5.0 out of 5 stars Because all kitties should express themselves., September 16, 2009
This review is from: Glamourpuss: The Enchanting World of Kitty Wigs (Hardcover)
It's understandable that cats can't always sport bangs, an updo, or a
bob. But when they're not chasing down their prey, it only makes sense
for them to spend their downtime purrfectly coiffed. Glamourpuss gives
us a brilliant look into the lives of our feline friends' emotional
states, and we realize that their lives are pretty challenging after
all. The high-society kitties exposed in Glamourpuss will charm you as
you turn from one beautiful photograph to the next, and the
accompanying captions provide further insight into what is undoubtedly
the fantastic life being a cat.

5.0 out of 5 stars High-larious!, September 15, 2009
This review is from: Glamourpuss: The Enchanting World of Kitty Wigs (Hardcover)
You might ask yourself, "Who would want a book about cats wearing wigs?" and if you're honest with yourself of course you'd have to answer, "Everyone, natch!". So quit talking to yourself already and order this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Give this book to your friends before someone else does, September 15, 2009
By 
Arkster (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Glamourpuss: The Enchanting World of Kitty Wigs (Hardcover)
When I first heard about KittyWigs, I thought it was just a brilliant conceptual art project. When I realized they were actually selling wigs for cats, I was knocked out.

The book lives up to its illustrious origins with wonderful, full-color photos accompanied by Jackson's signature snarkiness; and cats finally get the serious portraiture they richly deserve.
