My First Hairpiece

omg… i needed this. it really made me laugh. thank you. (and yes, about the cowlicks!!!1)

SQUEEE!!!! She’s like a tiny little super cute princess!!!!

Teehee. Veddy schweet little mop o’ guinea pig here.

Does it remind anyone else of those My Little Ponies who needed their hair styled?

Hairpiece??

1) Go look up “merkin”
2) Giggle
3) Scold Theo because he is naughty

OH MY GAWD!! How DARE Meg post a pic of an obviously underage Guinea pig being tarted up with a SPARKLY clip? Sitting in a woman’s LAP with BARE SKIN in the background no less! It’s SHAMEFUL.

(kidding)

ShelleyTambo:

HA!!!!

OH my GOD. its hair looks like it belongs to a human. alyson hannigan, no less. and i love it.

TEHO!!!!!

hhhaahaaaaahhahaaaa

Who’s a pretty girl? Who’s a pretty little princess??

(Let’s hope that’s a girl piddy, anyway! Although there’s nothing wrong with dressing up a boy…my mom and I used to put my brother in dresses and barrettes when he was little. Hee hee!)

wtf ahahahaaa

Heather S., I loved Baretta!

“Don’t go to bed, with no barette on your head
No, no, don’t do it.

Don’t do CO,
without your peeps in tow,
Yeah, don’t do it.

And keep your eye on the piggie.
Though its hair looks wiggy!

Don’t do it, don’t do it.

Where can I go where the Nuffings don’t blow,
Now.”

I dream of guinea?

Pyrit:
“…with the bright orange hair,
“Floating like a merkin
“Atop legs done with Nair”

(apologies to S. Foster)

Okay, peeps, what you’re looking at is what I, Redzilla, would look like. Same hair and about the same number of cowlicks.

Maybe this is piggy is my love child? Oh, except I’ve never had relations with a piggy. I swear on my merkin.

(Shame on you Theo for broadening my horizons like that.)

Whew. Something to cleanse my retinas from the jailbait prolifer with the ironic collage of fertility symbols draped against the pro-life poster.

Yah, I thought the same thing. This particular merkin looks like a designer “original” for both/either Kathy Griffin and Clay “Achin’.” Er, available in either an “Upstairs” or “Downstairs” model.

Either way, from either/both of them, the quote is the same: “It’th *relly* hard to talk through all thith hair.”

(Wow, gak, pththpthppththtt, it’s like cat hairs in my mouth, talkin’ like that.)

I’ve got your naughty, and I raise you one slightly ick … more if you push me, dammit.

The Paris Hilton of the guinea pigs

Peegies are so cute. Do they like cuddling though? Something that cute, I must cuddle.

awww, she’s just like my little penelope was when i tortured her with little hair ties. i miss my little wiglette…

Becky, guinea pigs aren’t rodents! They’re… they’re… they’re something else!

What if you already know what it means?
It’s an area rug!

Continue to dream, Arvay, for someday your dreams may come true.

I doubt it, though.

Guinea Pigs:

Order: Rodentia (Rodents)
Family: Caviidae (Guinea Pigs)
Genus: Cavia (Guinea pigs, cavies)

(I embrace my inner nerd…always!)

I learned that Guinea Pigs were rodents and what a Merkin is.. I must say.. it’s been a full day.

i wonder if the piggie would let me borrow that clip…it’s waaaaaaaay cute!

NebraskaE, only because I care:

Remember, Knowledge Is Power.

TJ — now that you mention it…

Teh guinea piggie is in disguise, shhhhh, it’s really Cameron Diaz:

i have never wanted a guinea pig until today. now i want one just like this one to carry around in a nice handbag.

Golden – You *have* had a full day, here’s your slippers and a drink. Dinner will be ready soon. And could you take out the garbage first?

Hi people,
love all your comments. I’m the piggies “mom”. Actually she doesn’t need much grooming besides a haircut every month. That’s why she has a barrette. Her hair flops right over her eyes. And she does love to cuddle! And run around the room at break-neck speed. Ha! She is a peruvian piggy, that’s why her hair is so long. And she’s a guurl, of course.

After looking up Merkin, I was ready to giggle (but didn’t) until TJ’s comment which caused a true guffaw (startling my coworkers, by the way, who normally never hear much from me besids grumbling under my breath.) I’ll have to be careful or I’ll be caught.

Thanks for the guffaw.

This year’s hottest new toy: My Pretty Piggie!

I feel your ShelleyT. As I said, this is what I would look like as a piggy. I have to keep my hair long, because it’s the only way to hide the cowlicks.

Oh, and I was thinking. A friend of mine used to date a guy with some kind of crazy hereditary full-body baldness. He didn’t even have eyelashes. (Even my nekkid kittehs have eyelashes.) Maybe he could have used a merkin to go with his rather perfunctory toupee.

Heather! Are you here at CO? You need to click on *another* bookmark! Hint, hint!!!

Two words: Hair Clip.

’nuff said.

Pyrit..

I already have my robe and slippers on, so the garbage is your deal. I fed the dog, though. I’m all about being fair.

Robbie! L@@K!!!

Holiday dreams really do come true! I’m sure getting me one.

Aw, such a *cute* Abysinnian pig!

HeidStar, though you said your cats would view a guinea pig as prey, remember that a full-grown pig weighs at least 1 pound. A 1-pound pig is big enough that most domestic cats won’t want to hunt it. At least 3 cats totally ignored (or were afraid of) my smaller-than-average guinea pig Samantha.

The 4th cat’s reaction was like this:
Sammy–(runs right up to cat, sniffing and meeping)
Cat–What is this thing? It’s too big to be prey. Er, maybe I’d better bat it on the head.
Sammy–MEEP! (runs off)
Me–NO!
Cat–Right, maybe I’d better leave the little fuzzball alone.

…YMMV though. When introducing the pig to the cat(s), *make sure* the pig’s a few months old and at least twice the size of a mouse, and keep a close eye on them.

anomalous4:

3-4 times a week? Don’t worry – we’ll soon get you up to speed.

Purring Pigs = Priceless

I, too, also, as well, have become edjumacated, thanks to that pet education website HeidiStar linked to. Who knew there could be so many kinds of piggies in the world? I think the Teddy one looks like someone stuck three different colored pompoms together. Either that or fuzzy pop-beads. They are delightful! Binny pigs. And they purr????

Thats no guinea pig, thats a YORKSHIRE TERRIER!!

‘Zactly right Mina! I have a pretty pretty princess pup (okay she’s seven years old, still a pup!), complete with barrettes. At first glance, I honestly thought that sweet piggy was a Yorkshire Terrier in need of a combing. )

Also, my grandmother’s name was Mina. You’ve triggered some very happy thoughts for me. Thanks!

Hi Soxfan…glad u liked my comment. Thats exactly what I thought it looked like was some weird yorkie!! Thats cool that your grandmas name was Mina. Mina is my nickname but Ive had it for 10 years now! Its kinda grown on me.

Now this is the kinda “cute” I come to CO to see!

Love, Love, Love this stylin’ GP!!

PS to ShellyT — here’s your tricked-out golf cart!
http://www.teslamotors.com/index.php?js_enabled=1

Teho, I was talking about the golf carts with someone last night, and apparently you can get ones that are like ‘57 Chevies and Cadillac Escalades (!)

Streaks, huh? Maybe I’ll look into that.

Oh My God! That is the wildest thing I have ever saw. But one of the cutest little scutters on the whole darn web.

Yay! My cavy is *covered* in cowlicks! Hence her professional name- “Princess Bad Hair Day”.

*Hugs the sweetness of cowlicked cavies*

Mia, it’s a line from “Coupling,” series 3, episode 2 (I think) (“Faithless”). Said by Jeff, of course, who has almost all the best lines.
