Last Saturday, my studio was taken over by our grandniece, Dorie, and her amazing super model, Mali (short for Malibu). The purpose of the session was to shoot photos of a line of clothing being considered for small dogs. Once developed, the line of clothing may be available on the Mafia Monroe Foundation websites.Dorie is the co-founder of the Foundation, a Hollywood based, non-profit, 501(c)3 rescue organization dedicated to saving neglected and high-risk, small dogs in Southern California. According to Dorie, the Foundation was established in 2010, due to the alarming and heartbreaking, high euthanasia rate of perfectly adoptable little dogs.
The foundation was named after Marilyn Monroe's beloved dog, Mafia ("Maf"), gifted to her by Frank Sinatra. At the time of her death, Mafia was adopted by Mr. Sinatra's secretary.
If not for privately funded charitable organizations like the Mafia Monroe Foundation, these petite pups would be destined for the overcrowded shelters of Los Angeles and tragic, early deaths. But last Saturday, Mali, a rescued pup herself, showed the extreme patience of a super model - all for a good cause. http://www.themafiamonroefoundation.com/
