Oh No They Di’int!

June 20, 2009 by WendyB

Does anyone else think that the shape of Dolce & Gabbana’s fur coat bears an alarming resemblance to the monster from Bugs Bunny?

The coat.

The coat.

The monster.

Thank you, gorgeous blogger Gnarlitude Jen, for the post that led me to this important realization.

    I must be color blind! I see an awful purple hairball?

    I am guessing this fabulous hairball costs $2,700?

    Inspiration for a lot of things come directly from Bugs! I love that hairy weird character. I always think of him as that hairy tooth looking guy.

    The monster’s name is Gossamer…which I have always liked.

  25. G.G. says

    June 21, 2009 at 6:25 pm

    Yes! My first thought was Sully from “Monster’s Inc” (if he went through a purple phase).
    Love the new look for your blog, Wendy! Kudos!

    The resemblance is uncanny…also a bit Chubacaish! Just what I want to look like…a pink hairy monster.

    Ha, so true! One of my favorite BB episodes, the monster was so scary but then the manicure, oh how I idolized Bugs Bunny.

    Wait, doesn’t that Bugs Bunny monster remind you of the Hunger monster in the recent weight-watchers’ ads??
