Slideshow When Cat arrived in the office this morning, a sign of the coming apocalypse was sitting on her chair. In a couriered envelope — one that screams, “I’m important, the world could be ending, look at me” — was a press kit. Not just any press kit, but one…
The lovely Brandi Shigley and Cobly Bemis. The city’s fashionistas hit the town last night for Transitions: A Fashion Benefit for United Artists’ Coalition for Kids. Potential Fashions, Equillibrium Clothing, The Fabric Lab, Grae and Assemblage all sent looks down the runway. Brandi Shigley from FashionDenver.com was there, as was…
After starring in 20 years’ worth of video games, the Super Mario Brothers have been spread mighty thin. The mustachioed heroes’ latest outing, however, takes this concept to a literal extreme. Paradoxically, Super Paper Mario is like every Mario game you’ve ever played — and like nothing you’ve seen before…
Shoe sale. Those are Cat’s two favorite words in the English language. And on Saturday, May 5, Strut at 3877 Tennyson Street is celebrating its birthday with 15 percent off and champagne. Woohoo! Owner Elyse Burja always has so many cute options that Cat can stock up and not have…

(Naturally, nobody believes her.) The snarky…
Museum of Contemorary Art/Denver director and curator Cydney Payton made her final choices in the Cydney Payton Design Challenge, in which eight designers from the Tamarac Square Fashion Project sketched her a “museum-opening oufit” (appropriate since the new MCA building opens this fall).

A game based on 300 has no excuse not to kick ass. Just picture yourself leading 300 Greeks (that’s 1,800 abs) against the Persian empire’s massive armies, led by the evil, pierced, and preening King Xerxes. Since your Spartans are the deadliest soldiers in the world, the Persians’ only chance…

We’ve all seen Super Mario eat copious amounts of mushrooms, but have you ever considered the care that goes into preparing such delicacies? In Cooking Mama: Cook Off for the Wii, Wolfgang Puck wannabes are thrust into the kitchen — alongside “Mama,” the game’s titular chef — where they’ll chop,…

Today’s contestant in the Cydney Payton Design Challenge is Gino Velardi, who is best known around town for his stunning gowns. Seriously, he has this feathered babydoll number that Cat might just kill for…but that’s another story, as he’s got something else in mind for the director and curator of…
