I Also Made The Horse…Out Of Chicken Wire And Velveteen Left Over From My Prom Dress

October 24, 2005 by Mary & Kimberly

A_clone_1

"I can’t help it.  I want to show off what I made."


And what I made was a clone! 

A clone that wears teacher dresses and bonnets! 

A clone that’s almost completely perfect! 

OK, she only has one leg and for some reason her hands are permanently attached to her solar plexus. And when she tries to say anything it comes out like “Taaaaaayyy in de wiinnn.”

But I took her to the fair last week and she’s a super awesome whack-a-mole player (She just bangs the moles with her head.  It’s the cutest darn thing you ever saw).  In fact, the she-male carnie said Clonetia was the best player he/she/it had ever seen. 


And, well, I guess I just love her. 

I think she’s the best one legged, bonnet wearing, whack-a-moling clone in the whole world!

    I am a teacher and am ashamed to say I didn’t realise I should be wearing “teacher dresses” like the one here. Luckily you have put me right and I have worn one just like this,with a matching bonnet, to school. The children and parents were so delighted I’d finally realised what to wear to school they all laughed with relief. I just hope some of the other teachers wise up and follow suit. What is the male equivalent?

    That is some awesome cherry detail.

    Dammit if I looked that good I too would gaze smugly into the middle distance.

    This has got to be your funniest yet! It looks like Clonetia was made from both, male and, female parts. And, is that a wig under that there bonnet?


  8. on October 25, 2005 at 9:26 am Julie

    Hopefully, the wig is *part* of the bonnet. That would really make the outfit complete.

    What is with clones eyes? They are freaking me out!


  10. on October 25, 2005 at 9:53 am Kell

    Teacher dresses! Hilarious! There is actually a teacher at my kids school that dressed like that.


  11. on October 25, 2005 at 10:30 am Annie

    Her/His eyes ARE freaky! They almost look like they’re upside down.

    “Taaaaaayyy in de wiinnn.”

    Cooooone miss ciicca pie

    I work in a boring corporate advertising job. I wear “slacks” to work each day. And each day, I visit this site and am filled with hope, love and charity for my fellow man. For at least 30 seconds.
    Thank you, thank you.

    I think Clonetia has an allergy to chicken-wire-velveteen-horses. That’s what is making her/it’s eyes so freaky.

    Camilla meets Mary Ingalls!
    Prince Charles was supposed to be on the velveteern horse, but he was busy fixing his jodhpurs.

    Just when I think you can’t be any funnier, you surprise me. I LOVE your stuff and it never fails to make me laugh. Thanks for constantly putting a smile on my face!

    personally, i’m more concerned with slacksy’s total lack of hips. makes me want to impregnate her with twins that have the genetic make up of andre the giant. if i can’t hear those things pop, i’m not satisfied.

    first post , can’t help it! Is that Teacher feeling herself up? After all of these years I’ve finally realized I want to teach!!

    First post, I can’t help myself! Is that teacher feeling herself up? After all of these years I finally realize I want to teach! And smack the hipless psycho next to her.

    Wow. I’m a teacher, and I have to say…it is SOOOO easy to give into the temptation of denim jumpers with things embroidered on them, like apples, rulers, and books. And the desire to wear hush puppies and lisle stockings can be overwhelming sometimes. And half-glasses that sit on the end of your nose.

    Maybe Jumper Chick is reaching inside for her Visine coz her eyes look reaaaaally swollen. Who knew that teachers were such partiers? I must have been in with the wrong ones…

    This site has ruined me. I was browsing through McCalls and Simplicity pattern books looking in vain for Halloween costumes my kids might wear (nothing like the last minute) but I kept getting distracted by potential future threadbared models — so much fodder for ridicule. . . I may never be allowed back at JoAnn’s after this laughing-insanely-at-pattern-books incident.

    Nellie Olsen is doin a bse

    greetings from England.

    Price Charles wasn’t on a Velveteen horse, he married one just like this. I think they stole the pattern from him.

    Y’all have scary pattern books over there.

    Could someone come over and do the heimlich maneuver for me? I am eating supper and this post has caused some of my pizza to become lodged in my windpipe. Oh well, if I have to go, I might as well go laughing!

    I think it was the realization that she’s wearing a BONNET with her denim jumper-dress that caused the airway blockage… in case the paramedics want to know.


  26. on October 30, 2005 at 3:50 am some fool

    is no one going to comment on that hat? at least you can tell the teacher-clone is wearing a bonnet….but for the life of me, what is the other one wearing on her head?????


  27. on October 30, 2005 at 11:09 pm philipps

    Bonnet: “If only the hornets would have stung me somewhere other than the eyes I might be able to feel myself with my hands where they are (sigh). That’s ok though after next week’s much needed trip to the cosmetic surgeon I’ll get my eyes AND my chest fixed. Then the horse will fancy ME and not my 13 year old hipless sister. We’ll see how smug she is then!”

    I should really know better than to look at this while at work. Now all the people in the lobby area are probably wondering how to get away from the insane woman sitting by herself and laughing. For some reason, the whack-a-mole just sent me over the edge. It was just so unexpected.

    “And when she tries to say anything it comes out like “Taaaaaayyy in de wiinnn.””
