Yesterday, at the ASPCA's "America's Next Top Dog" event, a pit-mix named Cali was crowned with $1 worth of Chopard diamonds. The doggie fashion competition was all done in order to promote the Bergh Ball, a benefit for the ASPCA which will be attended by Dylan Lauren, Nicole Miller and Isaac Mizrahi. Stay tuned for Fashion Geek's coverage of a water skiing squirrel ...

After the STAERK show at Scandinavia house, the party began. If you haven't heard of Denmark native Camilla Staerk's label, you need to check it out. Classic looks were given a noir treatment with leather and lace; it was all very dark, sexy, stark and structually inventive (take a look at her Fall 2008 collection here).

Gen Art, who presented the show, made sure to keep the party going upstairs. The bartenders were, how you say, very generous. Thus, fun was had. The evidence:

Duckie Brown knows how to throw a party. Last night at Tenjune, we checked out the scene and the free Peroni.

Is it surprising that a museum such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art has caught on to the trend of fashion blogging? The latest exhibition by the Costume Institute, blog.mode: addressing fashion opens today, providing for the first time in the MET's history an open discourse between fashion, museum curators and the public.

The exhibit features recent acquisitions from the department since 2000, supplying the usual dosage of Worth, Schiaparelli, Chanel, YSL, Westwood, Dior, McQueen and Yamamoto but also presenting new designers, such as Rodarte and Olivier Theyskens. At the center of the exhibit is a blog bar of eight computers, encouraging gallery viewers and fashion bloggers from home to input their two cents on fashion, design, trends and museology.

The blog will focus on a new ensemble or object from the exhibition a day and bloggers from yesterday's press previews are already discussing the exhibition's highlights and down falls.

One viewer writes, "it's entirely validating to see a world that has long been accused of elitism and antiquity wholeheartedly embrace the democracy of the blog. Fashion is in fact a truly subjective art, and regardless of a designer’s intended message, each wearer (or in this case, viewer) forms their own intimate connection with a garment. What a brilliant way to open a discourse and allow the public's opinion to be heard …"
