It was a grand day of festivities for our furry little friends on Monday in honor of Rescue Dogs Rocks NYC, a charitable endeavor for abused dogs who need rescuing, produced by Chance TV. I dared to come out of modeling retirement for a great cause for the second time. Devoted friends and fellow supporters came from far and wide to offer their time, funds, and services to help further this great cause. Yours truly, me, dressed up in one of the most vibrant gowns fresh off the incomparable Cesar Galindo’s recent NYFW show, sashayed down the runway, gold hand fan in hand, accompanied by my dear friend Fahria’s dog Cheech, the cutest 4 legged date ever! The fête had a wide array of selections of dogs from the tiniest to the biggest. Other notables on hand to support the cause were model Alex Lundqvist and his beautiful wife Keytt, former Dutch model, actress, television personality Frederique Van Der Wal, and her family, Lindsay Lohan’s mother Dina Lohan and her sister Aliana, Lara Eurdolian and her dog Charlie Wink, and so many other bold name staples of New York City social life.
Nine year old Ezra spotting a remarkable and impressive mohawk was the youngest model. My then 6 year old daughter Noa had the honor last year summer to walk the show.
The robot dog almost stole the show, captivating the audience with automated remote control. It navigated its way about like a professional fashion model, following prompt commands and reactions. The opportunity offered a glimpse into the future of fashion runway models. Forget about AI taking over the digital age, automated robots have been reported in Asia as the new labor force at cashiers, waitressing in restaurants, gas stations, et.al. And what about human runway models? I’m clutching my invisible pearls!
The event was proudly sponsored by Petco who not only supported but also gifted ample supplies of dog treats to the guests for their dogs. Curious Elixirs offered delectable libations, while Ideal Glass Studios generously offered their vast prime location in the West Village in New York City for the occasion. Other sponsors were Paws.At.Peace, Get Joy Food & Marcy’s Pet Kitchen, and Mr. Pickles Gin, who equally devotes time to rescuing animals.
