One year ago today, Mr. Miggins joined our family and transformed our home from doom and gloom to a house full of joy and purrs. We adopted Miggins within days of Miss Darcheen’s passing and Mr. Marmar’s passing. It’s been a wonderful year for the rescued Persian… he escaped …

Philadelphian illustrator Christina Hess is my newest favorite artist because she understands the cats place…. as BOSS. It’s already a wonder why cats don’t run the world, as it is. I mean, Mr. Miggins, Miss Coco, Miss Mimi and Mrs. Minky sure do run our household. They meow and stalk until they …

Right now, I’m trying to secure $1,300 to make a Mr. Marmar (RIP, my sweets) doll. So far, I have $32 and 46 pennies and a half-eaten bar of snickers. I have a long way to go, I know. Anywho, thanks to a Japanese company called Clone Factory, you can …

It is my pleasure to announce the introduction of the fantastical Mr. Miggins to the family! Mr. Miggins came into our life shortly after the passing of Miss Darcheen and Mr. Marmar. It was really by chance, because I was not planning on getting another cat for at least …

No, that’s not Bruce Jenner’s face, but a sculpture made of recycled dolls and plastic toy parts by artist Freya Jobbins. Yes, it totally looks freaky and familiar if you live in Beverly Hills because almost every lady over 35 looks like this mess in those parts.. pretty unfortch, if you …

A sweet creature with a swishy tail and David Bowie eyes sashayed into my life when I was 19. I named this kitten Mr. Marmar (‘Marmar’ means marble in Farsi) and promised a life of luxury even if it means I’d have to wear clothes from Sal’s boutique to make …

I feel like I ‘ve written about this before, not sure- I’m getting old and my memory is pretty bad as of late. I almost gave Mr. Marmar his medication twice one day, but thankfully my son reminded me that I already gave it to him. My bad. Sorry Mr. …

Designer Rey Pador, recent graduate of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp, knows how to throw together a look that even Gareth Pugh would give a side-eye to. But he totally redeems himself with that furry jump suit in the first photo. It’s like a giant Mr. Marmar minus …

These are definitely a bit more complicated than paper planes! Artist Lisa Rodden intricately cuts paper into fascinating motifs for you and me to ogle at. It’s pretty precise in the photo and I bet in person it’s even more impressive. Check out her other works on her website. My favorite has …
