  • America’s Next Top Dog Model: Missy Paulette

    Look at the wonderful photos one of my readers, the fabulous Westie lover Monica McLaughlin (no relation), sent me — not just dog art, but dog on art.  Truly a bit of brilliant performance art. 

    I just love Missy Paulette's focus during the shoot.  She is a real professional and definitely deserves the title of America's Next Top Dog Model.  Fierce!  ….as Tyra would say.

    Photos taken last fall at New York Presbyterian Hospital.  Statue is Mediterranea III by Martin Chirino, 1969, a gift of Carol and Howard Holtzman.

    BTW, if you're in the Manhattan area looking for events to attend with your pup this summer, visit Monica's Plans for Pups, an online magazine dedicated to the promotion and review of select dog-related activities in and around NYC.

  • Matchbox Label T-shirts

    The_dog_blog

    Hello, my name is Moira and I’m a phillumenist.

    phil·lu·men·ist \fi-_lü-m_-nist\ n. One who collects matchbooks or matchbox labels.

    It happened for me almost immediately when I discovered Jane McDevitt’s collection of Eastern European mid-century matchbox labels on Flickr. From there, I moved on to ebay where I bought eight dog-themed labels from a Dutch dealer named Stampede. Now, I’m shouting it out to the world and I don’t care who hears. I love matchbox labels!

    If you do too, here are some of my favorites that I put on a line of t-shirts, sweatshirts, kids and baby clothes that you might enjoy.

    Black_dog_t_shirt

    The Dog vintage matchbox label from India. Women’s long sleeved black t-shirt.

    Swedish_dog_t_shirt

    The Swedish Dog matchbox label men’s t-shirt. I love the Shepard Fairey style. Or maybe Shepard Fairey has a Swedish Dog matchbox style.

    Poodle_t_shirt

    Three Poodles matchbox label from Sweden. Again, it’s got a little Fairey in it. This pink t-shirt would be great for Valentine’s day!

    Laika_t_shirt

    Laika the Russian space dog vintage matchbox label on a kids baseball jersey.

    Scottie_westie_onesie_2

    Adorable Scottie and Westie onesie with The Dog brand vintage matchbox label from Macau.
