these are incredible.

love the sketchy graphics, they end up quite charming.

plus damp proof tiger is a killer band name.

wild copilot.

so real. and i'm so jealous.

i wouldn't even complain about the cheetah hair.

i'm also pretty sure this makes your car faster.

we've talked about josh keyes before,

but he didn't have a three-headed tiger then...

now i have an extremely strong irrational desire for a real one.

...start breeding, mad scientists.

i'm gonna start making my saddle.

i'm totally gonna be the skinny he-man.

mutated at hi-fructose.

fire > curiosity.

before you get too excited, it's just a concept.

but a beautifully executed one.

the cat shape is great, and the slow reveal of a skeleton is even better.

new zealand, i know we've never met, but i love you.

murder burger is a real and wonderful place.

they sell meat and things that taste good with meat.

it's official...

you may have seen this dress at anthropologie in the spring. 

perhaps you passed on it the first time around because, 

well, there's a quite a bit of pink.

{that was my experience upon first blush.}

it was only after i saw a woman pick it up

raise the hanger above her eye level

and pull the corner out to reveal the full skirt a bit more

that a few fabulous things were exposed to me:

1. pockets.

as a person who never knows what to do with her hands

{put on hips? sassy. cross arms? bored. flailing/talking with them? hey, i'm italian.}

i appreciate dresses and skirts with pockets.

even had them put in my wedding dress.

2. cats.

not only do i like the idea of a dress with cats 

represented in watercolor painting fashion...

these look like my two cats, jermaine {mae mae} and tito.

 mae mae is a tortie. tito is an orange tiger.

here's a close up since they look like blobs in the above photo.

so i bought it.

by way of my actions
i feel like it's official. i'm a crazy old cat lady.

i only thought twice about buying it for about one second

and then i questioned myself for questioning it.

now, who am i to judge the woman

wearing a mock turtleneck sweatshirt 

adorned with a screen printed persian?

granted, this is a lovely dress

as opposed to an ill fitting sweat suit...

and i get tons of compliments

when i wear it

{i don't point out the cats anymore...

most people just think it's real summery and don't notice the cats}

but to be frank

i bought it because of the cats.

I'M A CAT LADY!

she likes to purr.

braids and whiskers go nicely don't you think?

come closer and she'll tell you more.

i love lucy

you may have seen lucy on dreamcats. 

{which is curated by this lovely and this lovely}

though, you may have seen her at one blue wren.

{which is a delightful visual playground chronicled by ashley
...you probably already knew that}

if you're like me, you stumbled upon her 

while you were getting lost 

in ash's inspiring flickr stream.

regardless, here she is again
in all of her kitteh glory.
making us melty.
{i'm about to clap my hands like a fool}

to be frank, i can't get enough of her.

the way her expressions are caputred...

i.could.die.

she seems to share my love

for occasional chairs and

she's wearing my favorite colors

for crying out loud.
don't you LOVE lucy?

come to find out, lucy is in a kitty cat contest at whiskas.com. 

you should check it out if you have a moment.

tito tuesday

let's celebrate tuesdays with tito. she cute. she fluffy. and she sweet.

she has beautiful kitty lips. and you can get in real close and kiss her if you like

{i like}.

she will pat you with her big spofty paws and let you hold her hand

{like a date}.

she will hold yours too...

sometimes she does have ulterior motives. rest assured, she doesn't break the skin and all bunny kicks are sans nails {she is able to demonstrate an amazing amount of restraint}.

aw. tito tuesday!

here kitty kitty kitty

i love kitty cats. i can't help it. especially when they are peeky and soft. and loving, of course. even if they do everything on their own terms. it's hard for me to see a kitty that doesn't make me squinch and squee with love for them. this kitty love lamp. lamp warm.
