Blake Lively is getting a little out of control.

It's not enough that the actress has a toy poodle named Penny who has stayed tiny forever.

Nope, not good enough. Lively has to bring her tiny, tiny shadow (along with new husband Ryan Reynolds's dog, Baxter) to work on the Gossip Girl set in Queens, New York. She did this on Thursday, with Penny wearing dog pajamas.

Not just any old puppy pajamas, either – these PJs were covered in fluffy white sheep.

"Certain things just make me smile," Isaac Mizrahi told PEOPLE at the launch of Fabulous, his first fragrance for women. The designer brought that sense of joy to the perfume's ad campaign. "I see a poodle, it just makes me smile."

For the campaign, two black standard poodles joined a model (in pink!) outside New York City's Guggenheim Museum. In one scene, a show-trimmed pooch appears to be asking for a spritz of the scent, which features mandarin, nectarine, jasmine and cedar.

Cat models and United Bamboo are back – and they're seeing beyond calendars this time.

After a year-long hiatus from the kitty business, fashion house United Bamboo is expanding, offering more feline-glorifying goods in addition to the classic calendar that first earned a following in 2009 with 12 snapshots of costume-clad cats (know as nameneko, a trend from United Bamboo designer Miho Aoki's native Japan).

Also up for grabs this year: magnets, posters, framed prints and an LED lightbox, all of which picture images of photogenic felines donning sized-down (but just as stylish) runway attire, designed by United Bamboo, Le Bac and Bamboo By. (All of the swag falls under a new spin-off brand, Catclub by United Bamboo.)
