Z – Zoological Accessories
I feel sorry for these poor dogs that get carried around in peoples handbags, I know they’re ugly, look stupid and seem to have more in common with rats than man’s best friend but that doesn’t mean they need to be tortured by being carried in some celebrity’s designer handbag around shops and chic restaurants where it’s the place ‘to be seen’. It wouldn’t surprise me that during a day out this designer handbag/miniscule dog carry case becomes filled with the dogs ‘opinion’, after being fed all day and hardly let out in between lunch at the Ivy and shopping on Rodeo Drive. I’m not even sure what inspired people to begin carrying these ‘dogs’ around. Obviously you can tell I’m not a fan but that’s not to say I would do anything to one of these dogs if I saw them, although I would be tempted to drop-kick them, maybe the celebrity owner too (any RSPCA/animal rights activists reading, don’t fear I won’t actually do this, but I can’t say the same for the celebrity). Also since celebrities began accessorising themselves with small animals this then became priority news in all those god-awful gossip magazines and now the general public has adopted (pun intended) this trend. Even men have begun to adapt this predominantly female style approach and they look even more idiotic, especially when the bloke is built like an Olympic weight lifter.
Exceptions where this faux pas is acceptable
When you get a real dog and don’t keep it in a handbag.
