Black Kitty Learns Manners
This little kitty tried catnip.
This little kitty tried smelt.
But he wanted more and more
So he hunted on the African veldt.
This little kitty stalked mousies.
This little kitty watched peepers.
This kitty's under arrest de housies
And can't be the black kitty grim reaper.

These newly-well behaved black kitties are right here.
Confessions of a Bead-Driven Cat, Part 2
My name is George and I live in the bead room.
I have a sister named Gracie. She helped raise me, back when the Human rescued both of us.
We live apart now. She's single, too, and likes it that way. But I'm a wild and crazy guy. I'm a love machine. You can see it in my eyes.
My mama called those "bedroom eyes." I've got 'em. Oh yeah. And I'm lookin' for love. The object of my affections lives nearby. She comes by every evening to dine on the dish the Human puts out for the outside animals.
The Human was making a Love necklace.
She used rose quartz and pink Peruvian opal.
As I;m sure you're aware, pink opal is a joy-bringing stone. It can help to bring the sweetness and lightness back into life. I need sweetness and lightness.
Especially the lightness.
And rose quartz is called the love stone. It opens the heart chakra to all forms of love: self-love, family love, platonic love, and romantic love. I want the romantic kind.
So while she was making the earrings and dropping beads, which she loves to do, I got busy and nabbed some of those beads for moi. The Love Machine.
I put them in my bed and I slept with them.
The next time my sweet honey comes around, I'll be ready. Hope I'm not too much man for her. Oh, yeah. And here's her sweet picture.
If you're lookin' for love, I recommend the necklace and earrings. Maybe you'll get lucky.

The Most Sincere Pumpkin Patch
There are three things I have learned never to discuss with people: religion, politics and the Great Pumpkin.
~Linus Van Pelt
Linus' goal every year is to create the most sincere pumpkin patch. As he explains it, "Each year, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch that he thinks is the most sincere."
In Bead Land, of course, the most sincere pumpkin patch is created from bits of lampwork and sterling silver and porcelain and pressed glass.
Linus: [to Sally as she walks away with everyone else] Hey, aren't you going to stay to greet the Great Pumpkin? Huh? It won't be long now. If the Great Pumpkin comes, I'll still put in a good word for you!
[realizes what he just said]
Linus: Good grief! I said "if"! I meant, "when" he comes!
Linus: I'm doomed. One little slip like that could cause the Great Pumpkin to pass you by. Oh, Great Pumpkin, where are you?
Don't slip up. The Great Pumpkin is watching this pumpkin patch and YOU!
~Linus Van Pelt
Linus' goal every year is to create the most sincere pumpkin patch. As he explains it, "Each year, the Great Pumpkin rises out of the pumpkin patch that he thinks is the most sincere."
"He's gotta pick this one. He's got to. I don't see how a pumpkin patch can be more sincere than this one. You can look around and there's not a sign of hypocrisy. Nothing but sincerity as far as the eye can see."
And when the Great Beaded Pumpkin sees how sincere this bracelet and earrings set is, with lampwork glass hearts, no less, he will rise up out of it...
...and give beaded gifts and presents to all the good boys and girls of the world.

SATC2 Premieres in London with Hair Extensions, Hats and an Homage
It's baaaaaccck.
Staying true to her SATC London premiere look from 2008, Sarah Jessica Parker wowed the Brits with yet another Alexander McQueen frock topped with a stunner of a Philip Treacy, ummm, hat I suppose you would call it.
While the look she sported in 2008 fell on the wrong side of 'ridiculous' in my opinion, this choice I have to admit is wonderfully whimsical. Perhaps because it's paired with her diamond-studded arm-band homage to the deceased Alexander McQueen, whose untimely death will surely cause a vacuum of envelope pushing in the fashion world (he is the designer responsible for everything Lady Gaga wears to wow these days).
The other leading ladies - probably used to being upstaged at this juncture - didn't disappoint with a stunning Kristin Davis in vintage Norman Norell from Decades and simple diamond studs:
Kim Katrall in vintage Thierry Mugler accessorized with a great Fred Leighton brooch at the waist and that classic Hollywood hair she seems to love of late.
And Cynthia Nixon in teal Narciso Rodriguez with gorgeous vintage diamond teardrop earrings that are hidden by those unfortunate hair extensions (ladies, you're not fooling anyone).
So I'm dying to know if you agree with me. Do you love or hate the SJP hat choice? What do you think of the other looks? Again, Kristin Davis does not disappoint, but I have to give this one to the scene stealer. Thoughts?
