Pupscouts Hollywood Red Carpet Dog Fashion Show

I loved adding my glamour to the annual Pupscouts Hollywood Red Carpet Dog Fashion Show at 225 East 57th Street, Midtown Manhattan, New York City on 2/10/2018.  Since 2018, according to Chinese Lunar Astrology, is The Year of the Dog, Asian dragons and acrobats also added to theme of the evening.  And in keeping with show biz tradition, "Joan Rivers" (impersonated by Linda Axelrod) greeted guests on the red carpet with interview questions.  This all gave new meaning to the phrase "Bitch stole my look!" 

Here is an article about the event I wrote for the Urban Animals Magazine:
