“We’re all about Fashion, Fun & Fundraising”
G Girls is a perfect fit for Atlanta GirlZ Club. We attended our first G Girl event at the Omni Hotel in Charlotte, North Carolina last fall. The “Magnolia Masquerade Ball” was spectacular in every way! G Girls’ elements of charity and fundraising greatly appealed to me as fundraising is at the heart of Atlanta GirlZ Club. Pampered, stylish pups, or “Dog-U-Tantes” as I have personally nicknamed couture doggies, and their pet paWrents from all over the country showed up for a chic, three-day event. Our furbabies were welcomed everywhere! The first day, we were driven via a luxury chauffeured van to a wonderful wine tour and luncheon. Everyone, especially our furbabies, dressed in their best garden party finery.

event held at the beautiful Abacoa Country Club in Juniper, Florida. A judged runway competition was the centerpiece of the evening which also included an elegant buffet dinner, cocktails and high-end raffle prizes. As in Charlotte, furbabies were served Dog Pawrignon champagne and organic chicken and veggie plates. Once again, designer Barbara Merrifield (Bark N Boujee) created breathtakingly stunning cotillion gowns and gorgeous princess crowns for Lucy and Holly. While both GirlZ wowed the judges and rocked the runway in their dazzling, Swarovski and jewel encrusted gowns, Holly brought home the “Duchess” trophy. In keeping with G Girls’ charitable component, thousands of dollars were raised for Canine Shelter Rescue of North Augusta, SC. The world of competitive pet fashion events is growing quite rapidly. A great deal of time, energy, a love of couture pet fashion and a passion for our furbabies goes into this level of fundraising. Atlanta GirlZ Club and G Girls invite everyone in the pet community to come to these marvelous events. There is a strong sense of community. People attend not only for friendly competition, but to visit with their pageant friends, all while getting a mega dose of couture pet fashion and, mostly, to raise funds for rescues.

The Magnolia Masquerade Ball was an elegant gala with everyone dressed in chic formal attire. A lavish G Girl ice sculpture greeted attendees at the ballroom entrance. Everyone enjoyed signature cocktails and a seated, full course dinner with music by master DJ, Bumi Benjamin. Furbabies were also served individually plated meals of organic chicken and fresh veggies, along with Dog Pawrignon champagne and doggie cake for dessert. Of course, oodles of fashion were the main attraction, as it is with all the G Girl runway shows, complete with fashion industry judges and trophies. Rob Sayegh, President and Founder of R World Media, Ltd. and his film crew were present filming all of the events, as well as conducting private interviews with Atlanta GirlZ Club and others. For the private judging and runway competition, Lucy and Holly wore magnificent ball gowns and headpieces created by popular couture designer Barbara Merrifield, owner of Bark N Boujee®. Lucy won high honors and a lovely trophy for “Second Heir to the Throne.” Best of all, lots of money was raised for a canine rescue group in Charlotte. Earlier this year, we traveled to south Florida for G Girls’ Glitz & Glamour Homecoming Dance. Atlanta GirlZ Club was honored to be a silver sponsor for the event. This was a two-day fashion
