Okay fashion show staff, times are hard, and we need to save more money.
We tried using dead models, but it turns out they don’t last long in the bright lights. We hired raccoons to do makeup, but there was that rabies problem.
Now, we think we have the perfect solution to the high cost of hair stylists: dog groomers!
People, there is no downside here. Groomers can work with all kinds of hair, they have a good repertoire of styles and they know how to deal with temperamental personalities.
Best of all, they already have all their own combs and brushes!
Let me demonstrate how this is going to work - the first batch of models is already out of the tubs and ready for the runway, so let’s have a look.
Say, is it just me, or do the models seem to be scratching a lot today?

Do you know what kind of treats they feed the models?

That’s a good girl! Yes she is! Yes she is!
Thinking back a few years ago, didn’t a German Short Haired retriever actually take a dump on the runway at the Westminster Dog and Pony Fashion Show?
This, after winning Best of Show, no less?
