Who needs to be tamed? From left: Ring master Katie Griffin, casting producer, can do the job. Ian Michael Crumm, fashion blogger (he's channeling a young Karl Lagerfeld and his cat, Choupette. He tweeted a photo to Choupette, who has his own account, and the cat retweeted him). And Rapunzel Katie English, a PR professional.
