Capote Wins!

I am very excited to announce that my little pup Capote won the Best of Show at the Big City Little Dog Fashion Show that took place on February 11th at the New Yorker Hotel. It was a surprise to us that we were invited to compete, nonetheless win. Capote wore a prep school sweater with hat, and to coordinate I wore a dark grey sweater dress that I had found on a Marshall’s rack.

When we arrived at the event, it was quite the spectacle. I saw many different types of dogs and they were all too cute. The paparazzi were in full action. My little Capote couldn't get a moment's break once he was introduced to the room. He was being flanked from every corner for pictures; all I could do was not get in his way nor overshadow the little guy. I felt like a celebrity parent.

The fashion show was awesome. There were different celebrities, each with their fashionable pooch. Backstage was interesting because the dogs were catered to and dolled-up in advance of their stroll down the runway. It felt like the panic before a Marc Jacobs show (just with smaller and cuter models). It was both impressive and exciting.

We competed against other adorable little Yorkies who were "professional" show dogs. My Capote, one of the few amateurs of the evening, strutted his stuff on stage and stole the crowd. I had the chance to rock the runway as Capote's "handler". We walked up and down the runway three times before the crowd voted by cheering for their favorite. When the cheers were counted, Capote was the unanimous winner. We won a 2-night stay hotel package to the New Yorker Hotel and tickets for two to the renowned Westminster Dog Show at Madison Square Garden.

This might just very well be the start for Capote and for more moments in the spotlight. Stay up-to-date with Capote's rise to fame by checking back at Define Lust.com for continuing coverage.

We would like to thank the members of the Big City Little Dog, New Yorkie Fashions, Angels on a Leash, the New Yorker Hotel and the Westminster Dog Show.

Tonight, Fashion Week goes to the dogs!

Before Westminster crowns best in show over at Madison Square Garden, across the street at the New Yorker hotel, there’s a chance for regular old dogs to strut their stuff. Tonight's event is the Big City Little Dog Fashion show, part of the Westminster Dog Show. The fashion show is a fundraiser for Angel on a Leash, which trains therapy dogs for sick children and seniors.

I will be attending this event with my little pup Capote. Hopefully, we can make our way down the runway. He's too cute to resist.

Since it is a fashion show, finding the right outfit is key, more importantly for Capote since this is a fashion show for him and his friends. I think I know exactly what we'll wear.

Stay tuned for updates on the show itself and if Capote and I made it on the stage. I know some of you have not seen my pup, Capote yet, soon you will see him in all his cuteness glory.

If anyone will be in the NYC area on tonight, stop by the New Yorker Hotel for the Big City Little Dog Fashion show and meet Fashion's best dressed on four legs!
