Moi's Lastest Wild Hair, Fencing!!!

The Feline Citizens are sure their person has completly lost her wits. Because Moi has taken up the noble art of fencing, with swords and such, rather like Zorro or a Musketeer or a pirate. Only much more better.

As such Moi is now a member of the Washington Fencing Academy out of Issaquah, WA, founded by Kevin Mar, an accomplished fencer and vice-chair of the Western Washington Division of the USFA (United States Fencing Association), and Serge Timacheff, official photographer for the International Fencing Federation and chair of the Pacific Northwest Section of the USFA, the WFA is building a reputation in the Pacific NW as a first class training organization.

Along with Senior Coach Eugenio Salas, former Venezuelan world-team epee fencer, and winner of multiple medals in Pan American, South American, Central American/Caribbean Championships, the club is encouraging younger fencers by offering classes thru local parks and recreation departments as well as individual sessions for more advanced fencers.

Jazzy Investments to Spring Into Fall With...

The real question on every fashionista's mind right now is what does one wear to a recession!! Investment dressing is the catch phrase for this fall, and the Feline Citizens gladly offer their own personal favorites:

• Xavier likes the look of a menswear oxford in a high heel. Peep toe or patent leather, wear them with opaque tights with skirts or wide leg denim.
• Little Bit prefers a playful skinny belt with everything (including her considerable middle...).
• Fiona goes for a lightweight sweater coat, layering is always trendy and Fi likes the idea of something playful to carry around.
• Little Anne, always a lady, likes anything with a floral print. Stopping to smell the roses (or tuna treats...) is always one of her favs.
• Jassi J is all for a straight leg trouser, much easier for most of us to pull off and a purrfect complement to her lovely straight tail.
• And Moi? Moi luvs the look of a statement necklace. Whether you dig they grandmama's jewelery box, comb the vintage shops, or go for a modern hi tech piece, all will instantly update any look.

The Cattly Crew really knows how to get more bang for your fashion buck...

Ahh, Spring Is In The Air....

And fall fashion week in New York is in full bloom!! The fall forecast is not one look, messages were more muffled. The mix and match of casual and formal, long and short, tight and loose, were prevailing trends. But where one designer might show a flapper look, the next may have been inspired by the 1970's. Balance is the key for the fall season.

Here are the fall trends hitting the runways:

• Feathers-Less expensive than fur but surprisingly versitle.
• Dressy coats-Always a wise investment.
• Purple-The color was consistent throughout the collections, from Rock & Republic to Michael Kors.
• Tweed-A classic jazzed up with metallics, either with jodhpurs or in an evening gown.
• Strapless-Now considered appropiate year round wear, best with a feather boa?!
