Salvaged from one of the two tumblr memes I ever joined in with, here's a glimpse into what all Miss Cat Sutter's been totin' around with her.



Just the basics:

• makeup and toiletries, brush, hairspray, scrunchies—cuz, y’know, early ‘90s;


• changes of clothes—including underwear because unlike Stella she does wear them (if only for the fun of slipping ‘em off);


• condoms cuz the safe sex PSA campaign hit her right where she lives, (Val, too, fyi);


• one of Valentine Hart’s cheap-o baseball cards because she somehow figured it’d have useful stats—useful to her, that is (it didn’t);


• pack of gum;


• about 11 bucks and change because she stays broke even when she’s getting work;


• toy cat…stuffed full of coke…but, like, it’s not really for her, she’s just, y’know, holdin’ onto it for a friend, and so, like, if it was overstuffed and some of it spills out sometimes…so what? her friend won’t mind (#bonus story secret);


• portfolio and scattered comp cards—this modelling thing is her only way outta dead-end Riverblossom that she can see so she’s always prepared—she needs exposure, she needs dinero (plus, she’s not even bein’ compensated for this, uh, favour for a friend—not in cash or nothin’ like that, so it can’t be, like, trafficking or whatever; she wouldn’t do that);


• but she would blackmail Goopy…if she had to, so there’s a certain photo from a coupla years ago he don’t know she’s got; now, she’s 22, so two years ago Cat was still legal for the rodeo, but two years ago Goopy was still married to #2 or #3 and his settlement ain’t been finalised yet, so y’know…a girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do; turns out GG was more’n happy to help just for the askin’ (prolly rememberin’ his last and lookin’ forward to his next “lay-over” near RBH) so maybe she’ll save that one for a rainier day, or maybe just for a keepsake;


• and although she thinks she looks damn good rockin’ the nekkid rodeo and shehas appeared in a home movie or two, Cat’s not trying to break into that side of Starrywood, so that particular sex, lies, and videotape ain’t featurin’ her!—she is not the dumb-dumb to be carrying nothin’ that incriminating (of herself) around with her, duh; but it was a handy l’il find;


• Walkman, of course, because it’s a long-ass bus ride to the east coast from Riverblossom Hills since Betty wouldn’t fork over the cash for her to fly and there was no sense even asking Vicky (her sis, and therefore eventually Cleo Shikibu’s mom); Cat kept it light, only lugged around a handful o’ mixtapes from two of her fellas back home—they were always competin’, it was too cute…and so sad; funny thing, she can’t seem to land on a song that feels like Valentine, even on the radio; sure, he’s a guy like any other, but she can’t quite fit that one in her pocket…yet;


• and lastly are her keys, and on the keyring a pic of her and said BFF 4eva (Betty) from back in their days of country girl innocence. Cat’s trying her damnedest to get the hell outta dodge, but she swore not to forget where she came from.

Extras: top down view and angled closeups on the details.

Teen Cat ‘n Betty was particularly hard to see, but I really wanted that as her key ring. Yum-yum Bubble Gum
isn’t the best in branding, but I’ve heard worse, and textures really, really aren’t my thing. And the portfolio shot is
meant to be the one Flo characterised as “typical glamour-puss. Bedroom eyes, puffy lips, sultry Evangelista bob
that made her whole face pop,obligatory beauty mark…” Don’t really have a clue if the hair’s ‘right’, but I liked it.
