Kitten's Log, Caturday 2009

Fulfilling a childhood dream, I picked this little kitten out of a box of free kittens sitting in a grocery cart outside of a grocery store. She was crawling with fleas, full of worms, and covered in urine and feces... her energy level was so low, I thought we might lose her after the stress of her flea bath that first night! Now that she's clean and flea and worm free, she's all attitude and sass and she's doubled in size since we brought her home! It's been really nice to have a little teeny baby around to mother and love... For the time being, it has placated my ticking maternal clock, thank GOD! I am so NOT ready for any little monsters yet, no matter what my body is telling me. Kitty to the rescue!

Here's our little Purr-bot today:

Oh, they just grow up so fast, don't they? Next thing you know, we'll be buying a mini-van.

Date Night

At least once a week my boyfriend and I have Date Night. Sometimes we go out, but mostly we just pop a movie in the DVD player, eat ungodly amounts of food, and snuggle up in bed. Last night we ate Ratatouille from the local organic grocery store and watched Badlands....

Badlands enthralled me. It turned me upside down and shook me. It was as beautiful as it was fu**ed up. It was as enchanting as it was chilling. The dance scene to "Love Is Strange," in the woods below their tree house hideout was wonderfully surreal, sickly sweet, and far too short. I could have watched Martin Sheen's slow herky-jerky hip shake for hours. I loved this movie. Everything about it. It held my attention from beginning to end. Rent it!!!!!!!! (It goes well with Ratatouille, btw.)

Thierry Mugler

Having recently found a Thierry Mugler skirt, but admittedly not knowing much about the designer other than his reputation for futuristic Couture (didn't even know how to pronounce his name), I set out to learn a little more. This NY Times Style video is pretty interesting.

Hmm... a bit campy for me, but at the same time, completely fascinating. The man was a genius, a true visionary who definitely knew how to think outside the box, or perhaps he invented the box. I completely respect and admire his innovative spirit (and obviously Balenciaga and all the other huge fashion houses do to)!
