The High Maintenance Bitch (Owner's Manual): It's Not About Being a Dog, It's About Being a Bitch [Paperback]

Lori Pacchiano (Author), Ryan Pacchiano (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 21, 2006

Sister and brother team Lori and Ryan Pacchiano founded High Maintenance Bitch in 2002. Their goal was to create a line of fashionable clothing, accessories, furniture, grooming products, and more for the chic canine. The Pacchianos’ success uncovered a previously unnoticed obsession among socialites — and socialite wannabes — with making their four-legged companions as stylish as they are. Utilizing their fashion and humor sensibilities, the authors have prepared this witty guide to raising a poufed-up pup. It’s all here, including how to accessorize Fidette and learning commands in different languages, to how to maintain one’s own fabulousness while cleaning up “twinkle sparkle” (their terminology), to using Princess as a date facilitator for that handsome hunk. Practical information filigrees the fun, whether it’s instituting a slimming “Rex-ercise Regimen” or training her to keep her cold, wet nose out of people’s “business.” Included are more than 100 illustrations inspired by fabulous fashion website DailyCandy.

I tell you, if Elle and lil'Bruiser Woods could jump out of the big screen and sit down to pen a book this would bit it! I can hear Reese Witherspoon's voice right now narrating it. Have fun reading this kitsche find and maybe you'll find yourself making a fake-out service dog vest for your little poochie soon.

The High Maintenance Bitch (Owner's Manual) was the perfect gift for the perfect bitch. I went to a puppy shower for a chihuahua who is absolutely spoiled by her spoiled owner who just wears pink. I previewed the book before gifting it. It was hilarious! I went to Amazon actually to look for a feather boa through the High Maintenance Bitch business I heard about it on Bravo. I ran across this book which was even better!
