In Cat Bought a Zoo, a single 6-year-old tabby is going through a difficult time in his life. His kitty modeling career hits a snag when he loses a big job to an up-and-coming younger kitty. Tired and stressed, he quits, cashes out his life savings and buys a piece of property on the outskirts of town, which he decides to turn into a petting zoo/spa.
Highly recommended if you’re looking for a good family movie. It actually got an 85% on Rottentomatoes. 🙂
In other news, happy Sunday, friend. How’s it going over there? I’m sorry I’ve been so incommunicado in the comments lately. I’m trying to wrap up a couple of time-consuming projects, and I’m almost there. I have been reading everything, though, even when I haven’t had much time to reply.
No Makeup Monster sightings this week, so we’re safe for now, but you can bet they’re out there… Plotting… Waiting for their chance to strike.
It’s only a matter of time. It’s always only a matter of time.

Hi, Sunny. Fantastic styling in that post. I love the tropical feel, your outfits (did you do outfit changes for the post!?), your makeup, the flower in your hair in that one shot and your earrings in the other. Really fun post to read.

Thanks for the link love, Karen 🙂 I hope you get your hands on the RMK fairy palette. Its divine! 😀
Karen says
Hi, Paris B. How’s it going? I hope you had a nice weekend (isn’t it already Monday there?).
BTW, I love what you’ve been doing lately with your pictures. I’ve always liked them, but they’re getting better by the day. I love the way you’ve been composing them with different backgrounds and labels, and they’re very crisp and sharp.
Have a great week.
Paris B says
Thank you so much Karen! Still practicing as I go and drawing inspiration from the best! 😉 Yes we’re halfway through Monday already (thank goodness!) and I’m quite ready for the day to be over. Hope you have a good week ahead 🙂
Nina says
The StarWars x Typography vid is made of all sorts of awesome!
Hi Karen, here’s to a great week ahead!
Karen says
I had a feeling you’d enjoy that, especially the pic of Yoda.
OMG — did I ever tell you about the time George Lucas was behind me in line at the movies?!
