Well, not have kitten; they will have a cow, no, a fit! Put [animals in human clothes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-passion), especially [trendy fashions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-stray-kids), and I just get cracked up. This photo project comes from The Workshop in the Ukraine. Who knows if it is a statement about the evolution (or lack of it) for fashion, or if it's just something for fun. All I know is if LOL Chimpz: I Can Has Bannannanna? gets hot, I'm going to be really torqued. I wonder if that domain is available?
