Sometimes, you want to take attention away from the fact that your pants look as if you thought the booze and pastries would make you grow longer instead of wider! In a world of prying paparazzi, children are wonderful accessories to any outfit. But pets don't invite awkward questions about college rampages, seldom bray at the Secret Service – and don't show up too drunk to navigate in heels. If you don't relish feeding a real pet, do as I did and have Lillian Vernon make you a Scottish terrier clutch!
