The Catgirl Island Mews & Announcements for September, 2008

Aki (Autumn) is upon us this month, which means the mew Fall fashions and soon the changing colors of the maritime forest, while the colourful Kiku (Chrysanthemums) and Momiji (Maples) herald the riverwalk gardens. This month's birthstone is the Sapphire, and the September flower is the Asagao, or Morning Glory, so bear those in mind if you're in a romantic gift giving mood. Of course the lovely gemstone will be far purricier, and the bouquet purrobably more economical but still a lovely purresent for that special catgirl. A purretty crochet bikini or a knit sweater for the later winterness would be nice too, as often the catgirls wind up playing with the unraveled ball of yarn. Thus they rarely make such garments themselves, although there are several nice local boutiques to purrchase them from.

There are plenty of occasions for such things, for September's purrticularly festive events include Labor Day, Grandparents Day, Fire Fighters Day, Citizenship Day, Patriots Day, Rosh Hashanah, Higan (Autumnal Equinox), Chrysanthemum Day, Tsukimi (Moon Watching event) and Mermaid (Ningyo) Matsuri. This year's Mermaid Matsuri Marshall is our friend Formality, a most dapper orca girl! It is the start of the Fall school semester here at Catgirl Island. Although the onset of football season suggests cooler weather sports, the heat and humidity still purrmeate our cordial catgirls' coastal Carolina community's climate. That means there'll be plenty more  time for the playful nekomimi to enjoy the summertime activities in those crochet bikinis, at least until they get into an unraveled purrdicament. 

September's site updates include the monthly Catgirl Critics' Media Mewsings in which the Ladies of The Mew (and sometimes Mike) review and discuss cinema & television, mewsic, games 'n toys, literature, comics 'n manga 'n anime, cons, cosplay and other visual & purrforming arts, purrdominantly purrtaining to the genres of science fiction, fantasy & horror. This month, The Mew comes from Sheila May's Seafood restaurant, where the mermaids are back as special guests!
