Um, this squirrel could use a few pointers

by Meg on June 26, 2007

First of all, NO ONE wears hats like that anymore. Duh. I should say that I approve of the sequins, tho.

And check out that eye chub. Don’t you just want to take only the (delicate-ist) of nibbles!?

What a cutie!

5 ali 06.26.07 at 6:29 pm

now this has gone TOO FAR! that squirrelio is like 4 seconds from world domination!

6 RevWaldo 06.26.07 at 6:32 pm

I’m calling’ shopped ovah heah.

Run the words “dressing up a squirrel” through your mind a few times before you disagree. You’d be screaming “NO NOT THE EYES!!” before you even got the hat out of it’s little box.

Still would make a good Xmas card though.

I just have one question? How in the hell did you get the squirrel into those clothes? It couldn’t have been easy……but it was worthwhile!!!

8 metsakins 06.26.07 at 6:33 pm

OMG

nuthin else

just OMG

(and I believe this squirrel needs to be stopped)

9 ali 06.26.07 at 6:34 pm

metsakins – i’m with you. this thing is a danger to all humans. LET’S TAKE IT OUT!

(brings in a ‘tocks bomb)

10 Metz 06.26.07 at 6:36 pm

Dahlinks! Of COURSE it’s fake fur, I’d Nevah harm a fly. Now where’s the caviar? What??

LuvsMe,

Okay I had to go find it. And I got it.

Don’t Believe me just go see.

14 beenclawed 06.26.07 at 6:43 pm

sad or cute? sad. hope it’s shopped. even if it totally adorable.

15 LisaN 06.26.07 at 6:46 pm

I just laughed out loud when I saw this. The squirrel actually looks like she belongs in the totally redonk outfit!

omg, the *nose*!!!

I have that outfit. It’s on a Muffy Vanderbear. I have demonic ideas now.

Oh my too cute. Must implode now.

27 ebee 06.26.07 at 7:20 pm

Wow. You love me! You really love me!

28 warrior rabbit 06.26.07 at 7:21 pm

RevWaldo,

It’s not shopped. It’s by that woman who makes a living(?), if not a well-documented hobby, of dressing her pet squirrel.

29 pat_the_bunny 06.26.07 at 7:35 pm

Another Angela: OMGOSH! I went to that site – poor little squirrelie! The pics are cute, this woman is way too obsessed with dressing up her squirrel way too much! She needs a new hobby. Sorry for the nuffs.

30 ThreeCatNight 06.26.07 at 7:37 pm

“Now, if you absolutely MUST wear fur — take it from me, darling, make it FAKE! None of that Dennis Basso junk from QVC, either!”

(I hope this squirrel doesn’t make Mr. Blackwell’s annual list!)

31 JC 06.26.07 at 8:14 pm

32 Sweet Pea 06.26.07 at 8:25 pm

I blame the squirrel for not biting the human who dressed her up.
You have two blade-like teeth jutting out of your mouth…USE THEM!!!!

33 Annie 06.26.07 at 8:46 pm

Theo Noooooo! we can NOT have the squirrel be zsa zsa. I refuse. Nononon Not right. it is Tanya from Dr Zhivago. (Crosses arms and taps foot.)

34 Mary (the first) 06.26.07 at 8:46 pm

OMG the squirrel’s website is a total crack-up. I do hope she enjoys it though.

35 beenclawed 06.26.07 at 9:03 pm

OMG that website! Does somebody have too much time on their hands or what? Poor squirrel. He’s all “the blasted price I pay for some nuts!” Ah well, at least h/she was rescued!

36 furbabies 06.26.07 at 10:15 pm

Check out that sweet little mouth and whiskers. Too much!

37 Theresa 06.26.07 at 10:37 pm

“First of all, NO ONE wears hats like that anymore”

Well, she rocks it. She could bring it back into style. Then no one could wear it like her! :P

38 mb 06.26.07 at 10:48 pm

IMHO, ’tis the hat that makes the outfit entirely adorable!

39 Maria 06.26.07 at 10:58 pm

ThreeCatsNight took the words outta my head!

I was going to write, “That betta be fake fur!” ;D

Probably not as funny the second time around.

40 jen 06.26.07 at 11:29 pm

silly sequined squirrel sitting silently. say that 5 times fast.

41 Martha in Washington 06.27.07 at 12:41 am

I’m seeing Miss Bianca from “The Rescuers” aka Zsa Zsa. Definitely Zsa Zsa. (That’s fun to type-Zsa Zsa!)

42 HRH 06.27.07 at 1:06 am

ahemmm: NO ONE wears hats like that anymore …

they do in Siberia …

shall we call her SkwerllBeria ???

43 Dog lover 06.27.07 at 1:23 am

The Queen from Narnia!!

44 Shannon Johnson 06.27.07 at 1:30 am

That is so cool. How’d they get the squirrel to do that?

45 jill-e-b 06.27.07 at 1:34 am

Eye chub? I think I smell a new rule…

46 Tor 06.27.07 at 2:02 am

You are all wrong. That’s my grandmother in all her 40s finery.

47 Another Angela 06.27.07 at 6:32 am

I really prefer this pet squirrel in a simple handknit sweater. If only because it is vastly less political and I don’t have to imagine an overworked and overdressed Sugar Bush.

48 musicchick2 06.27.07 at 7:59 am

Somehow I suspect that Ms. Squirrel seriously disapproves of all this silly dressing up and taking of photographs. Her visage shows no hint of a smile. Not even in her pleasingly plump peepers! Pshaw!

49 musicchick2 06.27.07 at 8:05 am
50 Judew 06.27.07 at 8:22 am

I can’t help it but I think it’s unbelievably stupid! I hope too, that it’s shopped!

Whatevva!

51 Jenny 06.27.07 at 1:08 pm

WHAT?! I would fully wear a hat like that. If I only knew where in the not-Siberia to get one (human sized, that is.)

52 pat_the_bunny 06.27.07 at 2:11 pm

Re: the website, I don’t approve of using squirrels to make political statements, but that’s just me. =)

53 pat_the_bunny 06.27.07 at 2:16 pm

Another Angela: thank you for sharing. What a great shot. I love the squirrel in sweater in a natural setting. Much more bohemian and artistic, but I suppose I’m getting too highbrow, here.

I think “Lady Hyper Dress-Up” might need to pop a few Valium to get down to this rather minimalist but tasteful level.

Nahhh!

54 Pepe 06.27.07 at 2:32 pm

Haha, at first, I thought the only way to get a squirrel dressed up was if it was stuffed first!

55 elizabells 06.27.07 at 3:36 pm

Wow. That’s very cute, but… she’s got some, uh, problems, methinks. Skwerl inspecting the gallows they hung Saddam on? That’s just like whoa. Nothing a little risperidone wouldn’t cure, but still…

56 ka9q's wife 06.27.07 at 4:06 pm

squirrel is cute right wing propaganda is less so.

57 Yitzysmommie 06.27.07 at 4:44 pm

Wow. SugarBushSquirrel, huh? I think I’d better keep my comments to myself lest I add myself to the list of ‘Nuffs…..
YM wandering off muttering “Oy vey iz mir” under her breath.

58 marsheeee 06.27.07 at 5:47 pm

It’s not Zsa Zsa. It’s her sister Eva who was on Green Acres. So there.

Love the sequins.

59 Flamenca Mama 06.27.07 at 10:21 pm

Very posh squirrel! The lady who takes these photos must have a lot of time on her hands…

60 Mary 06.28.07 at 12:29 am

No self respecting squirrel would allow that, so it must be ’shopped. Right?

Still cute tho’

61 cassandra 06.28.07 at 1:23 am

a Russian squirrel

62 Rita85 06.28.07 at 6:53 pm

This is what all the best dressed squirrel-ladies will be wearing when they hit the ski slopes come winter. This is just so very Posh. Gotta luv it!
