This will seem more acceptable after a few Rin Tin Tinis.

Normally we don't support those who would dress up their dogs in fancy clothes. But we'll make an exception for tomorrow night's doggy fashion show at Top Dog Productions (1551 N. Kingsbury), if only because our own Bill Zwecker is emceeing the event. That, and the fact that the free party includes complimentary drinks (including "Rin Tin Tini" cocktails) and hors d'oeuvres (including human-friendly dog biscuits and "Dog Pound Cake," whatever that is). Yup, we're pretty easy to please.

The event promotes the launch of new dog fashion line, BARQUE, which will be available online and at Pawsh Puppies (2120 N. Halsted). To RSVP, call (312) 266-6683.
