The Catgirl Island Mews & Announcements for June, 2009
It is a lovely time here at Catgirl Island as Haru (Spring) becomes Natsu (Summer) with verdant colorful blooms along the riverwalk, golf courses, rotemburo & residential gardens. These include the Amarylis, Anthurium, Apricot, Azalea, Bird of Paradise, Bougainvillea, Carnations, Ginger, and Heleconia. The Hydrangeas, Hibiscus, Hollyhock, Ilima, Iris, Lilies, Lotus, Magnolia, Peony, Roses and Wisteria also blooming, while those tall Cherry, Dogwood, Magnolias, Palms & Bamboo groves offer shade under the breezy Mid-Atlantic sky, for those who wish to catnap after the hot sizzle action on the sand 'n surf, nya!
As such, there are special floral festivals & workshops that would be good to take a catgirl to see those pretty blossoms. In addition to those festivals, the Summer Solstice, Fathers Day, and various sporting events, June is a most popular month for the weddings, nya. Favored spots for such betrothals in addition to the various churches, temples & shrines include The Kitt Inn ryokan, the 18th FAErway gazebo, Susanowa Beach, the riverwalk bridge in beautiful downtown Purrbank, the reefy grotto by Sheila May's and the scenic courthouse courtyard with the tall giraffe sculptures mingled amongst the towering royal palm trees. nya.
These would be good occasions to take that special catgirl to a fun event and to purrchase a lovely corsage or especially a Tuberose Lei as roses are the June flowers. June also suggests Purrls and the local mermaids can advise you on such purrchases, but if those is too purricey there are alternatives to win a catgirls heart, through her tummy. nya. We suggest a fresh fish sammich or locally caught shrimp platter for lunch, a cran nummyberry drink or the fresh milk for the beverage. Later purrhaps the nilla shake, peachy cobbler slathered in fresh cream, or the extra special baked yams for the dessert. It would be much appurreciated by the affectionate catgirl, nya!
We also have the monthly installment of
The Catgirl Critics' Media Mewsings, in which the Ladies of The Mew review & discuss science fiction, fantasy & horror in the mediums of visual & purrforming arts, literature, games 'n toys. There are occasionally intermews with special guests too! This month's Mew includes reviews of Star Trek movie & other recent movies, our Animazement con report, and several reviews of books, comix, manga, toys, and other neat stuff, and an intermew with special guest
Cheralyn Lambeth! Won't you join the audience too, nya?
Speaking of
Animazement, we had a most wonderful annual time there as mewsual! Mike had a purrimo spot in the artists alley room which was full of so many supurremely talented, friendly folks! There were so many fun things to do, amazing costumes, neat stuff to purrchase, old and new friends, and such a spacious new location. We would like to thank all who made it a marvelous event that was over before we knew it: the hotel & convention center staff, restauranteurs & food cart venders, artists & dealers, special guests, valued customers, and the cordial, kind, smart, hard-working con staff & volunteers who once again put on a wonderful show, that keeps getting bigger but still has warm purrsonable sociable feel!
We are also most appurreciative of the wonderful mew additions to the
Guest Gallery of the Catgirl Island Mewseum of Art! Firstly we are delighted to purrsent another terrific triptych by
Rebecca Brogden N! A triptych is a group of 3 images that can each stand alone, or all fit together to form a bigger unified scene! This is the 2nd such composition she has done for us, depicting our catgirl Police Chief Meryl chatting with friends faerie Atabeyra and mermaid Nyssa, who are members of the Beach Purrtrol before their shift begins! We have 2 versions of thatsplendid scene for you to view, the overall wide image, and a close-up of some of the fine details, nya!
Next we have an awesome photo of a Cheralyn in her purrfect Purrinces Leia slave grrl costume! That metal bikini might be what Jabbah the Hut purrfurs his dancers to wear on Tattooine but it would be stylish for the mid-Atlantic sands of our island beaches too! The Purrincess from Alderaan is not the only celestial siren adorning the gallery, for we are also pleased to show the cosmic cosplay of
Sakky! This is an assortment of "otaku bishojo senshi" costumes made by Sarah and others for her to model.
Continuing the images of cosplay beauty are 3 assortments of photos of glamorous guest
Joei Reed whom we intermewed in the December 2008 edition of The Mew! These displays are of Joei as "The Faerie", "The Genie" and a "Pin Up Girl"! You'll find links to the supurrb hair stylist & photographers' own sites with those displays too, nya! Lastly but certainly not leastly in the Guest gallery this month are the cutest widdle chibi drawings by our friend Bunnii, who helps in the artist alley at the conventions, nya!
We have 4 mewpieces of art by Mike now on display in
Gallery One too! Sakky also appears again in a collaborative photo manipulation by Mike, envisioning her as the Marvel Comics character Natasha Romanova, "The Black Widow"! This image incorporates photos by Sakky and Mike, composited with a digitally paint costume & FX to transforming
Sarah into the Marvelous super heroine! We also have Mike's creamy toned image of
"Cheryl" as the elegant kimono clad catgirl in her purrlor with kitties waking up from the catnap to the delicious aroma of the tasty nummy sushi platter, nya!
There is a mew illustration by Mike depicting "Booth Bunny Kate" in her natural element of the science fiction convention's artists' alley, where she has happily set up her nice booth with the yummy art 'n treats for the purrchase; and finally "TrekKitty" is his pic of a catgirl cosplaying in her Star Trek uniform with phaser set on grillin'! The latest pics will be on the bottom row of that purrticular gallery page. Click on the small 'thumbnail' image to see the full art, nya!
Thank you for surfing to our cordial coastal Carolina community- and we wish y'all plenty of southern hospitality and aloha spirit, nya!
