By the way, I am not affiliated with GW Little...Just passing this along

Sounds like fun! Wish I wasn't so far away!

If Miss Q goes...she will have it in the bag!!!!

That sounds like soooo much fun! Thanks for the head's up!!! The Biewer show is the same day...oh no!!!! I wish I could go to the Biewer thing on Saturday and this on Sunday, but I already have plans on Saturday. Hmmm...decisions, decision!!! Thanks for the info though!

Hey Lisa,

Me too. But I'm in the Biewer show.....so may be we can do the GW try-outs next year.....

Well...in that case...I should definitely go this year :p !!!! As adorable as my Sukoshi is (of course...I may be a little biased, but I think she's just the cutest), your babies are all so beautiful, that I don't know if we'd want you for our competition :rolleyes: :eek: :D !!!!

Well, I e-mailed the people in charge of the event the night I found this thread to see if I was too late to enter Sukoshi in this year's event (their website said the registration deadline was August 20th), and they e-mailed back last night and said to go ahead and enter her. So...I did...and she won 2ND PLACE (out of about 30 small dogs)!!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't be more pleased. 1st place went to an adorable, tiny chiguagua (she probably didn't even weigh 2 pounds!!!!). So, we didn't get the "cover model" spot, but we just went for fun, and the $200 gift certificate we got made the trip well worth it. They made the "contestants" walk the runway twice, and then on the last trip down, they had to sit and look over their shoulder in the "famous" model pose. It was great to watch all of them attempt it, even if they didn't quite get it down. And, the GW people wanted our contact info, so who knows...maybe they'll still decide they want Sukoshi for some "modeling" for inside the catalog. So..."KathyinCali"...thanks so much for this thread!

(And Dee...sorry I didn't make it to the Biewer event. We did wave at you guys as we drove by on the 60, but we opted for this since it was something we could actually participate in. How'd your Biewers do?!?!?!)

Yay Sukoshi!!!
 

Lisa,

That is too freakin' cool!!! :thumbup: How awesome! :D Will she get to be in any pages of the catalog?

Congratulations to you and Sukoshi. And wtg on the $200 gift certificate. You can get about 2 things with that ;)

Lisa,

That is so great. I am so happy that you went and participated and came in 2nd--I want to see Suckoshi in the GW catalog. I do. I want to help you spend the $200 gift certificate too. LOL

Oh what wonderful news Lisa . . .I bet you were beaming with pride on little Suloshi :thumbup: Did they have to be dressed up in a GW Little outfit or were they modelling naked :p

Were there any pictures taken when they were walking on the ramp :thumbup: hope you can share some :)

btw, do you have to be an LA resident to sign up?

$200 sure is awesome . . happy shopping :thumbup:

:congrats:OMG!! Lisa, your little Sukoshi is now a SUPER MODEL!!! Can I have her autograph the next time I see her? I'll settle for a skosh....

Well, the GW people wanted our contact info, so you never know...they may call for the INSIDE of the catalog, even though we didn't get the front cover. Even if they don't, it was a lot of fun to enter her!

I know! I just love showing her off, so I think it would be so fun to see her "in print" in a catalog! Guess we'll wait and see! And spending the gift certificate ought to be fun in the meantime!!!

They weren't required to wear a GW outfit, but they were supposed to wear something "couture" - a similar style to GW Little's clothing line. I went to their website to see what they considered "couture", and lucky for us, Sukoshi already had one of the dresses from their website (although we bought it from Muttropolis in Newport Beach...not GW Little :eek: ). So, that was "hands down" the dress she was going to wear!!!

I did have Matt take a couple pics of her "modeling"...

Attachment 144305 Posing like the model she knows she is :D !

No, you don't have to be an LA resident to sign up because I'm not an LA resident!!! I don't even live in LA County!! You just have to be available to go to Thousand Oaks on a separate day for the cover model photo shoot if you win 1st place.

Yea...it was such a fun day out! Sukoshi got to lick lots of dogs AND show her stuff for the judges! After her first pass down the runway, she shook her body (like when they're trying to dry off or something), and I said, "That's right...fluff the hair for the judges", and the announcer laughed and said "Make-up!!!!" like she was in Hollywood. It was hilarious!
