Fashion Bunny Draws Ire Over Tube Hat

In a bold style move, a Wyoming bunny named Blue attended a gala event wearing one of his own designs — a cardboard tube hat that cinched his ears together. No sooner did he enter the room then the attendees whipped out their camera phones and started snapping.

“People were, quite frankly, agog,” says Laney Chipwater, who writes a fashion column for the Wyoming Tribune Eagle. “This was a formal event — black tie and gowns. To walk in with a toilet paper tube on your ears is in poor taste.”

But supporters of the fashion-forward bunny, who is noted for his avant-garde style and envelope-pushing designs, say he was within his right to express himself.

“I think it’s a commentary on the elitist fashion world in which we live,” says Walter Cain, who also attended the event. “It’s an artistic statement. I think we need more bunny designers like Blue to push back on our comfort zones.”

Bunny Eats Carrots Strangely

Authorities are baffled by Hollis, a rabbit with an odd habit. Hollis only eats the middles of carrots.

“We’ve taken him to see psychiatrists, nutritionists, sociologists, paranormal investigators — no one knows why he’s doing it,” said Sam Whitlock, a friend of the bunny. “It’s like he’s trying to tell us something, but what?”

According to Whitlock, they tried switching Hollis to parsnips last week to see if the message changed, but he did the same thing: only ate the middles.

They’re going to try celery next.

Frugal Bunny Saves Thousands by Clipping Coupons

Albie the rabbit never pays full price for anything. The thrifty bunny saves oodles each year by clipping coupons, according to friends.  

“I’m always impressed by how Albie sniffs out those bargains,” said Claire D’Orsay, a close friend and frequent shopping buddy. “Whether it’s saving 50 cents on canned beets or getting 20% off on dry wall screws, somehow Albie always gets the best deals.”

Sometimes, D’Orsay admits, he does have to drive a bit out of his way to visit whatever store has the best coupons, but in the long run, he saves.

What does a frugal bunny do with all that extra cash?

“Mostly he just invests in carrot futures,” explained D’Orsay.

Daring Bunny Thief Eats Neighborhood Lettuce

A furry thief is on the loose in Tompkins County, CT. Witnesses say a bunny has been munching lettuce plants in gardens across the area, decimating as many as twelve backyard gardens over the past three days.

“That little rascal ate my prized European Rogue d’Hiver romaine heirloom,” said Nancy Phillips, whose garden was ravaged by the fluffy menace. “I’ll have to start my seeds all over again!”

The police think the culprit might be a rabbit named ‘Peter’ who hasn’t been seen at his job in over a week. Their working theory is that these lettuce thefts are actually a rehearsal for a more daring heist involving Mr. McGregor’s prized carrots.

Dog and Bunny Vacation in the South of France

Reynard the bunny and Cody the dog have long dreamed of going to France. So when the two pals from Portland, ME saw a Groupon for a five-day tour from Avignon to Nice, they had to jump on it.

“Rey and Cody always wanted to go to Europe, specifically France, where Rey has family,” explained Todd Garlinghouse, who walks Cody on Thursdays. “They just didn’t have the money, plus all that planning is stressful. The Groupon was a great deal and really perfect for what they wanted to do.”

The two return on Thursday and have been sending back loads of Instagrams of their adventures.

‘Grumpy Bunny’ Not As Good As Original

It’s been almost seven months since Grumpy Cat burst into the collective consciousness of the Internet via a post on the web site Reddit, and signs of “Grumpy mania” show no signs of letting up. The cat now has oodles of merchandise, corporate sponsorships and toys and books are in the works.

Cue the copycats. Or in this case, the copy bunny.

Hoping to cash in on the crazy for all things grumpy, Otis the bunny launched a Tumblr blog last week under the name, you guessed it, “Grumpy Bunny.” So far, though, it has been met with a cool reception.

“You can’t just manufacture these things,” said BuzzFeed web culture editor Natalie Sparks. “Grumpy Cat, like Boo the dog before her and I am sure countless others to follow, captured a singular moment with a completely unique schtick. Grumpy Bunny, on the other hand, is an also-ran. He’s cute, but he’s trying too hard.”

Bunnies Reenact ‘Jane Eyre’ Marriage Proposal

As part of a school project, two bunnies named Hildegard and Francis have reenacted the marriage proposal scene from Jane Eyre. Francis took on the role of Rochester, while Hildegard became Jane.

“It was magnificent,” said their teacher, Mrs. Fiegelson. “Hildegard was really able to communicate the distress Jane felt when she confessed her love for Rochester. A+ work.”

The bunnies are planning to work together on their next class project, this time about The Great Gatsby.
