“Ideas are not inventions, they are discoveries.”- Leah Busque
Judge of Style
This is a post about canines and couture. After attending the Leatherstocking Cluster Fall Dog Show on Friday, we were not only impressed by the breeds and the training, but also by the style exhibited by the breeders and owners. Most participants were impeccably attired in designer gear, and some looked ready for runways themselves. From our conversations with judges and others, this chic fashion sense has always been a part of these shows. Maybe if the breeders don’t look good, the dogs won’t look (so) good.

Moe was the Best in Show winner at Ring 1 at the NYS Fairgrounds on Friday.
We have to thank Jen from Niagara Falls, who talked to us about the rules and regulations for dog show competitions. Also Jan Paulk gave us some insight into what the judges look for during the contests. Moe (pictured above) was born in Russia and will celebrate his fourth birthday on December 12, 2013 (not pictured, his son Pickles).
Moe is examined by AKC Judge Jan Paulk.

Millwood on the attack (from 2003) during a Salty Dogs game at Liverpool Stadium.
The Syracuse Silver Knights announced today that former Syracuse Salty Dog and Baltimore Blast player and champion Machel Millwood will be joining their squad, and re-uniting with former teammate and now coach Tommy Tanner. Millwood was a crowd favorite when he kicked off his pro career with the Salty Dogs a decade ago. He is best remembered for his hustle and heavy footed, thunderous shots on goal.
Hopefully, the younger players on the squad will glean from Millwood’s championship experience.

This was good conversation on the Melissa Harris-Perry Show about bullying, hazing, sports and prosthetic masculinity. The roundtable featured two former quarterbacks, one of whom just happens to be a Syracuse University legend.

Shawn Wayans, Finesse Mitchell and Marlon Wayans at Syracuse University.
Shawn and Marlon Wayans (aka the Wayans Bros.) along with Finesse Mitchell and newcomer Spoken Reasons played a show at Syracuse over the weekend. In addition to their 1990s sit-com the Wayans Bros. are also film producers and directors.
Saturday’s show was a fundraiser for the Syracuse Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. The fraternity historically brings some great comics to campus (such as D.L. Hughley and John Witherspoon).
And in case you are in the mood for a family reunion, it was also announced recently that the first generation of Wayans Bros. (Damon and Keenan) will team up with Shawn and Marlon next year to do a series of stand up shows.
Spoken Reasons at Syracuse University: Making a name for himself.
