Greetings from Scout! As if a black cat isn’t already pretty cool on Halloween, I sometimes call him Batcat.
Here he is all dolled up for the holiday in his bat wings.
I especially like the clasp at his throat.
Truth be told, Scout hates wearing costumes. He luckily has a great imagination and I suspect he thinks he’s a bat every time he bares his little fangs.
Happy Halloween!
I forgot to share Scout’s Halloween picture. He hated the hat but was surprisingly cool with the cape. He knows how to rock a great costume with the confidence of a model on a catwalk.
Here’s his other costume. He liked this one better because it didn’t require a hat that covered up his nice ears. He really does make a nice Batcat!
Happy Saturday, friends. Go forth and enjoy this day.
Katherine Hepburn is known for her acting talent, distinctive voice and daring fashion sense. She’s also one of my favorite film stars.
There’s a traveling exhibit dedicated to her fashion and career and it is currently living at the Frick in Pittsburgh.
The exhibit does a nice job using movie posters, photographs and scripts to tell the story of the costumes. Some costumes are from popular films while others are from her early career and films a bit more obscure.
They also have a selection of her famed trousers which she wore long before it was socially acceptable for women to wear pants.
Check out the quote on the wall. I like her spunk.
As an aside, these pieces are on loan from a large collection at Kent State here in Ohio.
It’s available at the Frick in Pittsburgh for a limited times it will wrap up on January 12 and admission is $15. There’s a lot to see at the Frick and I wrote about that a few days ago. Read more here. It’s a wonderful way to pass a day and I would highly recommend a visit to the Frick of you enjoy art and. history.
