You People Are Taking Your Cosplay One Species Too Far

 

Hooray! It’s time once again to visit the Duck Fashion Show, where haute couture meets sassy waterfowl models. For the past 30 years Australian farmer Brian Harrington has been dressing up and showing off his Famous Ducks at the Fashionable Ducks Show, held during Sydney’s annual Royal Easter Show. Harrington works with a professional dressmaker who individually styles each duck in an impressively elaborate costume. The outfits range from day and evening wear, in both modern and period styles, to fancy bridal wear. Each year the beautifully dressed-up ducks waddle parade along a duck-sized runway before an enthusiastic crowd that numbers in the hundreds.

 

If any town needed a curling rink it's this one. Yes, curling in Australia. It could be huge. In the least the cool building would dissuade people from dressing up their poultry. I draw the line at dogs in costumes. Do the ducks get saved because they are good at parading their fashions? What happens to the ducks that don't measure up? Do they go in the oven? Are they set loose to take their chances in a cold and cruel world? How do the ducks that don't make the cut judge those who do. I assume it's just like people. Haters be hatin'.
