The Best in Cement Goose Summer Fashion

July 5, 2012 By Linda K Sienkiewicz

From my daily walks with Clementine, I see the Fourth Street goose sisters have been going through a monthly metamorphosis. For spring, as I posted earlier, the front porch goose had been dressed in a navy blue frock and bonnet. Then, on the first of June, she’d changed into a summery floral print dress with a fetching straw hat and pink ribbon. At that time, I was sorry to report that back porch goose was still dressed that unfortunate, strange animal costume (I have since decided that her hat was actually a cap with pipe cleaner antlers.)

But, for July, the sisters are flaunting their firmly toned, cement bods in bikinis! This is truly goose high fashion. The front porch gal is in a colorful abstract print. She’s wearing a different straw hat, although in this photograph, it was quite soggy from the rain. Her unhappy expression tells me the hat did not keep her head dry, either.  The back porch sweetheart has a fetching pink bikini and a sporty straw hat that held up well in the rain. Notice that both bikini tops are padded.  Blame it on Victoria’s Secret.

Then, on Third Street, I spotted a goose with a simple pink dress with white lace and a straw hat with a matching pink flower. She looks dowdy in comparison to the Fourth Street girls, and the way the frock drapes on her back is not attractive. Frankly, it makes her butt look big.

Compare this to the fashionable dress seen on a Wilcox Street goose. The shorter length looks much more attractive, and the casual manner in which the hat is worn on the shoulder is casual and becoming. Neutral beige is always in style, like a good trench coat. Do you think she’s bare underneath hers?

There is a sorry goose on West Second whose entire bikini, as cute as it is, has slipped to her feet. The ruffled collar is a colorful accessory, but someone needs to hike that bra back up into place and get her an appropriate pair of bottoms before some gander gooses her.

Enjoy the photo gallery.
