Fashions
PALM BEACH, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Large and tiny, plump and svelte, longhaired and hairless,
deep-throated and yappy, dozens of dogs dressed in an outrageous array
of cutting-edge canine fashions joined Snoopy and celebrities onstage
in Palm Beach, Florida on Saturday afternoon, as "The Easter Beagle
Presents Canine Couture" fashion show celebrated the release of a
newly remastered DVD deluxe edition of "It's the Easter Beagle,
Charlie Brown" from Warner Home Video.

Actress Kelly Rutherford and actor Matthew Settle of the CW's
Gossip Girl, Settle's actress-wife Naama Nativ (appearing this June in
Adam Sandler's You Don't Mess with the Zohan) and larger-than-life
style guru J. Alexander of America's Next Top Model joined Snoopy in
the fashion show, with Rutherford, Settle and Nativ strutting the
catwalk with their own pet dogs: Rutherford's beloved rescue dog,
Oliver, and Settle and Nativ's Pomeranian Jackie O and Chihuahua Zoe.

"I've been a Snoopy fan for years, and now I have a 1 1/2-year-old
son who loves Snoopy almost as much as I do, so I was thrilled to join
the fun today," said Rutherford, who plays wealthy socialite Lily van
der Woodsen on Gossip Girl. "My son, Hermes, was so excited to meet
the Easter Beagle, and my dog, Oliver, was delighted to play a
starring role in the show!"

The event was also a chance to spread an important and timely
health message as Easter--and chocolate Easter eggs--approach: Dog
owners should never let their pups eat chocolate; the sweet treat is a
health threat to man's best(-dressed) friend.

"We're real dog people, so to be onstage with Snoopy and help get
out this important health message was the best of all worlds for us,"
said Matthew Settle, who plays Rufus Humphrey on Gossip Girl. Adds
Nativ, "Now we just have to hope that Jackie O and Zoe don't demand
their own trailers when we get back home!"

Wearing a bedazzled "I Believe in the Easter Beagle" tee, J.
Alexander set the style tone for the afternoon. Dogs and their human
companions displayed 30 different fashion statements--from miniature
canine suits of armor to Chinese silk robes; "diamond" tiaras to pearl
necklaces; suits and ties to cocktail gowns. (The humans looked good,
too.)

"I've seen a few dogs in my fashion career, but they've never been
as good-looking as the ones I saw today," added Alexander. "And I'm
glad we're getting the message out that chocolate is death to models,
especially those of the canine variety. Good health is always the most
important fashion accessory."

"The Easter Beagle Presents Canine Couture" was sponsored by
Warner Home Video, which recently released a newly re-mastered DVD of
"It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown." This deluxe version features
updated packaging and all new special features including a bonus
episode: "It's Arbor Day, Charlie Brown" and an original featurette,
"In Full-Bloom: Peanuts at Easter."
