Memo to zoo staff: Times are tough in the zoo business. It’s a jungle out there. Nobody wants to come and see plain old boring animals anymore, so we need a gimmick.
We’ve brainstormed it and decided to dress our animals in the latest haute couture fashions. We’ll promote it as “Vogue Meets Rogue!” Don’t you just love it?
We have buy-in from the biggest designers to do animal versions of their creations. I’m talking about the Lauren Lion, the Valentino Rhino… I see penguins in tuxedos, zebras in seersucker, maybe something nice in leopard skin for the leopard. I see alligators wearing Lacoste shirts with, you know, little alligators on them.
For publicity, I’ve sent a few of the more stylish animals over to the Sao Paulo fashion show today, including that really tame tiger. Oh. He’s not?

- Posted by BandageI just hope that no one gets hurt if they really go ahead with “playing dress up”. A lot of these animals are Not going to appreciate this.
