Rodent of Unusual Size

Nothing like a giant-mouse maxi skirt to freshen up an otherwise dull wardrobe. This vintage get-up says something, but what exactly?

"I am a professional."

"Beware the Rodent of Unusual Size."

Nail it & I'll send you a gift of some sort.  I'm in the thick of fabric design and can use a good laugh -- clearly.

I missed the end of the auction while I was out of town or I might have caved. I imagine wearing this number to the studio with a white shirt, drippy earrings, and an I'm-dead-serious business-bun. There would be a candy bar in store for whomever on my team snickered first. 

Missed opportunity : (

think of the poor poodle who used to be on this skirt and was eaten by the GIANT mouse!

Perhaps some teacher wore it for story time when she read Stuart LITTLE? haha

[Lisa Macomber]

well as Tim Gunn would say "make it work, just make it work"....LOL

Mouse wears human costume of unusual size...

[Rosanneduk]

You could always 'mod' the mouse.

Bondage mouse with strips of strategically placed tape and a whip in the free paw would be guaranteed to taise a few eyebrows (and laughs), an ornate mask for a Venetian ball, a grubby bathrobe and cigarette for that trailer trash look, suit and gun for the evil Mafioso look. The possibilities (aside from extermination) are endless!

I'm hearing it say"

"Talk to me, I'm all ears!"

[Christi]

"Don't mess with the mouse!"

[Jenna]

Who moved my cheese?!

[Anna B.]

It puts out a "Step aside Ladies. There's a new mouse in the house." kinda vibe. I have a silly image in my head of you walking in the skirt in a schwanky kinda way & the mouse shakin' its hips back & forth with each step. Very schwanky.

I keep picturing a school play where the students act out "The Farmer in the Dell" and have to wonder where the rest of the skirts in the song have gone.

"The mouse takes the cheese, the mouse takes the cheese, hi-ho, the derry-oh, the mouse takes the cheese."

And whatever else he wants, judging from those eyes.

Please, do wear this to a meeting. It would be worth it for the laughter that would ensue.

[Daria]

"Pardon me, but who Cut The Cheese?" - ROTFL!!!!!!!

Sorry Heather, I couldn't help myself :)

[K. Jouett]

Considering the attitude on that mouse I'd say the HMIC (Head Mouse In Charge) is in the house.

"I was trapped into wearing this."

Love the Princess Bride! :)

[Laura]

Don't run, I want to be your friend!

[Sherry Hicks]

Three blind mice, three blind mice,
See how they run, see how they run,
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Did you ever see such a thing in your life,
As three blind mice?

This is the one that got away
"I ain't afraid of no farmers wife"
"You wanna piece of me"

I have read all the responses and this is a very funny post!!

[Lori]

There's something disturbing about the visual I'm getting on the coordinating mousetrap pants that go along with this.

[Krystal P]

But did the cheese really stand alone? Of course not. Because the farmer's wife stole the cheese back from the stinking rat. She had, after all, spent a long time milking the cow, making the cheese, and waiting for the fine aged cheddar to ripen and she wasn't letting it go to waste on a dirty rat, no matter how large he was. And so in homage to her triumph, she crafted this lovely skirt with an image of the conquered rat on it, so that each time she sat down to eat a piece of the cheese she could imagine the rat was having to watch her savoring her triumph. She like to think of it as her "Big cheese" skirt. :)

Muskrat Love!!!!

"BYOM! Bring your own man? No bring your own Mouse! Duh."

[Amy]

Cheese and crackers! Why is everybody looking at me???

[Janna]

Love the comments...I'm all about sarcasm and loved the first one - Is this skirt cheesy? I can just see it. Or the "I'm with the skirt" comment - funny girls!!

[JennyG]

Man Trap.

[Mary on Lake Pulaski]

"My Mom just didn't get it when I asked for a cute little mouse costume."

[Miss Prickly]

"She of the Mouse Coven has arrived!!! Out damn cats!"

Can I say damn?

[brooke]

"Bring it on."

[Maryanne]

I believe it's intended to be worn in conjunction with a glimmery shirt and fancy shoes to a Nutcracker themed Christmas party.

[Karen]

Princess Bride!! Such a favorite movie in our household.

[Michelle]

The Mouse Stands Alone
You know, from "The Farmer in the Dell"

[DebbLou]

Looks kind of like an alien mouse...

[calbrecan]

[Sheryl]

..anyone else notice that the mouse's eyes follow you wherever you go in the room?? The Mousa Lisa..
It's the ultimate parenting skirt , "I'm busy BUT THE MOUSE IS WATCHING"...

[Tinell Skaug]
