I remember the first time I met Carla. She had a big purse with a little chihuahua head sticking out of it. Everywhere Carla went, Chloe went. Chloe may be a special dog, but Carla is an extra special dog owner. Chloe has graced the cover of pet magazines, been on TV shows, and won numerous pet and costume contests. Carla and Chloe live the life of stars within the dog costume community.
I had no idea there was a community until I met them. This is when I first learned about pet costumes, pet costume shows, and pet costume contests.

Carla knows all of the dog clothing websites in and out. She knows what dog clothing sucks, what’s good, and what needs to be manufactured according to upcoming trends. She can critique each major dog clothing website in detail and has created business plans for her own dog clothing website. That is hardcore dedication and passion.  She taught me that buying a pet costume is not enough, it is just the beginning.  Once you decide on a piece of clothing, you have to plan the accessories.  Not only nails and headwear for the dog, but details of your own clothing to match!  That’s what puts you ahead of the crowd and on top of the game.

They were fun to hang out with. Carla is a pretty attractive chick and usually has a drink in her hand. Chloe is an equally attractive chihuahua. With her nails always painted and usually wearing some kind of ahead of the trend doggie clothing.
Before I forget, you can check out Carla’s blog at Mediocrity Mockery and Chloe’s Myspace.

Carla and Chloe are the inspiration for this website and the only reason I have made any costumes or clothing for my own cat and dogs.  Though they have moved from the Big D to the Big Apple, they’re canine costume inspirations are just a click away.

So there you have it, there’s my muse in the pet costume niche.  Chloe and Carla and the most hardcore, bad ass, dedicated and motivational duo I have ever met, in any area of interest.
