You’ve invested in matching outfits, share the same bed, and carry them around in self-made puppy Bjorn. Now it’s time to commit, to make the ultimate display of devotion to your furry companion: transforming your grooming routine to achieve corresponding owner-animal looks.
From the simple bulldog to the elaborate poodle, below are some grooming techniques that can be adapted to show the upmost loyalty to your furry (or feathered) significant other.
Poodle: If you’re blessed with naturally curly hair, you’re halfway to matching owner/pet bliss. Not so fortunate? Looks like a curly perm is in your future. Remember, tighter is better when adapting this fro-ed out hairdo, and any frizz is more than welcomed to imitate your poodle’s curl. Finish the do with clips, bows, and ribbons, both in your pet’s mane and yours, to fully round out the
matching looks.
Afghan Hound: For this style, it’s all about locks fit for lounging poolside or strutting around high-end fashion districts across the world. We’re looking for sleek and glossy here, with the help of a blow dryer and enough keratin treatment to slick up the huskiest of swimsuit models. Don’t forget the most important accessory to fully complete your Afghan hound intimidation: an upturned nose and holier-than-tho attitude that can make even the queen of England feel like an inferior, acne-ridden schoolgirl.
Rooster: Now that backyard farming has the a-ok in Denver, I know one of you out there is nurturing a male fowl in the rooster pen outside. Imitate your big bird on the block with your own mate-attracting tail feathers. A tall mohawk, striking black boa, or feathered headpiece all will do the trick, as long as it gets the message across: “I’m large, in charge, and not afraid to show off the big cock at
my house.”
English Bulldog: This look is more about corresponding style than an actual physical reproduction. Scour the contents of your grandfather’s wardrobe and medicine cabinet, pulling anything and everything with the faint odor of mothballs, hair oil, and hard peppermints. Facial hair is a must for this distinguished look, which can include a Santa beard or a curled-cornered mustache. Top the outfit with a tweed jacket, hunting cap, or walking cane — preferably all three — and you and your distinguished walking companion will thoroughly charm your way through the daily chip-cheerios and how-you-dos. ′
