the pug with all the couture
// 2009.09.09I had such lovely responses to last month's post about what Merry was wearing to the wedding that I promoted it in our last Pampered Puppy newsletter. And WOW the responses! So many folks wrote in to comment about Merry's outfit and my upcoming nuptials, it was heartwarming and wonderful. I even received several emails from couture/formal pooch wear designers and retailers giving me the "aw shucks" because if they'd known, they could have designed or had designed for Merry a custom couture gown for the occasion.
*laughs* It's such a strange life I lead! I am incredibly blessed to have such wonderful readers and business relationships.
But honestly, Merry has enough couture. In fact, we were originally planning to have Merry wear one of her existing formal gowns - NINE of them, ahem - featured behind her in this photo. But when the simpler One Lucky Dog Couture tutu dress showed up on our doorstep, it seemed a nice way to go. And it was lovely. It also had one other major advantage:
It meant I could maybe be dressed more elegantly than the pug. For once, in our entire lives, I could have a nicer outfit. *laughs* Is that wrong?
However, I'm sure with her gorgeous eyes, big personality and FABULOUS blue tutu, she'll still end up stealing my thunder. :)
I did notice though that we almost have enough formal gowns to make an entire YEAR's worth of couture photos of the pug. What say you? Yay? Nay? (For 2010, we'll have our annual Merrylog calendar - it should be done soon - but I was thinking for next year, it might be fun to ALSO do a formalwear Merry calendar!)
LOVE the idea of formal wear! but if you do this, you also need to do a swimsuit calendar - pug in a two piece - lol!

A couture calendar? What a great idea! And no it's not wrong to want Merry to not upstage you on Your wedding day.
Blessings and Peace.

A formalwear calendar would be great. We could see Merry dressed to the 9's all year!
