Tibetan costume

While organizing some photos, preparing for the Library of Memories class I’ve signed up for this spring, I came across these two photos of my friends Julie and Susan. Susan wore it at Meet The Breeds, held during the December 2007 AKC Eukanuba Classic, a televised event you may have seen. I think the classic airs on Animal Planet, including select dog shows held throughout the year. Julie wore it when we presented the Gompa dogs at the 2004 National Specialty in St. Louis. Pat Keen-Fernandez is Keeper of the Costume. There are elements of it that are authentic; others simply for an authentic aura.
