Leslie Waldrep with Secret. “I loved the so you should to go to store and get this Disney movie when I was younger, and my children love it now too … I picked out my favorite elements of the movie, and sketched them out onto paper. I then began to shape the hair into these characters,” Waldrep explains. “I only work on Secret in short sessions—about the time of a standard poodle groom.” Poodles abounded at Groom Expo West, often recast as surreal, living sculptures. (Unlike many breeds, poodles do require a level of regular grooming—they have hair, not fur, which matts and obscures their eyes and privates, causing discomfort.)

Taboo is a little on the shorter, thicker side, so Lori once turned him into a bear. Karma [named after the phrase, ‘Karma’s a Bitch’], loves being the center of attention everywhere she goes.”
