Doginal Dogs has welcomed a new member from outside the usual crypto circles: Malea Rose, the actress, writer, producer, and founder of the clean-beauty brand Vie En Rose. After being introduced to the space by billionaire collector Adam Weitsman and attending DDNYC 2026, she publicly shared her enthusiasm for the community, offering a window into how the brand is reaching well beyond its original audience.
Rose documented her arrival across a series of posts, thanking Weitsman directly. “Thank you @AdamWeitsman for bringing me into the NFT community,” she wrote, adding that his passion “has turned me into a lover” of the space and thanking him for introducing her to Doginal Dogs.
Who Is Malea Rose?
Rose is an established name in entertainment and beauty. A native of Kauai, Hawaii, and a former competitive surfer, she has appeared in television series including Entourage, New Girl, The Crazy Ones, and Two and a Half Men, and in films such as Kidnap, alongside Halle Berry, and Think Like a Man Too. She also served as an executive producer on Triller Fight Club.
Beyond acting, she is the founder and CEO of Vie En Rose, an ultra-clean luxury skincare line she built from the ground up, which has drawn a celebrity following. In short, she is exactly the kind of mainstream creative and entrepreneur that NFT communities have long hoped to attract, someone who arrived through genuine personal connection rather than a paid placement.
A Real Welcome at DDNYC 2026
Rose’s introduction came through real-world events. She attended a dinner Weitsman hosted and then DDNYC 2026, the Doginal Dogs flagship event in New York, and her posts made clear the in-person experience is what won her over. “So much fun in NYC,” she wrote, praising the “best attention to detail and hosts” and adding that she loved her Doginal Dogs merch.
She described the event as showing her “the fam this world is,” and said it captured “how everyone gets to be their own superhero.” The community welcomed her warmly in return, with team members and holders, including Doginal Dogs CFO Shield, publicly congratulating her and inviting her to the next event.

“This Is My Doginal Dog”
Perhaps the most telling moment was a simple post pairing a photo of her real husky with her Doginal Dog: “this is my dog, this is my doginal dog.” The post captured the personal, identity-driven appeal that has made Doginal Dogs resonate, the same instinct behind the community’s earlier “This Is Me” trend, in which holders post their real selves beside their pixel-art dogs.
For Rose, whose own brand is built around authenticity, that fit appears to be the draw. Her enthusiasm has been organic and self-documented, a creative and entrepreneur discovering a community and choosing to become part of it, then telling her audience about it in her own words.
Why It Matters
Rose’s arrival is a small but meaningful example of how Doginal Dogs continues to grow beyond crypto-native circles. When a working actress and beauty founder with a mainstream audience joins a community and speaks about it this warmly, it signals reach that most NFT projects never achieve. It also reflects the connective role figures like Weitsman are playing, bringing people from outside the space in and letting the community’s culture do the rest.
For a collection that began as a free mint in January 2024, welcoming a public figure of Rose’s profile, on her own initiative and in her own voice, is another sign of the community’s expanding cultural footprint.
