80s, more blousy, formless shifts, more middle finger to the female form. Cat doesn’t expect everything to be all va-va-va voom, but unless you’re a pre-pubescent girl or starve yourself into looking like one, most of the fall…
Getty Images The pickings were slim for “good” options today, but Cat likes this Sass & Bide blouse. Or dress. Or tunic. Cat’s not really sure. Getty Images THE GOOD: Alexandre Herchcovitch offers this interesting take on the tweed coat. The shape and detail are fresh and flattering. It’s apparent…

Anyone who played games back in the olden days (i.e., the late ’80s) knows they used to be a lot tougher. Cartridges back then subscribed to the “Oh, you want some of this?” school of game design. They made you gnash your teeth, throw your controller, and bellow four-letter words…
Getting Groovy in 2001: A Space Odyssey. The Cat’s Pajamas had a great time last Friday night at Design After Dark, the benefit for the Denver Art Museum. The food was tasty, the booze was boozy and the music was dancy. All of the architects did an amazing job creating…
For most of us, the closest we get to practicing medicine is telling a depressed co-worker, “Somebody’s got a case of the Mondays.” But that doesn’t stop us from living vicariously through TV doctors. Now, with Trauma Center: Second Opinion, you can take your surgical dreams one step further. Thanks…
The Cat’s Pajamas is taking a much-needed stretch after a mid-winter cat nap. You see, Cat really hates the cold. Sure, the first day is all sledding and hot chocolate and weeee!, but by week six, nobody looks cute in stocking caps and knitted scarves. Everyone just looks disheveled and…
Despite Link’s green tunic and Peter Pan hat, he remains Nintendo’s most respected badass.

Imagine two game producers rushing down the hall. One wants to pitch a WW2 game, the other a sci-fi shooter. They round a corner, crash into each other, and their papers go flying everywhere — and in one of those great “You got chocolate in my peanut butter!” moments, Resistance:…
Aside from that new ball, NBA Live 07 may be the worst product to bear the league’s name this year. The new basketball game from Electronic Arts is so glitchy that scores of buyers launched an online petition demanding a do-over. Luckily for the rest of us, consumers have a…
Nintendo has achieved the impossible: My 50-year-old, non-gaming father wants a Wii for Christmas. Either I’ve been whisked to Bizarro World, or The House That Mario Built is on to something big. With the release of its oddly monikered next-gen system, Nintendo may just have revolutionized the way America will…
On Saturday, The Cat’s Pajamas took her mom out for a day of camera shopping. That is, we embarked on the Holiday Boutique Crawl — hosted by eighteen northwest Denver shops — armed only with a camera (not credit cards) in search of the best that our city has to…
Sarah Bahl had her Cherry Creek coming out last weekend, debuting her new line at Anastasia Collection, the just-opened boutique at 201 Milwaukee.

A Special Cat’s Pajamas Report from Susan Froyd, Westword’s own Night & Day editor — and shoe aficionado. Clark’s Indigo Mademoiselle, $93.95 As a former San Franciscan, I always thought that I could safely say I’d left my heart there. In my bedazzled mind, there’s no city on earth more…
