My Friend Coco Is a Celebrity!

October 24, 2014 By: Summer Samba42 Comments

I need a tailor

You are probably wondering why I am wearing this dress! Well, my human thought I should be fashionable for my latest book review!

I feel frumpy next to her!

It’s The Adventures of Coco Le Chat: The World’s Most Fashionable Feline. And it stars my blogging pal Coco the Couture Cat! I have to be honest, though, I am kind of embarrassed about reviewing this cute, stylish book while wearing an off-the-rack dress! Not only that, it is a hand-me-down from several seasons ago that Sparkle never wore. Coco wouldn’t be caught dead in this!

Yep, her outfit blows doors on mine!

According to the book, Coco is a jet-setting French kitty who comes to New York City to visit some of its famous landmarks, and to lunch with fashion editors. It is actually just a role — in real life, Coco is an American kitty, but she still has a very unique fashion sense! That is how she got the role for the book.

She is going to the ballet in this dreamy outfit. I look like I'm ready for the playground

Coco has a different outfit for every New York adventure — and she has lots of fun! This 32-page book is part illustration, part photograph, but every picture of Coco is a real photo with a real outfit! It’s supposedly a children’s (and kitten’s) book, but with its hard cover and elaborate design, any cat (and fashion) lover will adore it.

This was one of the best parts! Why is it denied me?

It even has these pretty ribbon bookmarks. I thought they made really fun cat toys, but my human said I was not allowed to play with them.

I have a reputation to keep up!

As you may have gathered, I do not mind wearing clothes, but if I must, I really hope this book inspires my human to dress me up in something a little more haute couture and a little less pet store discount bin.

Where's my modeling fee?

The official release date for The Adventures of Coco Le Chat is October 25 — that’s tomorrow! But you can order it from Amazon now. And I recommend you do — this is a beautiful, charming book and it would make a wonderful gift… maybe even for yourself!

Disclosure: I received a free copy of Coco’s book for review. Link to Amazon is an affiliate link, so I can make enough money for a decent wardrobe!

    Ooooh, that looks like a great read! But why would they have those fun ribbons in there as a bookmark if you can’t chew on them???

    Summer, we think you look great in your little dress. If you hadn’t said it wasn’t new or haute couture (or is that hot cature) we wouldn’t have noticed.

    This book sounds fabulous Summer and your little dress is adorable. Speaking of books, maybe our humans will see each other at the Catification book signing at The Grove on Monday night?

    Our human has met Coco a few times as well, and I am simply GREEN with envy over her wardrobe! Our human says she is a fashion maven, an icon in the kitty couture industry, and our slacker humans should ante up and provide us girlcats with equally stylish clothing.
    (Good luck with yours, ours refuses to budge. *sigh*)

    Oh Summer! You look young and fresh in that frock! And believe it or not, that same dress was in Coco’s closet at one time (til she outgrew it…) so you should be pleased you two girls have the same fashion sense!

    Coco thanks you for a superlative review of the new book featuring her, and we all loved the photos of you purrusing the pages, too!

    You and your human put together a great post and we so appurrciate the high marks you gave the book and we look forward to seeing you on the catwalk someday soon!

    The only thing I find wrong with your dress is it looks a little small and that you were forced to wear it. That looks like a fun book and if we had the money, we’d buy it.

    I have a custom made coat and the publicist calls it goat-ure but it is nothing like what Coco wears. The publicist met her at BlogPaws and was quite impressed.

    Yeah, you definitely need to lose that dress – maybe drag it to the litter box and cover it up – like it was poop (’cause it is!) MOL

    Who cares if it’s an off-the-rack? You give it style. You give it life! Just don’t give our mom any more ideas. She was saying something about a costume just this morning! Awesome book review that we’ll check out! Whadya mean, you aren’t allowed to play with the book ribbons?

    The mom has met Coco twice…and she says Coco is one fashionista! How cool that she has her own book now. And Summer, you’re on the road to becoming a fashionista yourself. 🙂
