Guest Randi Warhol and Sam chat about costumes that remind us of times gone by and having really elaborate props for theme parties. This week’s items: Meat Is Murder Burlesque costume and an extermination tent for Sam’s house.
Randi Warhol, often described as the “carrot top of burlesque” by her peers, is a Philadelphia-are artist known for her love of cats, quirky burlesque acts, and cat toy designs. In 2012, she earned a certificate in Pet Product Design and Marketing from the Fashion Institute of New York.
Working in burlesque, Randi was able to carry her skills into her cat toy business, Polydactyl (named for her beloved many-toed polydactyl cat, Elliott). Her toys have been available in stores in the USA, Canada, and Japan, and have made appearances in publications such as Cosmopolitan Magazine, Bust, The LA Times, and of course… CAT FANCY.
Randi can be found these days designing new toys, fostering bottle baby kittens, and attending local cat shows as a vendor to promote her business. Follow her on instagram @randiwarhol and @polydactylcats
