A star is born

    Impromptu photo shoot after my new haircut was revealed:

 

 

 

 

Raver

If you watch this space attentively, or unattentively but with a magnifying glass, you may have noticed that I've been wearing a new light-blue collar recently. 

A gift from a friend, my new collar has a special feature: With the press of a thumb on its battery unit, it emits a flashing or solid neon light.  It comes in very handy at night when I step out for my evening pee.

 

 Below is a slow-motion video of my first pee using the illuminated collar: 

 

Trial piercing

It was either this or a tattoo. 

Magic pose

Nearly a decade ago, Jamie Lee Curtis posed for an amazing photo spread in More magazine.  The spread showed Jamie Lee first in her plain-Jane skivvies, then looking glamorous after thirteen assistants had worked for three hours on makeup, lighting, and wardrobe.  

 

Here we have a similar set of photos.  On the left:  Me and Magic looking glamorous. Below, the back story: raw footage of our preparation for the photo shoot.   

The article accompanying the More photos quotes Jamie Lee as saying, "I’m trying really hard to take the veil off the fraud, to be real, to start with me."  

That's what I'm trying to do as well.  I don't want people to see photos of perfect Lambie and be discouraged thinking that my photogeneity is effortless and unattainable.

The dog not invited

     
    The dog not invited is me.

The event I was not invited to was the pre-prom send-off.

I realize that my exclusion was not personal -- no other dogs were invited either.  But when I saw the photos of the good time enjoyed by Penni, a dog who was present at the event by virtue of her position as in-house family member, I couldn't help but feel a pang of envy.

Looking at the photos I also find myself in awe of Penni's hairdo and blow-out, as well as her impeccable manners.  She's a prototypically well-maintained Brentwood matron.

Socializing at Society of the Spectacle

     We went to pick up some new eyeglasses at Society of the Spectacle.        

    I was prepared to have to wait outside, but this turned out to be an emporium very friendly to those of my ilk.  The resident dog -- Violet by name -- welcomed me and actually brought out one of her toys to share.  

    It was a fun outing for me.  And the glasses looked good, too.    

 

    On the way home I rested and reflected on Violet's generous nature.

 

Considering new hairdo

    Intrigued by the enthusiasm of Justin Bieber's huge fan base of 'Beliebers', my style advisors and I have been studying Justin's hairdo and mannerisms to see whether I might want to adopt them.

        Although Justin's definitely got a cool look, we've pretty much concluded that the 'fringe' haircut would not work well with either the shape of my face or the texture of my hair.  

    You've got to watch it with trends -- not every one is appropriate for every individual.   As a famous bard -- was it Justin Bieber? -- once wrote, "To thine own self be true."

Cult of Lambie spreads

    An unsolicited photo from a fan has given me the idea that maybe I should look into setting up some Lambie memorabilia with CafePress.  I want my base to have easy access to mementos of me.  

    A T-shirt might be nice, with my image and perhaps an inspiring motto like "What would Lambie do?" or "Guided by Lambie."

Halloween is in the air

Trudie started us off in a festive mood by identifying an orange mushroom growing out of a tree.

Around the same time, Willy started wearing his pumpkin outfit almost daily.

Then, this weekend, he acquired a natty new costume.  

 

He's a hot dog.

       
 I'm not much of a dog for dressing up, myself.
 

I leave the flash to the other guys.
