Tiny pooch poses as Marilyn Monroe and Queen to scoop pageant crowns

This 'diva dog' regularly scoops pageant crowns decked out in an ultra-glam wardrobe 'worth £20,000' - seeing the mutt transformed into Marilyn Monroe, a 'flapper girl' and even the queen. Chihuahua Lindy can be seen strutting her stuff in incredible designer-inspired clobber, hair pieces and fancy dress costumes thanks to owner Mandy Corbett.

While the wardrobe would usually cost someone thousands, the part-qualified actuary is a dab hand with a sewing machine, regularly churning out jaw-dropping looks for the four-year-old pooch for as little as just £20 a pop. Meanwhile less crafty owners wanting similar looks would need to splash out at least £200 per commissioned outfit - plus even more on accessories - meaning Mandy would have spent around £20,000 buying the equivalent haul.

When the furry fashionista isn't putting her best paw forward on stage, Lindy lives a life of pampered luxury with Mandy. The 45-year-old ensures Lindy has a daily beauty routine to ensure her coat, claws and teeth are in top condition - with the pooch even sleeping in bed with her.
