Cat Lady

Cat Lady has only one defining feature: enormous pink glasses.

Cat Lady also got more and more volatile as the photo shoot went on. She sang. She talked to her cats. She yelled at people who were cruel to cats. She smouldered silently at the thought of abandoned kittens. She goes through the spectrum of emotions brought about from too much solitude and not enough human contact.

Here is Cat Lady in a relatively (and rarely) calm and forthright attitude.

Cat Lady is not always in control of how she comes off.

The thought of cruelty to animals makes Cat Lady go deep deep within herself. Into a fortress of rage.

Cat Lady quiets down her inner demons for a moment. Just a moment.

Singing to her brood of cats always makes Cat Lady happy.

Sometimes Cat Lady gets depressed. The blues come over her suddenly, with almost no warning.

It is useless to try to talk her out of these moods.

If you push her too hard to "cheer up", she very well may lash out at you.

For the sake of all of her cats, she does, on occasion. try to "put on a happy face". The cats are never fooled, however.

The black moods pass ... leaving Cat Lady exhausted and quiet within.

Now she can sing to her cats again, with a free and open heart. A heart filled with ... a thermal glow, apparently.

It is unknown how Andy Warhol came to know her. She lived in Tribeca when it was mainly an industrial area, so it is possible he saw her on the streets and became intrigued. But he captured her here, in one of her happy singing moods.

OMFG.

So many impressions flying through my mind at this moment... one of which is: You have lovely teeth.

The rest - the mental stuff - has to wait until I'm better in control of myself.

Miker - don't tell her that. She'd have a nervous breakdown.

Sheila, remember that Tipping Point book by Malcolm Gladwell? And the concept of jumping the shark? You have now officially reached the Tipping Point AND jumped the shark (in a very good way) at the same time.

Oh, readers of human history, a comic epiphany has occurred here. Read it and learn!

Holy manoly. I've only seen Cat Lady and I'm already gonna have a heart attack.

LOL this was unspeakably funny. I admire you so much for this, so much. HAHAH a heart filled with thermal glow. Fortress of rage. Ahhh good times. This is as cool as the candy Lord of the Rings scene.

I don't laugh out loud while reading very often... but the thermal glow comment got me good! Love this!
