Eeek! Ebay auction.Got a ceramic goose?
Want to dress it up like a cop?
I thought so. (Note - the costume is the only thing being sold, as it does not come with the goose. I suppose you have to supply your own..I suppose it would fit on a flesh and feathers goose, too, if you've got one?)
Apparently she makes a lot of different outfits - has dutch children's clothes, a nun, a doctor and a few others.
Sort of surreal...Is this a market that I've just never heard anything about? I'm not sure if I should admire her handiwork, laugh, or run in fear of the animals dressing as would men.
{update} The Goose is talking to me. I can hear him. He knows all the laws I've broken and have never been caught for.
*breaking into a cold sweat, as eyes become beady... brushes the chalk 'M' off of my shoulder.

*sigh* there is a house in town. they have two ceramic gooses, err geese I mean, and she always dresses them up. They also decorate heavily for Xmas. I am always amused. I think she must make her own goose clothing though......they look crocheted. *shrug* maybe she has yet to here of the treasure trove located on Ebay.... I could slip a printout in her mail box.
*giggle*

ya know this makes me wonder about those ppl who display their gooses nakked? or as they say in areas of Alabama, nekked. I wonder if they can be charged with indecent exposure of poultry?

Date: 2001-09-18 03:33 pm (UTC)I want one now. :) (Actually, I ALMOST got it once cause I thought of dressing my macaw up in the outfits but luckily I came to my senses. THANK GOODNESS I no longer work with penguins or I would have gotten it to put on penguins. We usually use 'dog costumes' on occasion in the past for certain photos...like put antlers on the king penguins for a christmas photo, or little raincap for the heck of it, etc. We were terrrrible. :) )
