Tickets to the Hair Ball, the party+book-signing event for this title, are scarce. Beware of scalpers.

6 Theresa 03.23.10 at 1:03 pm

260Oakley, SUPER-GENIUS!

Second from top: It’s Edna Mode, from “The Incredibles”!

“I never look back, dah-leenk — it distracts from The Now.”

8 Theresa 03.23.10 at 1:04 pm

NTMTOM, totally.

9 Elaine 03.23.10 at 1:08 pm

They are so patient with us.

10 Resriechan 03.23.10 at 1:09 pm

Poss my fave CO Hovertext evah: “I want a pony”, on that haughty-looking feline quadruped, WITH Silly Wig.

Suggesh: possibly the remaining M Pythoners should consider a single, final
episode, called “Silly Wigs”.

11 ceejoe 03.23.10 at 1:20 pm

lol, go read the reviews on amazon.com… hahahahahaaaha…

12 Martha 03.23.10 at 1:21 pm

Just a little on the creepy side I think or maybe not…………still trying to decide!

13 LovesDogs 03.23.10 at 1:23 pm

Why, Pippy Longstockings, is that YOU???

14 Mika 03.23.10 at 1:24 pm

Some people have to much time on their hands and as my Nana used to say “Idle hands do the devil’s work”. And those pictures are definitely devilishly funny! LOLLL.

15 Jerilyn 03.23.10 at 1:36 pm

Don’t know why, but #1 reminds me of Cleocatra… Perhaps it’s the bangs and the kohl around the eyes.

(Someone please, please please tell me how to use emoticons on this site!!!)

16 Resriechan 03.23.10 at 1:44 pm

Jerilyn: I don’t know ‘em all but here are a couple of the basics:

; ) = ;) (that’s a SEMI colon for the winky)
: ) = :) (full colon for these)
: ( = :(

very tight spacing will give you the emoticons; an extra single space bar will result in just punctuation marks…

;)

17 Jerilyn 03.23.10 at 1:49 pm

Thank you, Resriechan, thank you, a million times thank you! ;)

18 Resriechan 03.23.10 at 1:49 pm

just came up from another comments stream where Ed. mentioned the following for the googly-eyed guy/ gal:

Numeral 8, Upper-case letter “O” (NOT zero numeral)

8O

19 cheshirekittehkat 03.23.10 at 1:50 pm

It is to their everlasting credit that these kittehs actually let their hyuoomins put these wigs on them, pose them and remained in place until the photog snapped the pics:
IT IS INCREDBUHL!!! Woo-Hoo: Kittehs Rock!!!! :lol:

20 Resriechan 03.23.10 at 1:50 pm

You’re welcome, at LEAST a million times!!!! :)

Peace & googly-eyes to all!

21 Elisha B. 03.23.10 at 2:03 pm

Oh my….. are these kitties smiling? I think soooooo…’cept for the last one, but that’s okay….she doing the “I ready for my close up Mr. Demille” expression.

Too funny :)

22 Suzanne 03.23.10 at 2:10 pm

A friend gave me the book after my diagnosis…if these fiesty felines can rock a wig – so can I!

And NTMTOM…you are so right about Kitten #2…she’s just missing the cigarette holder

23 Julie Jackson 03.23.10 at 2:24 pm

260Oakley, the book release party actually WAS called the Hair Ball – not sure if you knew that or if you were kidding – but luckily there were no scalpers! Eek!

Thanks Meg, and cuteoverload, for being my daily inspiration!

24 victoreia 03.23.10 at 2:30 pm

What drugs did they use, to get the kittehs to stay so mellow with such silliness? 8-O

25 Julie Jackson 03.23.10 at 2:32 pm

Oh, and here are, in order, some of the actual captions for each photo from the book (though I LOVE the suggestions – keep ‘em coming!):

top, Chicken in red: “A canary? In my mouth? How very dare you!”

second, Gravy in glasses: “That’s Professor Fishpaw to you.

third, Rooster in curlers: “I want to be Miss Fancy Paws USA because I love to travel and teach children sign language. My favorite color is pink and my pet cause is world peace.”

26 Julie Jackson 03.23.10 at 2:42 pm

victoreia – cat food in cans and lots of treats usually does the trick!

27 Hot Tams 03.23.10 at 2:45 pm

“I want a pony.”
HAHAHCHCAHHAH!!!

28 Puddlepeppers 03.23.10 at 3:01 pm

Suzanne…love your cattitude and wigatude! We’re here for you
whenever you need a laugh…or encouragement.

29 Fluidstatic 03.23.10 at 3:06 pm

I totally agree with NTMTOM on kitty #2. “I couldn’t possibly dahleeng, but you had better ask me now before I again become sane…”

30 claire 03.23.10 at 3:07 pm

Now thats just weird :-)

!!:)CUTE:)!!

31 claire 03.23.10 at 3:08 pm

and I agree with kasia

32 Moggyfan 03.23.10 at 3:37 pm

Soooooooooo wrong! Soooooooooo demeaning! Not enough treats in the world to make up for this!

33 gryt 03.23.10 at 4:12 pm

The color combo of the Pippi Longstocking wig on the gray kitteh with the pretty green eyes? Nailed it!

34 260Oakley 03.23.10 at 4:23 pm

Contestants ready for their appearance on “What’s my Hairline?”

@Julie Jackson
I didn’t know the release party really was called the Hair Ball. That’s a riot. I hope it went off with a bang and that everyone parted as friends.

35 Joolya 03.23.10 at 4:29 pm

No, just no

36 nismo 03.23.10 at 5:02 pm

I love that second one. So geeky.

37 jill johnson 03.23.10 at 5:16 pm

i heart cute overload.
thanks Meg for making my birthday.
xoxojj

38 Joyce 03.23.10 at 5:19 pm

I agree with Kasia – wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong…….

39 Beans 03.23.10 at 7:09 pm

this is all sorts of amazing

40 Amanda 03.23.10 at 7:51 pm

Weird……….. thats all I have to say.

41 Teresa 03.23.10 at 8:51 pm

:lol: Those kitties look like they are plotting revenge on the humans who put those wigs on their little heads :lol:

42 dr. berthaservant 03.23.10 at 11:08 pm

I put on some make-up
and turn up the tape deck
and pull the wig down on my head
suddenly I’m Miss Glamour Kitteh on Your Screen
until I head home
and put myself to bed.

43 Zombie 03.23.10 at 11:15 pm

So… how much surgery did the photographer need after that last one?

44 Anita 03.24.10 at 1:46 am

Go Fern! That original cougar!

45 Hon Glad 03.24.10 at 2:35 am

The moment I wake up, before I put on my make up
I say a little prayer for you
I’m glueing my wig on, and hoping that you’ll like this song
I say a little prayer for you

46 MandyMo 03.24.10 at 5:01 am

AHHHHHHhahahahahahahahahahahaha! *deep inhale, snort*
Too funny!

Ah, what would the world be without nuffers? All my cats give me the StinkEye look that the last kitty is sporting–why not put a wig on them and get a good picture out of it? No one was hurt, and it makes the rest of us giggle with delight (or snort, in my case). ;)

47 Saffron 03.24.10 at 5:45 am

Heee…there should be anew show called RuCat’s Drag Race
:D

48 Ann 03.24.10 at 5:50 am

1)WENDYS GIRL
2)MY CHINA GIRL
3)Diane Sawyer
4)Lady Gaga..but cuter

Very good impressionists…

49 Valerie 03.24.10 at 5:53 am

They are smiling cause they are silently planning their revenge.

2 is so adorable..3 looks super affectionate like a kitty i use to have. Always wanted to snuggle on my lap.

50 Trac 03.24.10 at 5:55 am

I would bet you dont get your hand back taking wig off first one…thats not a happy face.

51 Resriechan 03.24.10 at 7:02 am

I second Saffron’s suggeshe: I bet RuPaul would appreciate some of the hairpieces!!!!!

Let’s call it “The CatWalk”!!!

Signed,
Inspired (by Saffron)

52 Hon Glad 03.24.10 at 7:46 am

dr. Berthaservant – How poignant.

PS how’s the new job going?

53 Mel 03.24.10 at 9:17 am

OMG… this is hillarious!! My favorite is the kitty with the red wig !!

54 Lerrinus 03.24.10 at 12:11 pm

Love the second kitty – I first thought of Linda Hunt but NOMTOM’s idea of Edna Mode of the Incredibles is even better! :lol:

55 nola 03.25.10 at 1:38 pm

thats just silly

56 Brenda 03.25.10 at 2:36 pm

Hysterical! I love it!

57 Willow 04.02.10 at 5:50 am

Wicked Cute!!! Love the last one-the look on the face!!!

58 köpek 04.04.10 at 9:00 am

Let’s call it “The CatWalk yes numberone :)

59 andrwadr 04.04.10 at 9:34 am

#1 is the readhead version of Xena the warrior pussycat. Creepy. Too creepy.

60 Tessa 04.07.10 at 4:53 am

The first one with the red wig looks especially wicked. Cool stuff.
