I hope the paparazzi don't recognize me ... some days a girl just wants to swing at the park without it ending up in the tabloids. Maybe I need to get some sunglasses and ditch signature coat.

What's hot for 2005? It's Cocker Spaniel fur trim!! Trixie looked FABULOUS on the runway.

What's out? Shabby Chic
What's in? Spaniel Chic

Only problem is it makes your nose all itchy.

Tonight on VH1's Behind the Blog...

Prime Time Live goes one on one with the most famous toddlers in the world and delivers the real scoop on Trixie MacNeill.

"Diva-In-Training"...maybe no one will notice I'm sucking my thumb behind this great fur.

Things All Girls Learn:

The Guilt Trip: age 9
The Whine: age 5
The Death Glare: 18mo.

"Dad, you're embarrassing me!"

“Detective Trixie”

This picture makes me think Ingrid Bergman in the Humphrey Bogart movie “Casablanca” – she has that mysterious, but beautiful look.

"Agent Mills -- do you copy?"

Something stinks, must have peed myself again.

You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Then who the heck else are you talkin' to? You talkin' to me? Well, I'm the only one here. Oh, yeah? Ok. Huh?

No caption, but I keep hearing the theme from "The Sting."

spaniel chic! I love that!

Trixie is suffering from "wookie-itis," and rare and painfully humiliating condition where she has begun to grow fur all over her body except for the face and hands.

At a certain point, all the fame and bright lights caught up to Trixie. She found herself turning to thumbsucking with increasing frequency -- first, just to help her fall asleep. Then, for a little reassurance in the morning. But how far was too far? Tune in for this week's "Behind the Website -- Trixie."

Who said the driver's seat is the only acceptable place to pick.......

"Have super-fly coat, thumb--will travel"

Trixie as Greta Garbo

If that coat has real spaniel fur...I hope you know how inhumanely that dog was raised and
killed for the likes of a coat...what a pity. Cute site until I saw that...

I'm 99% sure that Trixie's coat is not real fur. It doesn't even look like real fur, despite the fact that it's a children's jacket from H&M. Not many people would dare to dress their toddler in anything with real fur on it.

Moxie, I'm glad you liked it!! Thanks!! :-)

Alice is right.

Lois, what you read about the Cocker spaniel fur was a JOKE CAPTION that I wrote. I've never even heard of such a thing as Cocker Spaniel trim. I have a Cocker Spaniel, which is what made me even make that joke - the fake fur on Trixie's coat looked like my dog's fur. He sheds enough that someone could use his fur sheddings as coat trim, but who would really want that??? :)

Sorry Ben - all you need right now is a Cocker Spaniel coat controversy. :)

For the record, I am just someone who reads this site & I have nothing to do with this site.

Anybody ever see the movie Stripes? My favorite line from that movie is "Lighten up, Francis!"

no caption (not overly witty) however, I LOVE the jacket! I used to have a faux white fur jacket when I was little! Kept me warm in our cold Canadian climate! If I could find a similar jacket to yours I would buy it in an instant!!!!

Mary: I have never heard of a jacket with cocker spaniel fur either! Loved the caption though...made me laugh, along with all the other captions!

Yes, it's faux. Or muppet. Thanks for covering for us, Alice and Mary!

shakes his head...cocker spaniel fur....

well, i may be 20 years older than trixie..but im gonna join the Cocker Spaniel Killers For Fashion Club. i got a coat like hers last year. its so HOT (to quote paris). so yeeeehaaa!! anybody else wanna join our party?!?

Aidens momma: YOU ARE AWESOME....love the comment...still wishing I knew were to find a coat like that I would certainly show it off to everyone!

Tanya, Thank you! I used to have a pink faux fur coat when I was little. I loved it! But, I didn't love it on Halloween night when my mom made me wear it so that I wouldn't freeze (I wanted to show off my costume rather than be warm).

Aidens momma, Loves it!!!
Of course, as soon as it becomes too popular we're gonna have to switch to a totally different type of fur. I'm thinking fur that has been shedded by Chow Chow dogs. Their fur is thick, bronze, and HOT!! This year: Spaniel Chic in blonde and chocolate. Next year: Chow Chow Chic in bronze. Gorgeous!

Another disclaimer for Ben's sake: I have nothing to do with this site. No muppets or dogs were harmed in this discussion. Any similarity of coat trim to spaniel or muppet fur is purely coincidental.

Caption------"The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind. The answer is blowing in the wind"

Hey you guys,,,I saw the MSNBC clip. GRRRRREAT!!!

Love ya,
Dorene

thanks guys! atleast we all share the same sick sense of humor. and i have no clue where to tell you guys to find one. they were really popular a year or two ago in the Albany, NY area..but then again all our fashions are based on winter apparel. lol.

ohh! Mary! i dont have a Spaniel or a Chow, but i do have a boxer...i know his fur is real short, but do you think it would work? :P

Aidens momma, "get OUT!" (said in the way that Elaine from Seinfeld used to say it). I used to live in the Albany area too! I moved right around the time that those coats were just beginning to get popular up there. I think people were a little hesitant to wear them at first because they were so funky, but later people couldn't resist the urge to get funkdafied. I didn't see them as much when I moved to N. Carolina. I wasn't sure if it was because it might be less funky here or because it doesn't stay cold long enough here to get real trendy with coats. Trixie knows how to get funky though - yay Trixie!!! :-)

I just had a vision of Trixie doing a funky little dance while wearing her coat - that would be so cute!!!

Boxer fur... I'm seeing Boxer fur on purses and handbags. Oh!!! They could be called Boxer Bags!!!! EVERYBODY will want a Boxer Bag!!

:-)

Mary: I went to UAlbany for a couple of years until i transfered north. and im alllll about the funkadelic fashion craze! go funky trixie!

im all about the boxer bags! what about poodle ponchos, shitzu sweaters and husky hats?

..off trying to find a life:-)

... and don't forget dachshund dresses...

"Do you think this coat is genuine muppet skin?"

Mary and Aidens momma.....you two are HILARIOUS I luv ya both! I worked all day and needed the laugh!!! I am all about the funky clothes as well!

Dude.

and many many more!

Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes

Wow, John, I'm very impressed. And we can't thank you enough for the BitTorrent help.

That is so weird, The other day I was thinking about if I were to start a band I must call it Trixie, or Atomic Trixie hmm. She is getting tooo famous! This would be a great photo for a album cover!

And I was cracking up reading Mary's aiden's momma and all of you gals comments, you remind me of my friends from highschool, too funny!

All i could think of was beagle bangle braclets because its just fun to say!

if you watched the whole msnbc half hour then you know the caption should be "welcome to auschwitz, mrs. cheney." trixie looked great on tv, keep up the good work.

There is this show on Bravo right now called "Project Runway" where fashion designers have to compete to come up with clothing designs. That reminded me to come here. After reading all this, our Trixie Fashion Team would win!!! None of the designers on this TV show have mentioned anything as creative as poodle ponchos, dachshund dresses, and beagle bangles!!! You all are awesome!!!

Tanya, Thank You!!! :-) This is fun!!

Aidens momma, I went to the same university! Since I live down south, I never meet people that went to SUNY Albany, so this is a cool coincidence! I graduated in 97. I studied psychology, which is probably why I was so interested in this site from the first time I saw it. This is like an EXCELLENT course in child psychology or early childhood development.

new to this site but just couldnt resist after seeing the baby bloggers thing on the net.... and btw where i live there is a local band named....... Trixie Delight! no kidding....you can check them out on www.trixiedelight.net!
