Kitten Love XXXII

Top Givenchy Haute Couture by Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 1997
Bottom Gustav Klimt

They asked me how I knew my true love was true. I of course replied, something here inside cannot be denied. When your heart's on fire, you must realize: Smoke gets in your eyes.

Die Umarmung

Some might remember the infamous google game. An ongoing online experiment of randomness. This time I googled the German word Umarmung, to be translated as embrace. I love 90s sepia kitsch.

Kitten Love XXXI

Top Danny Hoggins by Lonny Spence
Bottom Enigma Bone by William T. Wiley

A beautiful pairing. And probably the best use of leopard on a guy I've seen so far. Everything is perfect. The hat. The earring. And the coat. Of course. I'm ready for marriage.

Kitten Love XXIX

Top Joseph-Benoît Suvée, Milo Of Croton, 1763
Bottom Nicolai Abildgaard, The Wounded Philoctetes, 1775

The subtle appearance of leopard lends a rural charme and notion of bestial fight to its wearer. An effective demonstration of masculinity and survival. The conclusion: wearing leopard is a sign of strength and power.

Ghetto Kitten

Astrid Andersen Graduate Collection

Rude boys in leopard print. Baseball jackets and animal print cycling shorts. As her name implies, Astrid Andersen continues the legacy of two literates: Astrid Lindgren and Hans Christian Andersen. Telling a wonderful fairytale.

Hmm, so the decision is made: I do need leopard print bed sheets. And Brad Pitt.

Kitten Love XXVII

It's been a while. But as Kitten Love is the only stable love, we worship the rise of leopard print with a new contribution.
