Calling all Posers! (aka "Be the next Zoolander")
Yeah, we’re talking to you. Think you’re good looking, huh? Think your dog is too, eh? Well then have we got an opportunity for you. . .
We’re always on the lookout for fresh talent and there’s nothing more honest and captivating than real owners and their real dogs. If you think you’re a good looking duo (or trio or quadrupulo) then send us your best shot. If we pick you then you not only get to represent Paco Collars in future ad campaigns but you receive (insert drum roll here) free leather goods! (Well, free leather *good* of your choice and select photos from the shoot)
Here are the details:
- must be able to travel to studio or outdoor location (San Francisco Bay Area)
- exact dates TBA (one in late June, one in July)
- dog(s) must be comfortable in front of camera/new surroundings
- no age/breed/gender preference (however, kids under 18 must have permission from their parents/guardian)
- no need to previously own a Paco Collar, we will provide one for you
- ability to re-create “Blue Steel” a plus
There will be two shoots with 1-2 dog/owner groupings per shoot (so that’s 2-4 winners total, for those of us who are mathematically challenged).
Here’s what you do:
- E-mail a picture (or pictures) of you and your dog to pacocollars@yahoo.com or send hard copies (which cannot be returned) to P.O. Box 8482, Emeryville, CA 94662
- put “Star Search” in the title of the e-mail
- include contact info and June and July availability dates
- wait by the phone patiently, eating bon-bons until we summon you
See, it’s as easy as that. Now get out there on the catwalk and show us your stuff!
Paco turns 6. . . Fiesta Time!
It’s true, our own Paco, who serves as inspiration, mascot, and CEO of Paco Collars (hey, somebody’s gotta make the decisions) turns 6 years old this May 20.
When asked how he felt entering his prime, Paco had this to say, “Well, I’m less than enthused about the occasional grey hair popping up here and there, but generally I’m un-phased. That’s what they make ‘Just for Men TM’ for, right?
“Actually, I’m pretty comfortable about my age. I don’t make the same mistakes I used to, been there, done that, but I can still hang with the youngins without feeling too bad.”
When asked if his relationship with 11 month old Mabel was a stab at regaining his youth he corrected the interviewer, “Hey, don’t get me wrong. I love hanging out with Mae. She’s a lot of fun, but there’s nothing romantic going on. I hear she’s dating some dog named Marciano anyway.”
Lastly, Paco wanted to impart some words of wisdom to all the dogs out there, “My advice is this: if there’s something your owner doesn’t want you to have, all you have to do is wait until they’re not looking. Works every time.”
This year Paco is celebrating his birthday with an BBQ from 3-?, Sunday May 20, at his house. Everyone is welcome to attend, just email us at pacocollars@yahoo.com with “Paco’s BBQ” in the header for directions and details!
