On my way home from a holiday visit in Pittsburgh I was driving through the Oakland section of the city where several Universities such as Pitt and Carnegie Mellon are situated. Along the side of the street there was a 40-ish looking woman out walking her dog on the very mild day in April. The sun was shining and the early spring chill was out of the air.
Now here is where thing get silly. The dog was a black poodle with all the foo-foo fur trimming that leaves little balls of fur on his feet, neck, tail, etc. We have not gotten to the silly part yet.
The woman who was walking this poodle was wearing black pants and black shirt. Her black boots had fuzzy black pom-poms surrounding her ankles like a hairy fetlock. On the cuffs of the sleeves of her shirt she had similar fuzzy accoutrement. Now with all this "style" already in full regalia, to top it all off, her dark hair was up in a tight curl perm. To say her dog looked just like her would be an error of who looked like whom. She obviously patterned herself after the dog after having the dog shaved.
