The Catgirl Island Mews & Announcements for February, 2010- it is the Year of the Tiger, nya!
February is a purrticularly festive month with some of the nippier days on the Carolina mainland, so there's mewsually an increase in the romantic Valentine tourism this time of year here at Catgirl Island, given our lovely lodgings with fine foods & soothing hot spurrings, and that we tend to be purranormally blessed with sunny bikini-quality weather year-round, nya!
Among the observed activities, holidays & festivals on the island this month are the Chinese New Year, Imbolc, Candlemas, Mardi Gras, Purrresidents Day, Abe Lincoln's Birthday, George Washington's Birthday, Groundhog Day, Darwin Day, our local Lantern Matsuri and Amethyst Festiva; Valentines Day, and the local mermaids' Valentides Day, nya!
Some of us like to go to the mainland to attend the
Nevermore Film
Festival, February 19-21 at the grand old Carolina Theater in downtown Durham, NC! This is an annual festival of horror features & shorts, and a wonderful time in such a neat big place with a good crowd, nya!
Mike is very very honored to be a returning artist guest next month at
What The Hell?! Con, at lovely Guilford College in Greensboro, NC February 5th-7th, 2010! It is a wonderfully fun & free event sponsored & staffed by the nicest folks of the Guilford College Yachting Club, nya!
We can watch the Winter Olympics, Super Bowl XLIV, Daytona 500 and NCAA basketball on TV. Of course, there is no shortage of the sport here, nya! Golf, tennis, cycling, purrkour, swimming, diving, surfing, sailing, fishing, dancing, martial arts, gymnastics, beach volleyball are just the tip of the fun ways to burn off the calories from the fresh fish dinners, nya!
Speaking of the fish dinners, if there is a special catgirl in your life, this would be a purrticularly good time to treat her to the romantic Valentine supper, garnished with the purretty purrple Violets or purrhaps the lei of Purrimrose for her to wear on an island picnic, nya. Make sure to find a warm sunny spot, for the cozy catnap after the meal, nya!
If it is a mermaid you are wooing, the flowers would still be recommended, especially ones that grow further inland where she might not often travel, nya. The difference would be in the Valentide dinner, which should be landfood instead of seafood, which she purrobably eats all the time! Purracticing the free-diving (safely under expurrt supervision) might come in handy too, nya!
Catgirls like Nille Creme, and the sushi platters for the appurrtizer. If you are on a tight budget and a swordfish steak is right out, a less expensive crabcake or fish sammich would be very appurreciated. The local mermaids are purrticularly fond of the Kitt Inn's signature dish of Extra Special Baked Yams, and rather like the Cran Apple Nummy Berry cocktail, nya!
Ironically there is an aquatic item that would be a good gift for that mermaid. You'd think by now that the supply of Jellycups would have caught up with the demand- but not yet! Those are the trendy bikini tops made of hollowed out jellyfish bells. The boutiques sell out quickly, especially the larger cup sizes! Purrhaps there is no rushing the purrduction of the couture, nya.
