Yes, these wigs are for your kitty, or perhaps your little doggie too. Kitty Wigs is the brainchild of Julie Jackson, (with help from Boone, her “Siamese partner in crime”), and has lead to the book Glamourpuss: The Enchanting World of Kitty Wigs, filled with adorable kitty wig photography, shot by Jill Johnson:
I loved this album artwork since the very first time I saw it, which is what actually tuned me into The Pierces, whose music is just as wonderful and quirky as the art behind it.
The Angry Little Girls series really makes me laugh! Sometimes it just sums everything up, doesn’t it? Created by Lela Lee, Angry Little Girls consist of Angry Kim (my personal fave, pictured above), Crazy Maria, Disenchanted Deborah, Fresh Wanda, and Gloomy Xyla.

Tada’s Revolution (named after a tattered old teddy bear) is a former engineer’s art project that involves drawing, crocheting, and sewing to create miniature worlds full of cute creatures.
We love this crock-pot chili recipe, made with white beans…especially on a rainy day! It’s simple to make:
INGREDIENTS
1lb Great Northern beans, soaked
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans (4 oz each) green chilies
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 lbs skinless, boneless chicken breasts
2 chicken bullion cubes combined with 14 1/2 oz of water
or
1 can (14 1/2 oz) reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup water
DIRECTIONS:
Boil 6-8 cups of water in a medium pan and add the beans. Boil at a rapid boil for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and cover. Let the beans soak for 1 hour, then drain and discard the water. Meanwhile, cut the chicken into 1 inch pieces. Place everything in the slow cooker and stir it up. Cover and cook on LOW for 10 hours or HIGH for 6 hours. Bon Appétit!
