Dressed To The Canines
Two Irishmen came up with the brilliant idea of starting a "lifestyle" magazine for self-involved, princessy, prissy dog-obsessed women...like me! Brian Lavery writes in The New York Times about The New York Dog, a glossy scheduled to start publishing in autumn, and intended to nuzzle up on newsstand shelves to Vogue and Cosmopolitan:
"Instead of talking about women's fashion, we're talking about dogs' fashion," said Mr. O'Doherty in an interview from his office. Following the lead of other magazines, The New York Dog will feature dog horoscopes and obituaries, dog dieting tips and pop psychology advice for dogs.In the interest of fairness, the magazine also expects to have an alternative view on its subject. The longtime New York journalist Jimmy Breslin, who does not like dogs, will write a column to be titled "The Back Yard."
Allow me to propose a candidate for cover girl. For every cover. What kind of dog is she? Why, an attention hound, of course.
