"  On Monday and Tuesday of this week in NYC, a group of genetically blessed individuals were primped and polished before strutting their stuff for a room full of people.  I am not referring to New York Fashion Week, but to the 138th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.  And in spite of some obvious differences between fashion models and dogs, you&amp;#039;d be surprised at how many modelesque qualities these pups possess. So while Sky the Wire Fox Terrier ultimately brought home the trophy, I would like to nominate all of the following breeds for their stellar catwalking. (Dogwalking?) Here, I present you with the best runway walks of the Wesminster Dog Show, along with their real-life fashion spirit animals. Because, yes, the greyhound really did do the Karlie Kloss walk perfectly. The Second Coming of Cara  Dogs aren&amp;#039;t usually genetically blessed with distinguishable eyebrows, guys. Orlando the King Charles Spaniel is the dog world&amp;#039;s Delevingne. And get this: Orlando is from England. Coincidence??? Fashion Equivalent: Do I have to say it?  The &amp;quot;My Gown is Hella Long But DAMMIT I WILL NOT TRIP&amp;quot;  Props are due to this Cocker Spaniel for always having to deal with trippable hair, and handling it with grace. Fashion Equivalent: The poor model who took a tumble at Elie Saab&amp;#039;s latest Haute Couture show (but looked stunning while it happened).  The &amp;quot;I Understand That The Hair Should Be Avant-Garde But Now I Really Can&amp;#039;t See&amp;quot;   I always wonder if the models are able to untease their hair in time for next season. This one is a tie between Blue the Bouvier des Flandres and Swagger the Old English Sheepdog. P.S. I would like to be named Swagger in my next life. Fashion Equivalent: Rick Owens&amp;#039; frizzy chic look for Fall 2013, Thom Browne&amp;#039;s slightly horrifying mental patient look for Spring 2014, and an honorable mention to A.F. Vanderhoorst&amp;#039;s vision-impairing bangs for Fall 2013.   The Hipster Male Model  Because beards, mustaches and long hair haven&amp;#039;t been this popular since the 1890s. This miniature Schanuzer has the look down, and would probably also do well in a warehouse apartment in Bushwick. (My suggestion: Work on the man bun, buddy.) Fashion Equivalent: Billy Reid&amp;#039;s Spring 2014 Menswear Collection  The &amp;quot;Kloss&amp;quot;  Since Karlie herself is a bit too famous to be a runway regular this season, save for a few shows (sniff), I was thrilled to see that this greyhound adopted her panther-like head swagger. You go, girl. 5 Kookies for you. Fashion Equivalent: Karlie Kloss  The &amp;quot;Emphasis on the Accessories&amp;quot;  She may be mostly nude, but this Chinese Crested Dog is obviously just highlighting her fabulously furry assets, DUH! Fashion Equivalent: Lily McMenamy&amp;#039;s topless moment at Marc Jacobs&amp;#039; Spring 2014 show.  Best Use of High Fashion Dreadlocks  Kudos to this Komondor, because that ain&amp;#039;t a wig.  Fashion Equivalent: Chanel Pre-Fall 2012  The Smiler  Sultry pouts and squinty stares are the choice facial expression for most models and designers, so it&amp;#039;s always refreshing to see a grin. Thank you, Golden Retriever, for indulging us with some happiness. Fashion Equivalent: Anna Sui, Diane von Furstenberg, or Betsey Johnson  The Celebrity Catwalker  They might not look like your average supermodel, but they&amp;#039;re cute and everyone is happy to see them walk. Case in point: This charming bulldog, who is the most registered breed in America right now. Fashion Equivalent: The Red Dress Collection show presented by the American Heart Association.      The Queen Bitch In Charge  She has long (probably blonde) hair, legs for days, a killer walk and looks like she (gorgeously) doesn&amp;#039;t give a crap. Rachel the Afghan Hound is basically a supermodel in dog form. (And not-so-coincidentally, there were a couple of Afghan Hounds who took the runway at Jen Kao&amp;#039;s show last season.) Fashion Equivalent: Kate Moss.   The Best Face of the Night  The Neapolitan Mastiff should never get Botox ever. Fashion Equivalent: None. I just love him.
