T: Is for Totally Tacky!

For the past week I worked for a company called Firefly at the accessory show. Their jewelry radiates an aura that comes with beautiful artistry matched with iridescent crystals catching the light. This is a company with a soul. Using talented artisans from Guatemala they provide bright, cheerful working space along with a fair wage. As I walked around I turned my head and it looked like an alligator swallowed a dog. If that wasn't disturbing enough, the next one looked like a snake collapsed it's jaws for another. As I looked closer I realized it was a line of canine pooch bags. If they had been for children I would of said "How Cute!". The furry ones would be adorable for a avid female dog lover if she were under 15. This lines motto is “forget men—dogs are a women’s best friend!” From that you get the idea that this is a line for women whom men have forgotten. Sometimes I think we take our like to such an extreme that it becomes laughable. These purses have bendable legs to allow you to pose your fuzzy friend at your side. Unzip the bone-shaped zipper and enclose your belongings for safe keeping. If you can't face leaving the house without your beloved pet here is another solution and at least there's no poop to scoop. They’re the only puppies that’ll cost you nothing to feed and won’t nibble the furniture.

Fashion week is coming so never mind the catwalk, meet the dogwalk where these bags put the ‘Bow!’ as well as the ‘Wow!’ in must have accessories. Canine character bags have already been spotted amongst the designer accessories on show at Milan Fashion Week (all top pedigree, of course). These chic accessories are truly loyal to the needs of their fashionista owners.

If this weren't enough they also come in hats, boots and other accessories. I guess what one person finds fashion others laugh till they cry at the ridiculousness of it all and that is a F.A.C.T.
