Allie's Fashion Faux Paws

The Fashionable Feline knows how the camera loves the Demure Glance:
Eyes cast to one side, lost in thought.

Extra points if you add a paw curl.

Allie: I guess it's true what they say ....

Dead rosemary plants really are slimming.

Not that I'm condoning the death of any rosemary plants, mind you.

My Fashion Faux Paws posts never do anything to harm the environment.

Trust me, these things were already very dead.

(and yes, it snowed here yesterday. *heavy sigh*)

Allie: The Fashionable Feline uses the light to its best effect.
And everyone knows the Golden Hour provides the best lighting. Am I right, ladies?

... of course, the Golden Hour is best observed outside, Mother.

*cue pointed -- and longsuffering -- look*

Allie: The Fashionable Feline always take time to look her best.

Eyes, nose ...

Ears ...

and toes.

Yes, Fashionable Felines are civilized.
Unlike some other utterly uncouth Tonkinese I won't name.

... *cue slobbery, slurpy noises* ...

Faraday: Wait, uhhh. Allie, were you throwing me some shade just nows?

No comment, dood. No comment.

Allie: The Fashionable Feline knows exactly how to get the most from a photo shoot.

Note the slight head tilt with wide eyes: The Ingenue Look.

And of course, everyone  knows posing next to a catnip plant is very slimming.

Of course, the catnip plant could be larger, Mother. Not that I question your gardening skills .... *delicate cough*

Allie: Before it gets too cold for window whiffs.

Perish the thought, young lady!

The Fashionable Feline always knows when, where and how to use her winning ways to achieve her goals.

Allie: Why no, Mother, I'm not looking down at you because of what you wear.

No matter how hideou--

Dreadfu--

Ah ... different it might be.

(I hear it takes all kinds ....)

Allie: The Fashionable Feline selects her accessories with care. 

Feathers must be of the finest quality, never secondhand.

Color and design are critical.

And, of course, always placed at the proper angle for maximum effect.

The Fashionable Feline is always prepared ...

... to help straighten mussed hair.

Friday's Fashion Faux Paws

Allie: In lieu of a Fashion Faux Paws this month, I wish to expand your mind with an artful composition.

I call this ...

"Girlcat Contemplating Box."

Friday's Fashion Faux Paws

Boycats needn't attempt.

And what exactly do you think you're looking at? Hmmmm?

Fashion Faux Paws: Box Day

Allie: Friends, Kitties, Countrymen.

This month's Fashion Faux Paws is quite simple, really. After all...it's all about boxes. A Girlcat of Means simply musn't pass up the opportunity to celebrate an occasion as auspicious as International Box Day.

So without further ado, I present to you:

Fashionable Box Poses 101
The Dangle.

This Expert Level position poises one paw elegantly on the Precipice.

Practice this with care, kitties. And consider using a Spotter during your first few attempts.

The Debutante Toe-Curl.  

This requires subtlety, and the slightest flex of ones claws to achieve just the right "edge of box" effect.

The toe-curl is demure and unassuming, paws together. Hussies need not attempt.

This concludes this month's Faux Paws Lecture.

Have a Safe and Responsible 

International Box Day.

Friday's Fashion Faux Paws

Allie:  The Fashionable Feline always flosses.

Preferably with a bird. A live one.

(Sadly, I had to make do with this plastic one, but we all must suffer for our art on occasion.)

Allie: The Fashionable Feline understands the need to stay fit and trim.
(Especially after this year's holiday season...!)

Arm reaches are good for toning the biceps and triceps. Flabby arms are soooo passé.

And I have always found a cushy mouse is a great motivator for a set of intense abdominal crunches. Don't you?

Slimmingly yours,
Allie

Allie: Be sure to remind your humans that Ugly Sweater Day was in December.

*look of disgust*

You're not seriously planning to go out in public looking like that, Mother.
...Mother?

Oh, Fashion Police! We have an emergency on our paws...!
