It’s Squirrel Appreciation Day!
Squirrel Appreciation Day is Here
Wow! Look at all those different kinds of squirrels!
Now that squirrels are the hottest animal in fashion (thanks to me and my far-reaching influence), I suppose I can stop posting about them on a daily basis. If there’s one thing I’ve learned as the world’s most-enduring muse, it’s this: Sometimes you can have too much of a good thing. I don’t want squirrels to become the next jeggings, do I? Oh, forget it. I said a good thing . . .
Anyway, have a delightful Squirrel Appreciation Day.
Squirrel Appreciation Day is One Day Away
Unlike most of you fashionable types, I’ll still be appreciating squirrels even after another animal motif comes into style. For that reason, I’ve decided to get a squirrel tattoo. I still haven’t decided where, and I’m not exactly sure if I want to go with something naturalistic (as in the photo above) or more stylized, like my friend Rusty’s “Hello Kitty” tattoo.
I suppose it doesn’t matter just as long as I keep appreciating my furry little friends. On that topic, I should drop Rusty a line . . .
Squirrel Appreciation Day is Two Days Away
Squirrel Appreciation Day is only two days away! “Casual Friday“ is also two days away for those of you who toil away in menial office jobs. While I won’t tell you that you should ditch your Dockers entirely, I will tell you that you don’t have to dress like a slob just because you can. Why not add a little class to your casual wardrobe with something like this vintage Brooks Brothers squirrel tie?
Although Squirrel Appreciation Day is neither a national holiday nor the sort of occasion that would require formal attire, it’s still a day that deserves more than mere observance: It deserves respect. So don’t be caught in your cubicle in Green Bay, Wisconsin — or wherever you live — wearing something so slovenly that it insults the significance of this very special day. The squirrels are watching you. Auntie Fashion is watching you. Zob is watching you . . .
Squirrel Appreciation Day is Three Days Away
With only three days to go until Squirrel Appreciation Day arrives, you may be saying to yourself “How can I punch a squirrel hater in the face and leave a long-lasting mark?” Well, one of my devoted readers sent me a link to an online boutique where you can purchase this adorable squirrel ring. And why just buy one when an entire fistful of these rings would make a terrific substitute for brass knuckles?
Let me get one thing straight, though: I’m not condoning violence. I’m just appreciating squirrels. It’s totally different.
Squirrel Appreciation Day is Four Days Away
My dear friend, fashion designer Adrienne Butikofer, sent me a photo of these squirrel shoes she found online. With only four days to go until Squirrel Appreciation Day arrives, Adrienne is trying to get into the spirit of the event, although she had admitted that it’s difficult. “Why doesn’t anyone appreciate raccoons as much as I do?” she wrote me. “When is raccoon appreciation day?”
Well, Adrienne, International Raccoon Appreciation Day is October 1. Until then I would appreciate it if you would shut your trap and stop trying to steal the spotlight away from my beloved squirrels. And if you want raccoons to be the next big thing in fashion, I suggest that you devote an entire collection to them during Toronto Fashion Week. There’s no reason that the guys from Greta Constantine should be the only things that remind me of vermin rooting through the trash.
Squirrel Appreciation Day is Five Days Away
With only five days until the arrival of Squirrel Appreciation Day, you may be saying to yourself “What can I do to appreciate squirrels more than I already do?” To you, I say buy this amazing tooled-leather bag I found online.
I don’t want to eclipse the magnitude of this observance by discussing my fondness for these one-of-a-kind, handmade bags, but they’re true American classics, and when the public finally realizes the value inherent in these collectibles, they’re going to be the hottest thing since . . . umm . . . Squirrel Appreciation Day.
Anyway, isn’t that squirrel cute? He’s eating a nut!
Squirrel Appreciation Day is Six Days Away
Although the squirrel is about to become the most sought-after motif in fashion — after my endorsement, of course — there are ways to say “I appreciate squirrels!” without being too obvious. Take this acorn necklace, for example. According to many of the most-stylish gentlemen I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with since I became a part of the fashion business, almost nothing compares to a great pair of nuts . . .
Squirrel Appreciation Day is Seven Days Away
Squirrel Appreciation Day is only a week away. I’m so excited I could die!
Anyway, I wanted to include something for the guys out there, just because my blog has a few male readers who don’t wear women’s clothes except on weekends and special occasions. I found this terrific squirrel sweater pattern online, worn by what appears to be a professional model.
Clicking the link above will take you to a site where you can get a pattern for the sweater so that you can knit one yourself. Or perhaps you can set up a ”craft room” in your own home to teach some third-world orphans how capitalism works, just like I did. Maybe I should have kept that part to myself . . .
Squirrel Appreciation Day is Eight Days Away
If you’re like me, the days seem to grow longer as Squirrel Appreciation Day approaches. It just can’t get here soon enough!
Anyway, here’s a delightful squirrel pattern shirt from London-based design duo Eley Kishimoto. You can still purchase this shirt from the label’s website, although it might be difficult to get it shipped to North America by January 21st. Oh well! You could always order a shirt to squirrel away for another occasion. Get it? Squirrel away?
Oh, I crack myself up!
