Cat Ellington's Boutique Domain Reaches 500,000 Organic Views!

Cat Ellington's Boutique Domain Reaches 500,000 Organic Views!

The virtual home to the entire Cat Ellington entertainment, art, and literary divisions, The Boutique Domain has reached yet another milestone, that being 500,000 organic visits, and I am overwhelmed with humility. A subsidiary of The Black Jaguar Music Company, the award-winning Boutique Domain showcases my creative contributions in the fields of music, movies, art, and literature. And I'm so proud of it. I'm proud to say that it has been in operation since 2013. And I'm also proud to say that we've reached the 500,000-visits milestone by way of an honest journey.

Because my domain provider only counts ONE IP address at a time, NO ONE, not even myself, can refresh the pages in an effort to increase the button counter at the bottom of each page at the location; therefore, we've come to this stage honestly. My domain provider does not allow bot visits either; therefore, we've come to this stage in a spirit of honesty. 500,000 organic visitors. That's half a million, folks.

(beat)

I know y'all can add, I'm just being amused... (Smiles)

(beat)

Thank you all for visiting. I appreciate your interest in my creative life, I truly do. And as many of you now know, I'm nowhere near done here. We're still getting through my book series, "Dual Mania" is still forthcoming (theatrically), the motion picture soundtrack is still forthcoming (Heyyy now!), I'm preparing to start work on the next motion picture (Ooh, the script is a killer!), my art modeling works have to come up, and, of course, we have to get on through the 24-genre Cat Ellington song catalog. So come on and go wit' me as I strut walk and jive talk my way through it all. But in the meantime, errbody stay groovy.

Lovingly,

Cat

Meet BMI Songstress Jaki - The Passionate Voice Behind Cat Ellington's "I Do"

BMI songstress Jaki

Passion. Jazz. Soul. Phenomenal vocal harmony. They all explode in every section of the award-winning "I Do."

One of my most captivating musical works, "I Do" required just the right touch. And my production team had it. We also had the alluring vocals of our BMI counterpart, Jaki. And the stunning gal brought yours truly to tears with her powerful, yet gentle, rendition of the piece.

I fought hard to hold back the tears, but I lost the battle and they poured down in a drenching stream. Thank God the recording studio was dimly lit... (Laughs) Because I am such an 'ugly crier'... (More laughs)

I'm so proud of this work. I'm proud of the entire production of it. And I'm looking forward to the day when all of you in the public can finally hear it for yourselves.

Stay tuned folks!

Meet BMI Songstress Jaki - The Elegant Voice Behind Cat Ellington's "Something In Your Eyes"

BMI songstress Jaki

Another one of my most beloved works in the R&B collection of my song catalog is the commanding "Something In Your Eyes." I'm very proud to be the (earthly) author of this song, and even more so that the Lord God Almighty chose Jaki (from the BMI family) to bring it to life vocally. The girl is supremely talented. And I am honored by her gorgeous voice as she takes "Something In Your Eyes" and makes its her own.

Blissful. It's all I can feel.

Stay tuned folks!

Meet BMI Songstress Jaki - The Sultry Voice Behind Cat Ellington's "I'm Still In Love"

BMI songstress Jaki

The hard-hitting "I'm Still In Love" is one of my most beloved works in the R&B collection of my song catalog. And BMI vocalist Jaki, with her sultry voice and baffling vocal range, kills it!!!

Anytime I'm in awe, that's saying something. And when my producer slumps in his chair and can only say 'goddamn' over and over again, that's saying something. When Joseph Strickland gets chills and is left speechless, that's saying something.

Jaki takes the penitent anthem all the way home! And I, as its creative mother, am so proud of her.

Stay tuned folks!

Meet BMI Songstress Jaki - The Smoky Voice Behind Cat Ellington's "The Book Of Us"

BMI songstress Jaki

Nothing is sweeter to the ears of a songwriter than a beautiful voice - under the direction of a kick-ass producer - recording his or her song works. And that smoky voice of BMI songstress Jaki - singing "The Book Of Us" - blows me, the song's creative mother, completely away.

Jaki does my musical baby supreme justice! And I am beyond excited about her involvement in our musical works. Indeed, I am tremendously proud of her. I love her God-given vocal talents, and I will forever cherish her.

Stay tuned folks!

The Hue of the Review...in Neon

Reviews by Cat Ellington: The Complete Anthology: Vol. 6

Dipped in an intense hue of neon green, Reviews by Cat Ellington: The Complete Anthology, Vol. 6 continues the journey through the analytical world of literary criticism with the next collection of critiques...

That's right, baby. The next collection of examinations is wrapped up in a shade of green inspired by both the poster art for Wicked (the musical) and the spirit of envy that consumes many of the fictional characters under my critique in the volume. And it was a joy to compose. Joining me, once again, to contribute bonus material to the effort is none other than Ms. Naras Kimono. And I must say that it was a sheer pleasure to work with her on this, my 6th narrative in the series and her third. Come November 9th, 2021, we will be back on the literary criticism scene in neon green.

Reviews by Cat Ellington. A Unique Critique.

The Hue of the Review...in Ultraviolet

Reviews by Cat Ellington: The Complete Anthology: Vol. 5

Painted in a rich hue of ultraviolet blue, Reviews by Cat Ellington: The Complete Anthology, Vol. 5 continues the journey through the analytical world of literary criticism with the next collection of engrossing examinations that either ooh, aah, or grimace their way through the vast realm of literary fiction...

That's right, baby, I'm still at it. I'm cruising my way through the considerable book series in the vivid shade of ultraviolet. And joining me for the ride are none other than Ms. Naras Kimono—returning after her professional writing debut in book 4—and Mista Joseph Strickland, the writer of the foreword in book 3.

Indeed, we've got a whole lotta groovy, and not-so-groovy, books to critique, baby. So join us, why don't cha, on this journey through the fifth installment of the progressive series releasing in March 2021. Reviews by Cat Ellington. A unique critique.

Finding Her Voice

I'm creating yet another audiobook on Audible - in association with the Audiobook Creation Exchange (ACX) - and I have finally found the voice!

The talented Karen Saltus will serve as my producer on the audiobook for Reviews by Cat Ellington: The Complete Anthology, Vol. 2, and I'm so excited about her involvement. Indeed, I'm looking forward to working with her.

On behalf of Quill Pen Ink Publishing, I would like to say thank you to both Audible and the Audiobook Creation Exchange for their participation in this latest project. It's gonna be fun, fun, fun! And I can't wait to get it goin'! Karen, I am wholly honored to have you on board as your vocal style is just right for the content within. Let's do it!

Cat Ellington Joins the Authors Guild

Profile - Cat Ellington - The Authors Guild

So honored to be a newly elected member of the Authors Guild! Thank you so much, AG family, for having me. Much like with ASCAP (as a songwriter) in 2003, and the Academy of American Poets (as a poet) in 2013, my joining the Authors Guild (as an author) in 2020 is a childhood dream come true.
— feeling great 😀

Cat Ellington's Memoirs in Gogyohka Joins BiblioBoard Library (MN)

My personal memoir, "Memoirs in Gogyohka: A Collection of Short Poems and Memoirs," has also been selected by Indie Minnesota to be given given a place in the library space on its BiblioBoard Library mobile and web platform. And considering that quite a few of the (diary) entries were written during my coming of age in the state of Minnesota during the mid-to-late 1980s, this is a big deal. :)

Thank you again, team Indie Minnesota. My life-long love of libraries is undying, and to have my literary works included in them means the world to me.

Oh, you betcha it does. :)

Cat Ellington's More Imaginative Than Ordinary Speech Joins BiblioBoard Library (MN)

The fourth effort to be published from the Cat Ellington Literary Collection, "More Imaginative Than Ordinary Speech: The Poetry of Cat Ellington" (hey, that's me), has been selected by Indie Minnesota to be moved into the library space on its BiblioBoard Library mobile and web platform. And I am overjoyed because of it. I'm so glad that countless readers in the Land of 10,000 Lakes will be able to read the book at their own leisure.

Thank you, Indie Minnesota, for making me feel at home! I appreciate all of you. :)

The Making of Dual Mania Joins BiblioBoard Library (MN)

It was truly an honor to learn that "The Making of Dual Mania: Filmmaking Chicago Style," which I co-authored along with filmmaker Joseph Strickland and fellow writer B.J. Patterson, has moved into the library space on the BiblioBoard Library mobile and web platform. And it is indeed a great blessing.

Thank you, Indie Minnesota! We're so proud to be members of your library family. Hi, Cara! ;)

Mama, I Made It! Pt. 10

My dearest men and women, it genuinely pleases me to announce that my personal memoir, "Memoirs in Gogyohka," was recently selected by Califon Productions, Inc., the producer of Wheel of Fortune (affectionately dubbed America's Game), to be a puzzle solution in its "Title" category. And I am bowled over with honor as a result of it.

We didn't even know it went in, my assistant just found out about it a few days ago. But after receiving confirmation that the work was indeed selected in the aforementioned category, I couldn't help but be overjoyed: for I love the Wheel of Fortune (I always have and I always will), and I consider this to be a great blessing. Thank you, Califon Productions.

Yes, I'm still in shock.


Lovingly,

Cat Ellington 💋
