John Lennon & Musical Legends with Cute Cats and Dogs for Charity

Jessica Lapidos — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 16:07:09 +0000

As further proof that rockstars are real people too (still debatable), there’s a set of 10 note cards now for sale with photos of musical legends and their loving animal counterparts. Did you realize that John Lennon was such a cat lover? Or that Patti Smith had a (presumably lucky) black cat? Or that David Bowie has a dog other than Diamond Dogs? The Morrison Hotel Gallery is giving 100% of the sales from this $20 box of cards goes to the charity Rational Animal, which raises awareness and money for the homeless animals in NYC and nationwide. See a sneak peek ahead and get all gooey inside.

John Lennon had a whole host of cats throughout his life. It started with the famed feline, Elvis, that he had with his mother (who they realized was a lady kitty once she had a litter in the house). In the early 60s, he and his first wife Cynthia and son Julian had 10 cats. The first was a Tabby cat named Mimi after John's aunt. With May Pang, he had two cats, black and white, Major and Minor. Then with Yoko and Sean came at least 6 cats, Salt and Pepper and Misha, Shasha, Charo and Alice. Who can name the cat in this photo?

David Bowie and his dog max howl it out for Diamond Dogs.

Patti Smith shows no fear with her (potentially stray) black cat.

All the stars pictured in the set are John Lennon, Brigitte Bardot, Billie Holiday, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Robert Plant, The Beatles, Patti Smith, Neil Young and Nelly. One for every kind of music lover there is. Plus, this is a freaking adorable way to help little cats and dogs that don't have loving humans like our pets do. Well, they do have loving humans, but those guys are running the shelters, so there's really not enough lovin' to go around. And I mean, when you see the greatest musicians of all time nuzzling up with their pets, doesn't it just make you want to go out and adopt one?? Either way, go get your box-o-cute-cards online at the

Billie Holiday Gets Glamour-ous

Saynt — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 15:22:25 +0000

Here’s a post from Sayntly member Missy from AvantFab. Enjoysies.

So…For their latest issue, Glamour decided to pay homage to the ever-fabulous Ms. Billie Holiday in a spread dedicated to American icons.Paula Patton, a young and beautiful new face on the big screen, was chosen to capture Ms. Holiday’s spirit on camera.

Being a fan of the film, Lady Sings the Blues, I have to wonder…Can Ms. Paula hold her own with Ms. Dianna Ross?…An American Icon in her own right?…I know it’s just a photo shoot, but to me Dianna’s eyes say it all. She definitely wins against Paula.

Your Thoughts?
