The pampered pooches of eastern suburbs reality TV royalty have been cast in a new childrens’ show which will see the ‘talking’ dogs spread messages about kindness and charity.
Sir Manolo Pigmop, the furry son of Crystal Lynn of Sydney’s Crazy Rich Asians fame, and Lady Charlie Billich, four legged daughter of Real Housewives’ Christa Billich of Darlinghurst, have already started filming.
The Langham was the luxurious location of a canine wedding shot in recent weeks but Ms Lynn said there would be much more to the show than simply glitz and glamour.
Ms Lynn, of Darling Point, said just like her first venture into reality TV, she hoped in among all the fun, viewers would take home her message of philanthropy.
“I’m normally a very shy and private person and I had reservations about the show (Crazy Rich Asians) but, after some persuasion I agreed, as it was an opportunity to shine a light on the causes I support, with my fees going directly to those who needed it most,” Ms Lynn said.
“I thought it would be a fun, lighthearted platform to showcase the concept that females should support and be kind to each other.
“That life is so much more than just about lavish superficiality such as private jets, chauffers, Dior, Cartier and Loubutins, but rather love, kindness, philanthropy, giving back and trying to make the world a better place.”
Fittingly, the new show will feature Sir Manolo Pigmop, a Maltese poodle papillon, sharing the message of animals rights charities.
“Manolo has been part of my life and my family for nearly a decade, and he has been doing his part in helping make his little tiny wave in the animal world,” Ms Lynn said.
“While the coronavirus crisis has been such an awful situation across the world, it’s allowed people to open their eyes to what love and family means and appreciate the invaluable currencies of life: soul connections, unconditional love, peace and freedom. I think the treasures of life include family, loved ones and friends.”
As an ambassa-dog for Sydney Dogs and Cats Home, Pound Paws and the Langham, we are told the pint-sized pooch is paw-fectly placed to teach children important values of kindness.
Ms Lyn said while the joke among photographers and cameramen is to never work with children and animals, Ms Lynn said they make the perfect combination.
“I personally believe that children are our future and a key for a better world. What a wonderful idea is it to plant kindness at a very young age. Animals teach us unconditional love, patience, happiness, loyalty and forgiveness,” she said.
“My heart breaks seeing the terrible treatment of animals everywhere especially in third world countries where animal torture and cruelty seems to be the norm. I guess one effective way that we can try to put an end to this horrid cycle is through strategy, education, communication and understanding.
“I do hope that this platform will help reduce animal cruelty globally through gentle education and providing children something they can look up to – not just an animal but a buddy, a part of the family, even a supaw-star.”
The new show will launch in coming months.
