Purple People Eaters?

So apparently there's grooming and then there's GROOMING. As the photos illustrate, Intergroom, a three day event for dog groomers that must be paramount to the Grooming Olympics, was held last weekend and these are just a handful of the creative coifs participating groomers created for their dogs.

Trust me, nothing was held back--dye, glitter, carving into fur, sculpting dogs to resemble other animals (dragons were big). For the full photo show check out the article from the New York Times.

And lest you worry that all the fuss and fluff was not in the best interests of those being groomed, I offer you this rationalization from the emcee of the event, Teri DiMario: ""All they know is that people are paying attention to them. They love it."

Enough said.
