There’s one similarity between Ghost Rider and most video-game movie tie-ins: Get too close to either, and your ass will probably get burned. Though it stars goofy Nic Cage and Sam Elliott sound-alikes, Ghost Rider claims only to be an offshoot of this year’s soul-sucking blockbuster — not a direct…
The profiles continue of the twelve designers selected to complete in the Tamarac Square Fashion Project. The winner scores two tickets to New York Fashion Week this fall — which would better than sex for most of the competitors. Name: Kandyce Hudson Company name: Kandyce Kreations and the KMH8 Custom…
Meet our second victim in the Tamarac Square Fashion Project rundown. Name: Stephanie Ohnmacht Years designing: Sewing since I was seven. Bio: At seven I was given a beat-up sewing machine, scrap fabric and a license to sew anything I could dream of. Since my sisters on the farm were…
Shawn Reinoehl In preparation for the March 28 kick off of the Tamarac Square Fashion Project, The Cat’s Pajamas got in touch with each of the finalists and asked them a series of questions about themselves, their views on fashion and random other must-knows (red chili or green chile; Ritter…
Fashions by Gino Velardi. Cat didn’t think it was possible, but she is judged out. She has nothing snide or snarky left to say. At least for a few days. It wasn’t Fashion Week, a trip to Coyote Ugly or even her brother’s upcoming nuptials that finally wore her down…
Whether it’s slaying dragons in Zelda, zapping aliens in Halo, or inserting foot A into ass B in Virtua Fighter, the best games are the ones that offer some level of wish fulfillment. Grand Theft Auto added “Help yourself to a car” and “Drive it on the sidewalk” to the…
Cat may have found a new obsession: the Hyundai QarmaQ. The concept car, which debuted this week at the Geneva Motor Show, is just a prototype overseas, but it looks super sleek, and the skin is made from recycled plastic. Plus, it has a diesel engine in it, so you…
From the newest iPod to the Olsen twins’ collective waistline, the world loves all things mini. The Nintendo Wii embraces this digestible format once again for Wii Play, a collection of nine easy-to-play mini-games that comes bundled with a free Wii controller. However, the result is like a Happy Meal:…
If you’ve been slacking, then it’s time to get your hands sewing and styling because March 7 is the deadline to enter Tamarac Square’s Fashion Project. The four-week Project Runway-style competion will feature a dozen or so designers each trying to win tickets to fall Fashion Week in New York,…
For the aging video-gamer, nothing’s as sorely missed as the corner arcade. Unlike the family-friendly Dance Dance Revolution discos you see today, classic arcades were seedy little dives tucked into strip malls — dark caves thick with the musty bouquet of cheap carpet and adolescent stench. They were also thick…
If you missed Lynne Bruning’s fashion show at Artopia, fear not. We have video! Yes, video shot by Vija Rogozina and featuring the extravaganza of black light, pasties, hot pants and fur coats. Meow!…
Deb Henriksen at Equillibrium just pinged and said that there are photos of the Artopia fashion show over here. It’s a great collection of behind the scenes stuff and actual runway images for both Fabric Lab and Equillibrium. More to come later. Getting ready at Vain for the Equillibrium fashion…
This the top Cat paired with Calvin Klein jeans and cowboy boots for her Artopia outfit. If you missed Artopia this year, you missed one hell of a party. At least up on the roof. Except for presenting our annual MasterMind Awards — $4,000 checks to five of the city’s…
So you’ve beaten Zelda and can hurl a 90 mph fastball in Wii Sports without shattering your fifty-inch plasma. Now what? It’s time to explore the rest of the “channels” — some of them included with your Wii, and most free to download. Like cable TV, Nintendo’s offerings range from…
Cat wishes she had this Tufi Duek dress for the Oscar party. This is a big week for Denver fashion. First, there’s Westword’s annual Artopia party, celebrating the arts in Denver. As part of that, The Cat’s Pajamas has been working on three different local fashion shows: The Fabric Lab…
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…
Getty Images Duckie Brown’s line comes out fighting. At least that’s what Cat thinks those yellow gloves are for. Getty Images Grunge grows up at Duckie Brown? Cat thought Friday’s Fashion Week shows were going to be good for men, with John Bartlett, Perry Ellis and Duckie Brown all on…
