'i'm proud to be a modern girl/who's not afraid in guitar shops/walking down the street in my leopard raincoat/no mercy for your ears/i am riding free [1,2,3]/i am ready to kick some ass/barefoot tonight'
from 'barefoot tonight', on the album batbox by miss kittin [2008]
miss kittin loves leopard print so much that she even sung about her animal-print overcoat in a song on last year's batbox album. strolling about in her mac, made her feel READY FOR ANYTHING. it might seem a bit obvious 'hey i'm a little cat lady! je suis une chatte' - because her stage name's kittin [very complex - it's like miss kitty, but comes from her first name caroline, shortened to cat], but she doesn't need to always wear it, just every now and then. aside from the name thing, she comes from a well-documented goth-indie-pop, industrial and maison francais background which adds up to a one-off style that combines elements of goth, punk and disco razzle-dazzle that's made her the cutest dj slash singer of them all.
