Rethinking Life

Spokeschicklet for the Fashion Show
is wearing one of Resa’s gowns

good evening
what a wonderful Halloween Show
we have just seen
congratulations to everyone involved
and now
what you have all been waiting for
THE FABULOUS HALLOWEEN FASHION SHOW
I think you’re in for a bit of surprise this year
it’s going to be purrfect

first up on the catwalk
is DALE

DALE
a lovely Calico
is wearing a one of a kind
floor length body hugging
strapless gown
in black gray tan and white
keeping with her calico nature
the gown flares where her legs begin
showing her true colors
with a brown speckled insert
made of soft satin
a gold band of fabric is pulled tight
across the top of the gown
and held in place with a golden
pull-through circle
the hem is covered in a wide band
of rough glittering gold grosgrain fabric
she’s wearing a lovely hat
that hides one of her kitty ears
and her arms are covered with bangles
so everyone will know she’s in the vicinity
bands of fabric are tied around her arm as well
and let’s not ignore
the sapphire and ruby rings on her paws
a beautiful calico
who would be welcome anywhere

next on the catwalk
is Gigi
a fabulous Tuxedo cat
dressed in a gorgeous
black and white floor length
sleeveless
Tuxedo Gown
the full skirt is white satin
with black inserts running half way down
the sides
a soft full skirt
makes for easy sprinting
climbing and fighting
the sleeveless jacket top
is white
with black lapels and buttons
black opera glove are fingerless
so her kitty claws are free for shredding
in case she wants to use them
and she usually wants to use them
setting off this beautiful gown
is a short silk matching scarf
tied around her neck
and she’s not hiding her ears
or her tail
which helps her balance
while running
or attacking
her satin covered shoes
are red and match her lipstick
and claws perfectly
a Tuxedo kitty worth watching out for
if you like your blood on the inside
of your body

next on the catwalk
is Beth
a fantastic looking tabby cat
in a tight
strapless
floor length tabby colored
satin gown
of shimmering browns and olive
the gown is cut on the bias
and hugs her body
which allows her to be
fast and agile
she makes no sound as she walks
holding out the beautiful black and gray
tabby stripped silk fabric
that falls from each side of her amazing kitty gown
she is wearing elbow length black gloves
with her claws covered
gloves that can easily be removed
if necessary
the black bow in her hair
mimics her kitty ears
and black glasses outline her green cat eyes
a true beauty
this tabby gets attention
wherever she goes

Holly hits the catwalk
in a stunning pink gray and champagne colored
strapless gown
one look and no one
would would ever doubt her powerful
cat nature
her gown
fits like a second skin
and is tight to the knees
where a wide band of silk holds
the skirt’s beautiful ending flare in place
gray silk falls gracefully from the back of her skirt
to the floor
Holly’s kitty ears peek out
and her pink and champagne colored opera gloves
cover her claws
at least for the moment
covering her claws
helps her control her wild side
and as she walks back up the catwalk
she holds her champagne colored tail
in one gloved paw
you should know
that when this kitty walks into a room
everyone knows she’s there

and last but never least
we have the magical seamstress herself
Resa
a gorgeous gray kitty
slinks onto the catwalk
wearing a pale gray floor length sheath
that flares slightly at the bottom
and pools around her feet
the front of her skirt is split to her knees
where a beautiful inset of gray embroidered fabric
immediately catches one’s eye
the neckline is off the shoulder
edged with the tiniest
bit of ribbon
a ribbon
that holds together a short cape
covering her back and arms
the cape’s lining is dark gray
setting off a beautiful contrast
with the pale gray of the gown
and cape itself
Resa is gloveless
showing that she’s ready for anything
and she’s wearing black cat eye glasses
her red claws match her lipstick
and her kitten heels are a light gray satin
that match her gown
Resa is the kind of cat that everyone notices
dainty and aloof
with a bit of a dark kitty side
one should never take for granted

***

the audience was on it’s feet
wing flaps and chirps where loud
and seemingly
never ending
everyone loved the show
and the Sewing Committee
was waiting to talk with Resa
about different patterns and stitches
everyone mingled and talked about
the Fashion Show
over another one of Holly’s Treat Tables

this FABULOUS HALLOWEEN FASHION SHOW
is dedicated to all the cats in the world
we love them
each and every single one
and want them all to have loving homes
where they are adored
have soft laps to sleep on
and are kept safe

Our thanks to the wonderful models
and to the amazing RESA
for another FABULOUS FASHION SHOW
She did it again
