The spring runways all followed the same trends: pretty sundresses, formal gowns, sporty athletic gear and avant garde one-of-a-kind ensembles.

But in Lansing's Old Town on Sunday, the models were a little more concerned with sniffing each other than primping in front of the mirror.

Gone 2 the Dogs held its first fashion show in Creole Gallery, 1218 Turner St., featuring 15 pups.

They sported 20 designs, mostly created by Gone 2 the Dogs owner Jana Nicol.

Nicol said a friend suggested last November that she have a fashion show, and she began working on a variety of looks from real-life vests to "some so crazy no one would ever let their dog be caught dead in it."

"My goal was to get a lot of sizes (of dogs) to show people what's available," she said.

Zsa Zsa Mai, one of the first models to strut her stuff, wore Paris Hilton-pink go-go boots and a T-shirt, topped off with a mod cap. Her collar sparkled down the runway with 64 Swarovski crystals in it.

Her owner, Michael Beebe, who lives in Lansing, said the outfit was fitting for the poodle.

"The new look for spring is the mod look," he said. "She looks good in pink."

Zsa Zsa Mai wasn't the only pooch dolled up to the max. Williamston resident Monica Young escorted twin Shih Tzus down the runway in matching outfits made out of green and blue flowered fabric with a retro feel.

One of the dogs, Tootsie, was Young's and the other was her niece's.

Young said she dresses Tootsie up for special occasions like Halloween.

"My children think she is the favorite child," she joked.

The fashions ran the gamut at the show. There was a dog vest for carrying Frisbees and a fashionista baby dog in pearls.

Idgy, a hairless Chinese Crested, wore a miniature kite on her back to keep off spring showers.

In true fashion show style, there were also unexpected moments — such as when one of the models jumped on stage when his doggie "brother" took his own turn down the runway.

And, just like in real life, Nicol also said some of the ordered outfits didn't arrive until Friday, giving her a fright.

The show was broken up periodically to give time for costume changes and allow the audience to shop in a vendor room next door.

The vendor room was filled with people selling everything from doggie pillows to treats from FuzzyButz Pet Bakery in Saint Joseph.

There were also a number of pet organizations including the Angel Project, a venture by the Friends of Ingham County Animal Shelter to spay and neuter 1,000 dogs and cats for low-income Ingham County residents.

"There are a lot of people that don't have the money but love their pets," Linda Macias said.

She said about 50 animals have been spayed or neutered so far.

Nicol said the show — which was largely inspired by Bravo's "Project Runway" and Internet spring fashion reports — had turned into a success.

Nicol plans to continue hosting fashion shows.

"I'm hoping to do it every spring and every fall," she said.
