Denver designer Kirsten Coplans has been around the block — a few of them actually — beginning first with her defunct 17th Avenue boutique, Sparrow, and more recently as the creator of a clothing line carried by Jil Cappuccio on Capitol Hill and Pome on South Gaylord Street. For that…
Recently, I lost a close friend. This friend had been with me for many years, had traveled around the world with me, and always made me feel good. I’m talking about my favorite pair of Serfontaine jeans. These were the jeans I could wear with anything, could rock if I’d…
Although this look would probably fly in Aspen, it makes me glad that Denver isn’t as trendy as New York and the women here know better than to wear mangled fur with bad boots and a top knot. I do have to defend this with the fact it was from…
Only 24 more hours before the streets are lined with Sex-a-holics. It’s been nearly five years since we last saw our girls, so take a minute to make sure you’re still up on all the gossip of years gone by. Here’s a sampling of questions from the Sex and the…
In 1858, a famous chess game, the Opera House Massacre, was played between three people: The German Duke Karl of Brunswick and the French Count Isouard faced off against the American chess master Paul Morphy. But despite the combined efforts of Karl and Isouard, Morphy ran away with the checkmate,…
Somebody forgot to tell Nintendo that “strenuous indoor exercise” does not top anyone’s summer fun list. This, of course, does not explain why poor suckers everywhere are lining up for Wii Fit, an exhausting personal trainer disguised as a video game. Me? I’ll be kicking back with Mario Kart Wii…
If you’re like me and you enjoy shopping, drinking, shopping, trying new beauty products and shopping, then tomorrow night’s Shecky’s Girls Night Out should be just about the perfect pre-weekend retreat. Billed as “America’s Favorite Shopping Party,” the Shecky’s event promises everything from complimentary cocktails (including mojitos and Chambord martinis),…
This piece of bait is named Phil. Phil is not just pretty, he’s also functional. For example – can’t find your cheese grater? Try Phil’s stomach. It’s just that easy. Phil will be out and about this weekend, so go fetch, ladies! (You’re welcome.)…
With the long weekend over and only three days to go until Sex and the City opens on the big screen, let the countdown to a fun, fashionable weekend begin. Visit The Cat’s Pajamas every day through Friday for musings on the women and men of Sex and the City…
With all the wet weather we’ve been having, this weekend will be a great time to get out in the garden and work. But, while the damp earth makes weeding easier, it also tends to bring out the bugs in full force. Lynne Killey, owner of Queen Bee Skin Care,…
Eugene and his cop sunglasses bless Colfax all the way from San Francisco…
The countdown has begun. Only seven days until the most anticipated movie of the year for people with breasts opens in theaters. I’m talking about Sex and the City: The Movie people, and if you say you don’t care you are a liar. I’ll be the one standing in line…
When Libby Alexander and Mae Martin opened Common Threads in Boulder last fall, their intent was two-fold: On one hand, it would serve as a business tailored to Alexander’s design background, and on the other, it would provide an outlet for girls from AIM House, a local youth residential mentoring…
Not only is she skinny, tan, beautiful and can wear anything, she is totally cool which pisses me off because I can’t hate her. I think Bobby needs a stronger prescription on those glasses so he can check the mirror before he leaves the house. Style maven and Colfax Avenue…
Steven Spielberg may rule Hollywood, but in the video-game biz — the more profitable of the two industries, becoming more so with each passing year — he’s a bikini-clad babe in Jaws-infested waters. Perhaps that’s why in 2005, Spielberg, an avid gamer, signed with developing giant EA Games for three…
Once the temperature threatens to reach 80 degrees on a regular basis, I must shop. Sure, there are all those old spring and summer clothes in my closet, but to truly feel like the nice weather is here, I need to buy some new shoes (and skirts and jewelry). First,…
This past April I went to Kim’s house to do my taxes. When the process was complete I shouted, “This is horseshit! How the hell do I owe the government any money?! I’m broke as it is!!! Come to think of it, why do I have to pay taxes, at…
The concept at Positive Strokes, a Greenwood Village shop combining women’s tennis and fitness gear with wellness programs just for the ladies, was different enough to garner a Best of Denver award earlier this year (here’s what we said about it). But here’s another reason to go check it out:…
You all have one lurking in a drawer somewhere, girls: a nasty tangle of broken and knotted gold chains, mateless earrings with twisted posts and, I dunno, something made of shiny metal that might have once come out of a bubblegum machine. And you can part with this stuff, believe…
When the second season of Bravo’s “creative competition” show Shear Genius premieres in June, Denver will be represented by Charlie Price, co-owner of Click Salon, located at 231 Milwaukee Street. The first show airs on June 25, with stylists competing to “cut or get cut” (sounds violent, doesn’t it?). Should…
If you read reviews the way I do, you’ve already started by checking out the score, and now you’re back here to see what the hell my problem is. Peace, brother. Grand Theft Auto IV is a fine game, with tons of content and all the great moments you’ve come…
See Slide Show Here’s the thing – I sorta think American Idol has become a parody of itself, but I still can’t stop watching it. As near as I can tell, the show panders to three specifics demographics. As long as there are opiates there will be heroine addicts and…
