Item #17 A rooster wearing a Gishwhes tank top.

[tripperfunster]

I had originally wanted to put a BUNCH of tanktops on a bunch of roosters, but good luck finding anything small enough! I looked at a childrens clothing warehouse, Walmart and a couple of other places, but nope. Everyone had switched over to fall/winter clothes already.

And then I said ... Duh! Dog clothes! We sell shirts for dogs, there must be SOMETHING there I can use.

I brought a few home, but actually dressing them turned out to be problematic, so we just did one.





"Governor" as he's called, was very much DO NOT WANT about the shirt, and really, I don't blame him. I ended up with a nice scrape on my arm. An added problem was that the way chickens are built, the logo on the shirt was really tilted down, so I practically had to lay on the (filthy) ground to get a shot where the GISHWHES logo could be seen.

I am absolutely adoring your GISHWHES pictures coming in. You're also the only one (on my flist) posting their pictures like this, so it's such a treasure to get these stories!

Well yay! :D
I had such a blast doing it again, and there are always interesting stories surrounding them, so I'm glad there is someone enjoying it, and I"m not just blathering on into empty cyber-space. :D

ahahahahaa! Brilliant! I love his name too!

:D Thanks! It's actually Gov'nor, like with a cockney accent. His 'wife' is Miss Huffington. :D

OMG he's so handsome!! XD

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

Thank you, he is! He's a Jersey Giant, so he is over two feet tall! :D

Whoa, that rooster looks buff!

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

:D It's the muscle shirt. It shows off his assets!

I'm surprised you got away with just a scratch. Did you just cut it off him?

Nicely color coordinated also.

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

No, we pulled it off. He's generally not a super grumpy rooster, but he did not enjoy getting dressed up.

I love the angle. It makes him look like the (possibly evil) GISHWHES rooster who is about to CONQUER THE WORLD MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I can imagine Misha getting a kick out of this one. :-)

[tripperfunster.livejournal.com]

I hope so! I've seen a few other rooster pics, but not many.

Now I'm wondering what this rooster told the other chickens. Can't you just imagine them discussing what the hoomins did to poor Guv'nor?
