PictureThe Scream by Edvard Munch
Warning: This post represents stream-of-consciousness rambling and oddball connections from within the depths of my brain. Proceed at your own risk.

As a onetime theatre professional and a longtime lover of the creative arts, I am prone to flights of fancy in which I look for below-the-radar connections between diverse things.

We all do this to some extent. Look at a fluffy cloud in the sky and see a wooly mammoth or an ice cream cone. Listen to a piece of orchestral music and picture a waterfall or fawns in the forest. View an angsty painting by Edvard Munch and hear the music of My Chemical Romance blasting in your inner ear. 

Well, when I look at these perfectly kitsch mid-century appetizer plates featuring soulful (demonic?) big-eyed kitties my mind goes to the AWESOME 1960s cult classic film Faster Pussycat! Kill Kill directed by B-movie auteur Russ Meyer. According to Wikipedia, “Meyer is known primarily for writing and directing a series of successful sexploitation films that featured campy humor, sly satire and large-breasted women.”

​Mr. Meyer died in 2004 and we did not know each other, but I think he would have enjoyed eating his critics’ lunch from these feline-festooned appetizer plates after finally earning recognition and kudos from filmmaking’s Big Dogs including Quentin Tarantino who has named Meyer as a major influence.

Here now, for your camp-loving enjoyment, is the trailer for Faster Pussycat! Kill Kill.

And P.S. if you're interested in the plates check them out at Entertaining Vintage.
