??!! Flora & Henri Celebrate the Year of the Rat

posted by David Schmader on February 11 at 12:39 PM

2008 is the Year of the Rat, and to celebrate, swanky children’s clothier Flora & Henri is playfully incorporating rats into their downtown Seattle window displays.

Because nothing says “buy a $200 cashmere sweater for your toddler to outgrow in minutes!” like a humongous rat gnawing on a baby’s foot.

Thanks to Slog tipper Jake.

Off topic, but I'm surprised nobody's linked to this on Slog. Thought you might be interested, Schmader.

Year of the Rat means trouble, turbulence, but the eventual win by the forces of Good.

At least I think that's what Dawn Le told me ...

At Henri and Flora, the humongous rats are dryclean-only.
