Local Woman Launches “Toxic Kitte” Clothing Line by Rachel Nelson
APRIL 2009 featuring... Feature Articles By Rachel Nelson and Amy Baucom
Calendar of Events
It is not uncommon to see pink Toxic Kitten stickers slapped on walls, signs and light posts in Amarillo. But what does it mean? According to Nina, an Amarillo local and creator of Toxic Kitten Clothing, the stickers and a dream are all she had to work with just over a year ago. She spent months working out the kinks: buying wholesale clothes, sketching design concepts, finding models, organizing promotional parties and meeting connections eager to help with screen printing and artwork.

“It’s just a clothing line with an attitude,” Nina said. The idea to create a clothing line sparked when Nina began taking frequent trips to southern California. “We used to go when I was little because my grandparents lived there, but I wanted to experience it when I was older,” she said. After connecting with friends on social networking site MySpace, Nina ventured to the west coast where she noticed several people have independent clothing lines. “MySpace is awesome,” Nina said. “I never thought in a million years that I would know the people that I know. I never thought that this is where I’d be right now at all, but it’s mostly because of MySpace.” Nina said she was inspired to bring her clothing line ideas back to Texas, and a special man in her life who lives in California was instrumental in creating the name. “He’s so supportive of me,” she said. “My pet name from him was kitten. He always called me kitten, and then we got into a huge fight and we kind of didn’t talk for a couple of months and it drove me crazy. So I became toxic, and I put toxic and kitten together and that’s how I got my name.” The first Toxic Kitten items emerged just before Christmas, and Nina said she is not stopping there. “Right now I’m doing my summer line, and I’m really trying to stray away from t-shirts right now,” she said. “I already started on my winter line.” Current items are being sold at the Music Box in Amarillo. They can also be ordered through MySpace at myspace.com/toxxxickitty and at toxickittenclothing.com. The selection includes designer t-shirts, jewelry, hair accessories and belts. The shirts come in sizes small to extra large, and there are clothes and accessories for little girls as well.

LaNita Diaz, a Toxic Kitten model, said one of the things she loves about the clothes is how comfortable and form-fitting they are. “(Nina) knows what’s sexy and casual, and everything she has is so comfortable,” Diaz said. “She has different sizes that fit different body styles. It’s kind of like naughty, edgy clothing without being so vulgar.” Nina said items to watch out for are Toxic Kitten buttons, booty shorts, dresses, hats, work shirts for males and items personally adorned by Nina with rhinestones, chains and other custom embellishments. Deric Holland is a photographer and photo editor for Toxic Kitten. “When Nina started talking about doing her clothing line, I basically just jumped right in and volunteered to help in any way possible,” he said. Holland said he believes the clothing line will be a success. “(Nina) is very, very passionate about everything she does, and you don’t find a lot of people who go into these kinds of ventures with a lot of passion.” Diaz agrees that Toxic Kitten has a bright future. “I’m so proud of (Nina),” she said. “I’m flattered that I get to be a part of this journey with her.” Nina said long-term goals for Toxic Kitten are brewing. “I’m really

www.amarilloscene.com interested in doing an allgirl toxic kitten band and a quarterly magazine,” she said. Nina said a clothing store in Germany contacted her and is interested in Toxic Kitten. She said she also would like to see her clothes in Hot Topic. “I don’t want to get too overwhelmed or get myself under water,” she said. “I’m excited at least the opportunity’s there.”

According to Nina, Toxic Kitten’s first photo shoot was done by the daughter of Barbi Benton, Hugh Hefner’s girlfriend through much of the 1970s. Diaz said she will be modeling clothes for the next photo shoot, which will include new items. Diaz describes herself as professional by day, but said when she puts on Toxic Kitten clothes it feels empowering. “Every woman’s got a little toxic kitten in them,” she said. “Every woman’s got that inner beauty that wants to come out in some form.” Toxic Kitten’s progress is unraveling at a vigorous pace, Nina said. “Things are going a lot faster than I thought, but it’s good that’s a good problem,” Nina said. “I’m stoked about it. I still can’t believe it. Like everything’s just falling into place. It’s really weird ... I’m just so positive right now all the time. I’m so happy every day.”

horoscopes
Famous Pisces...
hey baby...what’s your sign?
PISCES • February 19-March 20 You may want to gloss over a difficult family issue today, but it's probably a good idea to face conflict head-on. Instead of following your intuition, allow logic to be your guide for a change. Analyze the situation from several points of view and then make a decision that benefits all involved.
ARIES • March 21-April 19 You aren't afraid to put out extra effort today, but the details can require too much time and energy for your liking. If you do become mired with a minor matter, consider that this isn't where your attention is most needed. Take a second look before fruitlessly pouring your heart into the situation.
TAURUS • April 20-May 20 While everyone else seems uptight or nervous today, you may be quite confident and calm. Your positive attitude and polished appearance can make a great impression on others. You exude a relaxed competence now that puts people at ease. Take advantage of this positive phase by putting yourself in front of those whose approval you seek.
GEMINI • May 21-June 20 You feel extra smart today and are up for the challenge of putting together the pieces of a complex puzzle. It may start at home with something relatively unimportant, but even the smallest loose thread can unravel the largest fabric. Handling the situation efficiently requires the right balance between concern and detachment.
CANCER • June 21-July 22 Using intelligence as a weapon is less admirable than simply knowing how best to tell the truth. Don't fall into a defensive posture if someone is trying to gain control over you. Emotions beneath the surface carry deeper motivations that can't be discussed openly. Use your analytical powers to tell you whether what you're hearing is being used to manipulate you, and then react accordingly.
LEO • July 23-August 22 You'll accomplish more now if you can focus on just one thing at a time. You have a wide range of talents and interests, but cashing in requires concentrating on what you value most. Mastering a single skill means that you don't have time for distractions. Remember, today precision counts more than anything else.
VIRGO • August 23-September 22 Typically, you like to be clean and polished, but you might get a little dirty today and may be too self-critical about it. Don't worry, though, because getting the job done is more important than looking good. Take a chance and dive into the challenges you face now. Put all your intensity into whatever you encounter and then move on.
Shaquille O’Neal
Eva Longoria
Famous Aries...
LIBRA • September 23-October 22 Finding balance is what you do best. You prefer to stay cool and reasonable under any circumstances. But today if someone gets under your skin and agitates your feelings, you might not keep it to yourself. Respect your emotions and notice where they take you. As long as you don't get stuck, you have a good chance to talk through whatever comes up.
SCORPIO • October 23-November 21 Your friends may attempt to convince you to do something that doesn't sound quite right to you now, and it's important that you trust your instincts -- even if you have to stand up for your beliefs. Be careful that you don't create more conflict than you intend, for others might be willing to take your disagreement as a direct challenge. Negotiation is usually better than confrontation.
Reese Witherspoon
Russell Crowe
CAPRICORN • December 22-January 19 Life seems a bit calmer today as the Moon moves through earthy Virgo. You could make choices that stabilize a current situation while simultaneously planning for your future. Still, it's challenging to balance your immediate needs with your long-term goals. Be careful not to take on too much or you'll end up wasting precious time and energy.
SAGITTARIUS • November 22-December 21 AQUARIUS • January 20 - February 18 Your cavalier approach can get you into trouble at work today, especially if you try to avoid the most logical solution. The best strategy now is a simple one, so don't turn a molehill into a mountain or you'll just have to climb it. Listen to the cool voice of reason, even if it comes from your boss.
It's difficult for you to slow down enough to allow your emotions to fully express. You tend to be uncomfortable when you are vulnerable, yet now intimacy may be a key to your growth. Don't try to intellectualize everything you experience. Just open your mind and heart without judgment.

improve your appearance or reconstructive surgery to correct defects or improve function, you want a board-certified plastic surgeon with the skill and training to help achieve your goals. Flowery marketing does not replace necessary training and knowledge. Don’t be fooled by words like “Fully Trained”, awards not related to quality of care, memberships in organizations that do not monitor quality or ethics and claims that are too good to be true. DO YOUR HOMEWORK! If it sounds too good to be true, it is! Unfortunately, we have seen many patients requiring additional surgery to fix preventable mistakes made by non Board Certified Plastic Surgeons. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), established in 1931, is the largest plastic surgery specialty organization in the world. Find out more at www.plasticsurgery.org and look for the symbol of excellence when looking In the state of Texas, physicians are not required to list board certifications. Additionally, physicians who have not be properly trained attempt plastic surgery every day. If you have a license to practice medicine in Texas…you have a license to do surgery as well. Scary, right? Many physicians trained in other specialties are marketing themselves as cosmetic surgeons. The website of the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS.org) is a resource to see if your surgeon is really Board Certified. Q: What questions should I ask my ASPS Member Surgeon? A: It’s important to talk to your ASPS Member Surgeon about your goals and your treatment. Feel confident asking about your doctor’s credentials, experience, outcomes or safety record. It is your body, your safety and your life.

Appearances Gifts and Hair Salon by Amy Baucom There’s an amazing little place tucked just behind Nacho’s Mexican restaurant. Appearances, located at 3333 B South Coulter, opened March of 2008 as the result of two friends with two separate ideas. Becky Miller has always wanted to own a boutique while Kim Pickett thought of opening her own hair salon. The two got together and decided to merge their ideas into one. And it seems to have worked out just fine. Miller owns the boutique, and sells everything from jewelry to purses to home accessories. The most unique item in the store are the Lonestar Gemstones. This jewelry consists of precious and semi-precious stones, such as quartz, topaz and cubic zirconia and is available in a wide variety of colors. Each stone has a star faceted right into it, and Lonestar jewelry is the Official State Gemstone of Texas, as stated in House Resolution 97. The unique cut is stunning, and you can’t help but be attracted to these beauties. Appearances carries jewelry and purses unique to Amarillo.

Miller has offered 20% off fashion jewelry if you say you read about her delightful boutique in The Scene. The hair salon, located behind the boutique, consists of six hairdressers and offers cuts, color, perms, hair extensions, lip, eyebrow, and facial waxing as well as eyelash perming and extensions. Each hairdresser has their own supply of product, and each has different prices for their services. One of the major product lines is Purology, a nonsulfate, all natural shampoo and conditioner. Purology is made of protein, has no fillers such as water, nor salt, which dries out the hair. Only a small amount of product is needed. Purology prolongs the life of color and makes it more vibrant, while the conditioners don’t weigh down the hair like some commercial brands.
Heading back to the streets where it all began, two men rejoin two women to blast muscle, tuner and exotic cars across Los Angeles and floor through the Mexican desert. When a crime brings them back to L.A., fugitive excon Dom Toretto reignites his feud with agent Brian O’Connor. But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmaneuver him. And from convoy heists to precision tunnel crawls across international lines, two men will find the best way to get revenge: push the limits of what’s possible behind the wheel.
Appearances Salon does not offer manicures or pedicures, but right now, say you saw this in The Scene, and receive 20% off eyelash and hair extensions. Walk ins are welcome, and all customers, whether boutique shoppers, or salon clients, are greeted with genuine warmth and friendliness. So, next time you are in the mood for something unique, make an appearance at Appearances. Becky and Kim will be happy to see you.
