Capote Wins Best of Show at Big City Little Dog Fashion Show!
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, Mr. 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 Mr. Capote and for more moments in the spotlight. Stay up-to-date with Capote's rise to fame by checking back at DefineLust.com for continuing coverage.
