Right off the bat I need to tell you that if you missed the first bout
of the Rat City Rollergirls' 2008 season, you needn't feel like a chump
... though I gotta tell ya, you kinda look like one to everyone who did go. Just look at us insufferable jerks, pointing at you and laughing. Ha ha ha ho ho ho, laughing and laughing, on into the night.

Life Behind Bars
In the course of my work I am introduced to many fine adults, and many fine adult beverages. Tini Bigs' annual cocktail tasting, hosted by the bar's owners and resident bon vivants Keith Robbins and Patrick Haight, brings the best of both. This year's tasting found me and several other local media peeps enthusiastic and thirsty. So. Very. Thirsty.

This weekend I was boning up on canine fashion, and one of the trends I learned about was wigs. Wigs for dogs!

Little Kids, Big City
As a parent, I feel like I have a load of local resources at my
disposal for my toddler. The handful of publications that focus on
family, such as Red Tricycle, ParentMap
and Northwest Child, all offer great ideas for families with kids under
10 or so. But what about the next stage? I have been trying to educate
myself on what is out there for the older set, once called youth, now
tweens or teens, and I keep on being excited by all the arts programs
in Seattle.

Normally, when some strange man invites us to "come taste the wine (and) come blow your horn," we make a hasty walk to a well-lit area and phone the authorities. But when that strange man is wonderful local actor Nick Garrison, well, we put on our bowler hats and our fishnets and follow him to Weimar Berlin.

While they'll never ask, "Do I look fat in this dog sweater?" about 60 percent of dogs in the United States should probably take a closer look at their reflection in the bottom of the food bowl. A recent study by Purina Pet Food found that six out of 10 dogs in this country are overweight. And despite our reputation as a fit city, Seattle is no exception for pets living life large.

Many
fashion-conscious Seattle
women are familiar with Pioneer
Square boutique Violette,
but they may not know that owner and clothing designer Beth Nielsen also sells
environmentally conscious apparel online, at her Web-based shop, Eko Chic. Currently, the Web
site both sells Nielsen's own vintage-inspired designs and showcases other eco-friendly, independent designers.
