First, I should mention that these photos were taken with an instant camera in the interest of getting this publication out before next St. Patrick's Day...so, my apologies that they aren't as clear as those from prior "designer rat clothing collections"...

In any case, here's Molly showing off her Irish spirit in a beautiful Shamrock gown...

...and that blur below is Flannery -- as usual not taking the whole ratwear thing quite as well as his comrades...

In fact, he seems bent on proving himself a Scot instead of an Irishman, by wearing what's intended to be a coat as more of a "kilt"... of course, truth be told he's not wearing it as either -- just trying once again to somehow outrun the cursed thing!!!

Noonan, by contrast, is always a little confused by his mom's strange obsession to cover his true colors, but if that's what makes her happy, he has no problem going along...

...which can also be said of baby Maggie, who would model outfit after outfit all day long without complaint...

Not so with Bridget, who far more closely shares Flannery's views on dressing up...hence, the decision to make her his fashion match...

And, lastly our newest arrival, Keela (Maggie and Bridget's last remaining sister, who we learned a few days ago was still without a home -- and, of course, we couldn't just leave her there alone, could we?!?!)...

Yes, yes, crazy stuff, I know -- but hey, we are dealing here with a freely professed artistinsane, I must perpetually remind you.  That said, I'd like to remind you as well that April heralds Easter -- and I can't wait to show you the madness to be shared via the rat menagerie for that!!!
