Doll History: Catwalk Kitties

Tagline: “Sleek, chic, and très magnifique, these fabulous felines do everything with poise and style! So get ready to strike a pose and strut your stuff, because every trend starts on the catwalk…”

Company Lanard

Debuted: 2005-2006

Height: 11 inches/28 cm

History

Catwalk Kitties is a series of anthropomorphic feline fashion dolls who work as models at the Catwalk Kitties modeling agency in Paris, France. Unlike other toys, there was a focus on making sure there was as little advertising as possible-only appearing in a few toy catalogs. The series designer stated that the dolls were designed with the aim of being profitable to Lanard with minimal advertisement:

“With the doll market being incredibly competitive, the goal was to come up with a new idea for fashion dolls that would instantly appeal to girls and be profitable to Lanard without advertising.   I really felt that the only way to compete against Barbie and Bratz, who were both heavily advertised, was to have a new hybrid type of fashion doll.  The idea for the line came from "hands on" manipulations, drawing, painting and markering, on a naked fashion doll body with an enlarged head. I brought a couple of trend tear sheets and  a porcelain cat/ fashion/ collectible statue along with the rough model into a brainstorm  to pitch the idea.  I then worked with and creatively directed the talented group of artists & designers at Lanard to sketch and formalize all of the feline fashions and details that are uniquely the Catwalk Kitties.  Traditional fashion and hair grooming play patterns were used by wrapping the world of modeling around the dolls.”

According to the catwalk kitties wiki: While complete dolls are rare on the secondhand market, It is common to find unused factory stock heads on sites like Aliexpress and Ebay. Many collectors purchase these heads and put them on the bodies of other dolls such as Monster High and Barbie.

Characters:

Anika- a light gray cat with purple hair streaks.

Callie- a calico cat with orange and gray hair. 

Chase- a pink cat with magenta hair streaks. 

Jet- a black cat with white hair streaks. 

Minx- a red point Siamese cat with blonde hair.

Purrl- a white cat with magenta hair streaks.

Sienna- a tortoiseshell cat with auburn hair.

Sushi- a gray and white tabby with purple hair streaks.

Toffee- a yellow tabby with blonde hair.

Topaz- a light gray and white tabby with blue hair streaks.

Saiguu was just walking around Inazuma City trying to remember something until she spotted someone...Unique individual at least from her point of view since they weren't from Inazuma

Saiguu decides to follow the stranger as she's intrigued, it's up to the person she is following to determine if a Yokai following them is a good or bad sign...Not that she cares.

Saiguu can be heard chuckling mischievously behind them.

-@kitsune-saiguu

the inventor's trip to inazuma isn't for nothing — he has his interest dead-set on the art of blacksmithing and the archon's knowledge about machinery, rumors about the two halves of a god, the shogun and the one who carries the burden of the archon's true position.

the shogun, and the archon behind it's creation, are two identities within a puppet. mace is nothing but curious — there's a saying around teyvat; curiosity kills the cat, and in this case it's similar. mace is an anomaly, someone with no name in inazuma who would surely have the shogun slicing him in half, thus his curiosity kills him, the cat.

mace is just too stubborn to do so; kill him? as if! he'll simply replace a limb or two, organs he can replace with the right wires, gears and bolts if he doesn't grow them back.

when he hears impish giggling behind him, he snaps his head around. the tall woman catches him off guard, her hair is white like snow, her ears perked up and smile devilish — she wears robes he once heard chioriya boutique's owner discuss with one of her workers, an outfit showcasing her devotion to the electro archon.

"...may i help you?" his face displeased, he stares up at the stranger who was tailing him. just what did a shrine maiden want, from him, no less?

[kerubimcrepin]

Exploring the dofus-la-serie.com website - Part 1

The website is kind of broken, which makes me quite sad. Though that's life for you.

Character Profiles:

I am not translating this because as fans of this franchise, you probably know all of these words. (Well, except gouvernante. That can mean "housekeeper". He isn't calling her their governor. Though she should be.)

I am not even going to mention that Kerubim is here twice. Sometimes, a second Kerubim appears in a random spot among the characters while going to this page or refreshing it. Just another one fun thing about this being an eleven-year-old website for a series that has been over for years.

I wonder if, in-universe, he's the one who drew on their portraits, or if it was Joris's doing, influenced by Kerubim's stories?

Love how Atcham isn't mentioned, but his pandawa drinking buddy is. Also, that neither of them have commentary by him.

The character pages themselves have unique character art:

As well as short descriptions of the characters.

Because the entire site is saved on web archive, and probably won't go down anytime soon, (despite its buggy state,) and these not offering any new, groundbreaking information — I will not be posting most of them here, save for the main ones:

Joris:

Kerubim:

Also, a note: this calls him a "papa poule", which I decided to google, to hilarious results:

Thank you, dofus-la-serie.com... for everything. I already noticed, in the past posts, that it's actually weird and off-putting that Joris has no friends, and that it might be Kerubim's fault, but we never really see him make parenting decisions (COUGH-COUGH-COUGH besides the decision to constantly endanger and neglect Joris but EHHH I spent 50+ posts talking about that in the show liveblogs) in the series due to its slice of life format.

I'm glad to know that at least one canonical source describes him as overprotective, bearing, and anxious parent, (but not to a helicopter-parent level). That's actually quite valuable!

Simone:

Pupuce:

Multiple notes here:

The description does not seem to use explicitly masculine pronouns for Pupuce, who, as we know from Joris, is a girl. This is just an error on the Google Translate's part.

PUPUCE IS A CAT KIN/CAT FURRY????????????

You know what, actually considering Joris himself is a cat furry, but in a much more subtle, subdued way, her being his pet is a match made in heaven. Two creatures who wish they could be cats, breaking bread and drinking tea together. Love wins.

The broken "find the object" minigame:

One can only be thankful that it's not more broken — because 2013 was prime time for flash games, and yet, this game does not seem to use flash technologies.

When you click anywhere on the screen itself, instead of the UI, the game, and the page itself freezes. It's a shame — I bet the game was fun, back when it worked.

I had taken it upon myself to download and archive the music from the minigame, so, here it is:

Using archive.org I was able to get to the next page, the link to which is usually invisible and also unclickable in the minigame:

Kerubim's Collection (link included so you don't have to suffer like I did)

It's quite a long list, with many items, but I am not Ronik, this show's biggest, and probably, by now, only fan, if I don't read all of this and bring the most interesting parts to you.

Firstly, thankfully, all of these are, for the most part lore-less. Just little blurbs of the episodes those appear in, whether you can find them in-game, and a hint as to where to find this in the broken minigame. But there are some gems:

Kerubim doesn't like Joris's photography hobby (...I sure do wonder why!)

HE'S A SORE LOSER ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED IN THE NOFFOUB EPISODE. LMAO. "Deceitful Osamodas"....

"I'm cautious" "Simone whyyy did you put it here??" How these two people hadn't killed Joris fr is still beyond me.

He's genuinely insane.

wylde flowers: reasons to play it

wylde flowers is a witchy life/farming sim that is, in my opinion, severely underrated. why should you play this? let me convince you!

fully voice acted dialogue - the game has a team of talented, award winning actors, so every single line of speech is narrated in the game with a voice that fits every character, making for entertaining cutscenes and adding charm to everyday conversations.

no inventory limitations - you can pick up everything you find without having to worry about chests or inventory management, and it is all automatically organised into categories like produce or quest items, something i found really helpful to decrease pressure and stress.

exciting story with tense and heartwarming moments - the storyline is a key part of the game, which is controlled by your character, tara wylde, doing quests and tasks set by the town of fairhaven's inhabitants!

30+ diverse characters each with their own worries, ambitions and personalities, with 7 romance options (the strange, attractive cult leader, the chill travelling surfer, the flirty, beautiful doctor, the funny, chill bartender, the mysterious, bookworm werewolf (remus lupin fans rejoice!), the wholesome, intelligent researcher, and the chill, nonbinary butcher).

clothing options after a boutique shop opens in town

classic farming elements like crops, livestock and fishing, but with unique things like gem powered farm helpers, a cauldron to brew potions, a sewing machine and silkworm charm, a paper press and desk for making spells, seasons that you can change whenever you want, a leather tanning station, and the option to pet your animals.

play as a witch who can ride her broomstick and have a pet cat as a familiar!!!

work on buildings in the town and repairing things to get new quests and people!!

casual queerness with the word 'lesbian' being used!!!!!!!!

FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH - Destined for Rebirth

Japanese version

Latest details

■ Key Artwork

■ Regions of the World

The world is comprised of multiple regions, each boasting unique environments for players to explore and experience on their adventure.

Starboard Junon

An urban residential zone within the fortified metropolis overlooking the ocean. In addition to housing for Shinra personnel, high-end boutiques and restaurants line its streets. Currently, preparations are underway here for Rufus Shinra’s presidential inauguration parade

Shinra-8

A Shinra cruise ship that ferries travelers between the planet’s eastern and western continents. After departing the port of Junon, it heads for the resort town of Costa del Sol. As part of the on-board entertainment, the ship plays host to a Queen’s Blood tournament.

■ New Characters

Cait Sith & Moogle

This gregarious cat fights from atop his sturdy moogle mount, who provides both mobility and support during battle. When Cait’s not duking it out, his Cait Sith & Moogle high-tech helper aids him in hacking computer systems and telling fortunes.

Elena (voiced by Piper Reese in English, Megumi Toyoguchi in Japanese)

“Feast your eyes on the Turks’ latest and greatest─Elena! But you three can call me your worst nightmare!”

Though she may be a rookie, she’s as skilled with her fists and a gun as anyone else in the Turks unit of Shinra’s General Affairs Division. She and her partner Rude are tasked with pursuing the black-robed figures, which she is more than happy to do if it means being assigned a mission with Tseng.

Captain Titov (voiced by Jonathan Lipow in English, Tsuyoshi Koyama in Japanese)

“Be sure to mind your P’s and Q’s, huh? Lotta bigwigs on board.”

The captain of the Shinra-8, responsible for overseeing safe passage for all who travel between Junon and Costa del Sol. He’s earned a sterling reputation among his crew, thanks to his unerring devotion to his duties. This is most evident during the various festivities held aboard his vessel, which he personally—and passionately—emcees.

■ Combat

Next up, let’s take a look at what some of the new additions to the party can do in battle!

◆ Yuffie

Basic Attacks

Quickly strike enemies with a large throwing star. The speed with which she attacks allows you to charge ATB faster than most. While her throwing star is out, Yuffie can unleash magic-infused “ninjutsu” to punish foes.”

Abilities

Yuffie excels at chaining her attacks together and switching their elemental affinity. Her Doppelgänger ability allows her to attack in tandem with her clone, enabling her to exploit enemies’ weaknesses even more effectively.

Unique Ability

Hurling her throwing star at enemies allows her to keep up the pressure from a distance. While her throwing star’s out, she can also pelt her foes with ninjutsu. Whatever element her target’s weak against, Yuffie has a ninjutsu spell for it.

◆ Cait Sith

Basic Attacks

He darts about the battlefield with the agility of an acrobat (or perhaps a cat?), assailing enemies from every side. When he wants to switch things up, he brings out his moogle pal, changing his attacks.

Abilities

These Cait Sith-exclusive moves can hurt enemies or buff allies, but most rely on luck in some way. “Let’s Ride!,” however, allows him to hop on his moogle, enhancing his regular attacks and his unique abilities.

Unique Abilities

While riding his moogle, Cait Sith can give enemies the boot with Dropkick. Once his moogle’s attacks have filled the Moogle Meter, he can also buff his companions with abilities like “Defense!”

◆ Synergy Abilities

Powerful attacks in which two characters team up to turn the tide of battle. More abilities will unlock as you increase the party level—a numerical expression of how closely-knit your team is—and deepen the affinity between party members. Fill the synergy gauge by using abilities, then unleash a synchronized assault.

Moogle Pinwheel (Synergy Ability / Yuffie and Cait Sith)

Yuffie and Cait Sith attack in tandem with a secret ninja technique.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the second game in the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy, will launch for PlayStation 5 on February 29, 2024.

In Love With The Same Cat

➥ summary : There’s no Spider-Man without the Black Cat just like there’s no Black Cat without Spider-Man. But what if we had a multiverse dimensional traveling jewelry stealing burglar Black Cat (try saying that seven times fast aye) that traveled across dimensions not only stealing the worlds finest jewels but also the hearts of four unlucky, or lucky depending on how you see it Spider-Man’s and Spider-Women’s hearts.

➥ chapter 8: A New Beginning

After months of homeschooling, Walter Hardy, a proud and protective father, made the decision to let his daughter (y/n) attend a real school. The search for a suitable institution had been challenging, but finally, they received a late acceptance from Brooklyn Visions Academy—the only school willing to accommodate (y/n)'s late admission.

Excitement coursed through (y/n)'s veins as she stepped into the halls of Brooklyn Visions Academy for the first time. The bustling energy, the sound of students chattering, and the sight of lockers lining the hallways created an atmosphere of possibility and new beginnings. She was eager to immerse herself in the academic challenges and social interactions that awaited her.

To celebrate this milestone, Walter decided to treat his daughter to a special day out. They embarked on a shopping excursion, exploring the vibrant streets of New York City. The world seemed to unfold before (y/n)'s eyes as they strolled through boutiques and clothing stores, each filled with a tapestry of styles and colors.

As they ventured into a trendy salon, (y/n) made the decision to undergo a transformation—a visual representation of this new chapter in her life. With a determined glimmer in her eyes, she chose to dye her hair white—a color that mirrored her father's aging hair. It was a symbolic gesture, a tangible connection between their bond and shared experiences.

The skilled stylists worked their magic, weaving their expertise through (y/n)'s locks. As the white hue took hold, (y/n) marveled at her reflection—a newfound confidence emanating from her transformed appearance. The white strands of hair served as a reminder of the legacy that she carried, a visible link to her father and the experiences they had shared.

With her newly styled hair and a spring in her step, (y/n) returned to Brooklyn Visions Academy. She was greeted by curious gazes and whispered conversations, her transformation catching the attention of her peers. But she carried herself with grace, her confidence bolstered by the support and love of her father.

Inside the walls of the academy, (y/n) found herself challenged academically. The rigorous curriculum tested her intelligence and creativity, pushing her to expand her knowledge and broaden her horizons. She immersed herself in her studies, eager to prove her worth and excel among her peers.

But it wasn't just the academic challenges that shaped (y/n)'s experience at Brooklyn Visions Academy—it was the friendships and connections she formed. Her classmates welcomed her with open arms, drawn to her unique energy and determined spirit. Together, they navigated the hallways of the academy, supporting each other through triumphs and setbacks.

As the days of attending the school turned into weeks , (y/n) blossomed within the vibrant community of Brooklyn Visions Academy. Her intelligence, creativity, and resilience were recognized by her teachers and classmates. She emerged as a leader, both academically and socially, her vibrant white hair serving as a beacon of individuality and strength.

Walter watched with a mixture of pride and joy as his daughter thrived in her new environment. He had made the right decision to allow her this opportunity—a chance to spread her wings and discover her own path. He marveled at the transformation he witnessed within her—a metamorphosis that extended far beyond her physical appearance.

The white strands of hair symbolized not just a connection to her father but a symbol of (y/n)'s resilience and determination to embrace her individuality. It served as a reminder of the unbreakable bond between father and daughter—a bond that transcended appearances and embraced the power of acceptance and love.

As (y/n) continued her journey at Brooklyn Visions Academy, she carried with her the lessons learned from her father's guidance. She embraced the challenges, relished in her academic pursuits, and cherished the friendships forged along the way. The white hair that flowed from her head symbolized the uniqueness of her spirit—a testament to the courage to stand out in a world that often demanded conformity.

Together, (y/n) and Walter faced the future with hope and anticipation. With each passing day, they grew closer, their shared experiences strengthening their bond. The halls of Brooklyn Visions Academy echoed with laughter, curiosity, and the promise of a bright future—a future that (y/n) was determined to seize with both hands, her white hair billowing like a flag of triumph.

I would suggest going with the gulet charter over a crewed catamaran for several reasons. First, the Blue Cruise on a gulet is a product unique to Mediterranean whereas you can charter a catamaran worldwide. The hospitality of Italian crew on a gulet will amaze you, whereas a hired skipper and hostess on a cat will be more functional and will most likely not be professional as most cats are foreign flagged. With the cat, yes you would need to have an additional berth/cabin for both the skipper and the hostess unless they come as a couple, in which case one cabin would suffice. You would also need to pay for their meals and drinks in addition to their daily rates.

Comfort wise, again the gulet wins as there is so much room in cabins and on deck. On the cat, it would be up to you and the crew to decide what meals are on and which are off. On the gulet, you can have half board, but bear in mind that if you plan to sail, you'll need to plan an itinerary where you can actually be at a restaurant every evening, and much of this coastline is sparse and undeveloped (in a beautiful way.) Once you have a couple of meals off the gulet, you may find yourself preferring to eat on the boat for the quality and the value, because you do have your own personal chef already in the price. Not all gulets sail well so if you go with the gulet, ensure that the crew and the boat are prepared to sail whenever weather conditions comply.

A/C on standard and deluxe gulets is often part-time, designed to run in the early afternoon and evenings before midnight. It's normally then turned off as a courtesy to any nearby boats, and is usually not even needed unless there's a heat wave. Luxury gulets will offer 24/7 A/C.

The service with gulet for comfort and relaxing is unmatched with any catamaran

Www.guletcharteritaly.com

* 12 Sunbeds for each person one compared to smaller areas to sunbath on a Cat.

* Indoor and outdoor table for 12 to sit comfortable for your meals and private space.

* bi-weekly cleaning of towels and linen optional on Cat.

* weekly cleaning of sunbed covers not available on Cat

* large tender for water sports and comfortable embarking and disembarking on anchor. A tiny tender on a Cat.

* on smaller cat one has toilet showers whereas on gulets large cubical showers with multiple shower heads.

* Gulet Charter Italy by Yacht Boutique is a unique hotel service for comfort and relaxing for clients. the luxury on the water.

Headcanons for Celine Stellareinette

Celine's unique magic, "Light of Luminous", to restoring or purifying any objects affected by the dark spell with a sparkling dust.

Celine's family runs their own boutique in Crystal City (the first country of Queendom of Quartz) after she was born in the Land of Pyroxene / Shaftland.

According to Ariel, Celine always napped between 3 and 5 p.m., sometimes for 16 hours. Before she relaxes, though, she's always looking for a quiet, comfortable place that must be just right.

Rozebelle mentioned that Celine just like a cat due to the time she asleep and awake, is always 16-18 hours, which why everyone secretly call her a sleeping feline.

She has a Munchkin cat named Prince Charming. He has a twin sister, Princess Charming, who is cared for by Ariel.

She has a half-brother named Richard Stellareinette, who attended NRC and was a student in Pomefiore dorm. Celine often visits him once at his school as she mentioned that he is at least home to celebrate with their family on holidays.

Depending on have a fashion sense, Celine even knows jewelry and its objective that taught by her brother and Claire's tutor.

She had no long-term friends of the same age at school before being selected for the RFA. However, she made friends with teachers at the school where she studied until she made friend with Rozebelle who's was exchanged from the other school.

Unlike those rebels in school, Celine never skipped the class and less get a punishment ordered by teachers.

Though she not a rebel, she still likes to jokes them with pranks, even used for learn those bad students a lesson.

She often helps people with fashion advice, but some of it can be wrong. Even she likes to generously help those who desire to make clothes for them without paying.

Depending on this, everyone thinks she is a naive girl who doesn't check people's identities first, but she actually helps them by knowing their identities earlier, so that they don't pay attention to her truth.

In addition to fashion design, she also acting reality without any strict training by teacher.

Dickens Christmas, Skaneateles NY

If you have never visited Skaneateles NY during December, make it a plan to do it next year!!!! Each December the small village transforms itself to Victorian London. Residents of the village dress up as characters from A Christmas Carol and interact with all of the visitors. Father Christmas is there for photo opportunities (and he looks amazing!!!!) They have scheduled events like story time for the children and singing carols at the gazebo by the lake. All of the shops are open and ready for you to support their small businesses. Skaneateles also has several great restaurants for you to stop in and take a break from shopping.

We headed over to The Sherwood Inn for lunch. Decorated so beautifully for the holidays, The Sherwood Inn was a wonderful place to go to get out of the cold, have an awesome lunch and relax in a cozy atmosphere. Joe and I each had the beef on weck sandwich. Originating in Buffalo NY, the sandwich consists of thinly sliced roast beef on a Kummelweck roll. The roll is topped with Kosher salt and caraway seeds. It comes with horseradish and an au jus on the side. They were delicious! I also enjoyed a boozy eggnog made with 1911 bourbon.

It was a very cold and windy day when we visited so after doing some shopping and our favorite pet boutique Lucky Dogs (had to get our 2 labs some new toys) we stopped in at The Vermont Green Mountain Specialty Co for some really great coffee and a cookie. They also have some amazing looking chocolates but we didn’t get any this time.

The Dickens Christmas kicks off every year the day after Thanksgiving and runs every weekend ending on Christmas Eve.
