HAPPY BIRTHDAY #8 BOGIE AND KIMBA !

Eight in the Chinese culture is for luck. That is how we feel about Bogie and Kimba. It is their eighth birthday and the number of years we feel lucky that they have blessed and enriched our lives. In their eight years they have seen and explored more places than most. The boys have graced the pages of publications, television and computer screens world wide not to mention catwalks from coast to coast. Most importantly they have filled our lives.

On this day, eight years ago, these birthday boys entered this world not knowing that they would come into our lives and fill them with love, laughter and great joy. Mere words can not explain fully how they have enriched our lives nor can express the magnitude of our love for Bogie and Kimba.

Happy Birthday to Anthony Rubio’s Chihuahuas Bogie and Kimba with love and blessings…

Anthony Rubio receives a Proclamation from San Antonio, Texas

A Proclamation
We are back from what turned out to be one of the most enjoyable projects that I have been blessed to have worked on. It was more rewarding than mere words can explain. It was an enriching experience.

On the evening of my show as I came out to take my traditional bow, I was presented with this incredible gift, a proclamation signed by the Mayor of San Antonio Ron Nirenberg proclaiming that Anthony Rubio is hereby officially appointed as “Emissary of the Muses” of this historic and beautiful city located on the banks of the San Antonio River, in the County of Bexar, State of Texas.

The proclamation goes on to describe my commitments and so forth. You may read for yourself.
.
Imagine if you can the mixed feelings of surprise and honor. It was ultimately humbling. To be rewarded this way for sharing my passion.

Thank you San Antonio especially you Yolanda Ayala and Aurora Elisa Deiri. Thank you to all who attended and supported. Thank you to all of my new friends who I consider family.
We’ll be back soon.

We Marched the 2019 NYC World Pride Parade !
Assisted by my boys, the ever fashionable Bogie and Kimba wearing Met Gala inspired bejeweled sequined, and feathered couture designed by yours truly. We marched and represented in support of the world LGBTQ population to the cheers and screams of the spectators. I wore a fabulous sequined and bejeweled top hat featuring the rainbow in lovely ostrich feathers. The weather is glorious here with lots of sun with mild breezes. The boys, as you can see, had the best time. HAPPY PRIDE!

In Production
What a joy and an honor to sit down with one of my favorite program hosts Lauren Collier for her new show that will be premiering in July. It was fun revisiting fond memories and discussing Anthony Rubio Designs and how far we have come. Bogie and Kimba were also on hand to make cameo appearances as they modeled for the Anthony Rubio Canine Couture coffee table book which was also discussed on the show.

We had an inspirational evening at the Family Equality Council’s 10th Annual Night At The Pier gala with the Gay Parents To Be organization at Pier Sixty in Chelsea Piers NYC. Throughout the night, there were performances from the cast of several hit Broadway musicals including Tootsie, The Prom, Ain’t Too Proud The Temptations and more. I was thrilled to have met legendary actress/singer/dancer Chita Rivera and television, stage and film actor/singer Victor Garber.

Happy Easter
Bogie, Kimba and I want to send blessings and best wishes on the Easter Sunday. We put on our Easter finery and enjoyed strolling through the New York Easter Bonnet Festival.

Bogie and Kimba wearing couture creations with matching top hats by Anthony Rubio Designs.

 

The three of us wearing my English Garden inspired creations featuring the most fantabulous floral printed fabric, major bling, custom hand crafted orchids and exquisite tailoring by Anthony Rubio Designs.

 

THE JOY OF EASTER

Nothing rings in Spring more beautifully than Easter Sunday. Films, musicals, songs, poetry, toys, foods, deserts and yes fashions have been inspired by this holiday. Here in New York City we have a traditional Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival which for years, when we are here in the city, have not only attended but have enjoyed participating while wearing my creations.

This year was no exception. After hunting down just the right materials to bring my creations to fruition, I rolled up my sleeves and with diligence went on to produce these whimsical outfits and hats for us.

One word comes to mind to describe public reaction is “Thrilled”. There were smiles, careful inspections, oohs and ahhhs. Then of course the expected photos being snapped left and right. My personal joy comes from knowing that something I created with my imagination and my two hands brings so much joy to others.

Enough said. Here are a few photos taken by my friend, the talented photographer, Dez Santana who I tricked into posing with me and Bogie in one shot.

I hope my boys and my creations bring joy to your hearts and please feel free to repost and share.

Stay tuned I will soon be giving all a closer look at these masterpieces, to see the detailed work and custom tailoring that went into producing these original couture creations.
Love Anthony Rubio, Bogie and Kimba

Amazing time had by all at the 2017 Bideawee Ball held at The Pierre Hotel. It was great seeing so many familiar faces out for a great cause. The fundraiser raised 600 Thousand dollars for homeless animals.
We were thrilled to have met actress Loretta Swit (TV’s M*A*S*H) at the 2017 Bideawee Ball. She is also a great animal welfare advocate. My Chihuahua Kimba even got a kiss. Her latest book SwitHeart is out now.

Happy Thanksgiving from Anthony Rubio Designs

Happy Thanksgiving from Anthony Rubio

Happy Thanksgiving from Anthony Rubio

 

What I am Thankful for
Where does one start when you have a list a mile long of people and things you are grateful to have and have had in your life?
I will start by Thanking my Lord for every breath I am able to take, every light of day and dark of night I can see and live to experience.

I am Thankful for my Lord’s blessings and guidance and for not just helping me achieve but for all the lessons and reminders of who I am and where I have been.

I am Thankful for the great times, the achievements and accolades but also for the challenges and yes even my failures because from them I learn to be strong, focused and resilient.
I am Thankful for the love and support that surrounds me especially from my mom who watches and blesses me. I thank all of those who trust and appreciate my vision and give their support that, along the way, they to will receive their due rewards and recognition.

I am most grateful for my family, those to whom I don’t say,” Thank you.” and “I love you” enough, but don’t sit around feeling hurt or forgotten because they truly know that my love and appreciation for them goes beyond words.

As you can clearly see, I have only scratched the surface and wish that I could list each and every individual I am thankful for but just can’t. Instead I express to each and everyone who has touched my life, in some way, that I do appreciate you and that on this day I wish you a blessed Thanksgiving.

I am not sure and am very afraid of the direction this world is headed to but alas my faith in God will not be shaken. I believe that our Lord will do what is best for us all.

God’s gift to us is our lives and the way to show our thanks is to be the best human beings we can be.
That said, I close in saying to one and all.
Happy Thanksgiving!
