I guess Frenchie is synonymous with fashion – Fab's got <a href="http://teamsugar.com/pet/722736" >Annabelle</a>, too. This dapper pooch is named Moujik, (<a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/muzhik" target="_blank">meaning a Russian peasant</a>), seen here at the private garden ceremony after the scattering of YSL's ashes by friends at his Marrakesh villa on June 11.<span class="inline left"></span>If you're like me, you may notice that the pups in the first two pictures are different than the current dog – turns out, Yves had a succession of French Bulldogs, always named Moujik! If a country wouldn't let the pup in, then this revolutionary simply wouldn't go, <a href="http://www.erinrac.com/courier/couriermembersonly/courierarticles/0207courierfrenchieownersbyhudson.pdf" target="_blank">once saying</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>We are both set in our ways, with out foibles, but most important of all we have the same tastes. He likes certain materials – don't laugh, but the sound of taffeta being unrolled sends him into a frenzy.</p></blockquote> <p>Ha! I'd expect nothing less from this legendary man and his equally fashion forward furry friends!<br /> <div class='gallery_thumbs ' ><div class=title><!-- gallery teaser --><a class=photo-count href='http://www.petsugar.com/1707447'>View 5 Photos ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --></div><ul></ul></div><br /> <a href="http://www.gettyimages.com" target="_blank">Source</a> and <a href="http://www.wireimage.com" target="_blank">Source</a></p> http://www.petsugar.com/1703973#comment french bulldog French Bulldogs smushed faces YSL moujik Yves Saint Laurent Fri, 13 Jun 2008 14:04:01 -0700 PetSugar http://www.petsugar.com/1703973 http://www.petsugar.com/1707447 <a href="http://www.petsugar.com/1707447"><img width=160 height=114 src='http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl1/10/104166/24_2008/moujik.large.jpg'></div></a> <div class='gallery_thumbnail'> <a href='/1707447'></a> </div> The French Bulldog belonging to the late Yves Saint Laurent <div class='call_to_action'> <!-- gallery teaser --><a href="/1707447?page=0,0,0">View Slideshow ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --> </div> <hr class=space> http://www.petsugar.com/1707447#comment Fri, 13 Jun 2008 12:28:00 -0700 PetSugar http://www.petsugar.com/1707447
