Obsession of the Moment: Designer Mice (must-have stocking stuffer!)

It’s all Disney’s fault.
(RIP Roy Disney, he died today, December 16th, 2009)

My favorite thing to read everyday is New York Magazine’s: The Cut. While doing my daily reading, I came across this new post about Anna Wintour as Anna Wintermouse and Karl Lagerfeld as a mouse. My face instantly lit up and I believe the words that came out of my mouth were, ” Ahhhhh omfg, this is the cutest thing ever.” Chanel + Mice = me with a huge smile! It was at this time that I decided the fair and beloved readers of the Daily truffle needed to see this !

Amy Odell, writer for The Cut, says in this post, ” However the whole thing gives us an idea: an animated feature like Ratatouille but with mice doing fashion things, like going to Mice Fashion Week, instead of food thing.” I think I should send this article to John Lasseter, head of Disney Pixar (I have a major Disney obsession)

I showed this adorable article to a friend and she was less than amused. I began to ponder why I have such a thing for cute mice….. and then it hit me: Ever since I can remember, there have been mice in compromised situations and I have always wanted to help them, be it real life or animated films slash books.

When I was around seven, I told my mother that when I grew up I was going to buy all the pet stores in the world so that people could not buy mice to feed to their pet snakes….that or just kill snakes worldwide (If you have read previous articles of mine you know I HATE snakes.)

Aw !

My dad and sister hate all rodents (Caroline does too). A few weeks after we moved into our new house, many years ago, my mom saw a rat in our backyard and my dad called his realtor because he wanted to move (We did not move). My dad has a strange man named “George (Horhay) ” who comes to our house and changes various mouse traps… This upsets me every time. To this day, I still buy my dad rubber rats that squeak, toy mice for cats, and mice that you pull a string and they run around the room, just to bother him

I have always loved these adorable little creatures because of the movies I have seen over the span of my twenty four years; I have always wanted to help them out of there scary situations.

Here are some of my favs !
