Now that Fiona the Hippo is a star, it’s time to roll out the Fiona Stuff.
It's a #TeamFiona family reunion! Fiona, Bibi & Henri are together at the @CincinnatiZoo & we need matching shirts. https://t.co/OHnCpxisIE pic.twitter.com/YVNjCzfUST

And why not? Her cuteness is intoxicating.
So drink in all the attention, Fiona — you’ve earned it!
A picture says a thousand words. Fiona weighed in at 333 lbs. today! It will take 3yrs to reach full adult weight which is around 3,000lbs pic.twitter.com/zgNKcbYzLb

Love the t-shirt!
The picture on that t-shirt is perfect. Bibi is wearing a t-shirt with Fiona’s image on it (intertextuality? Fionaception?) and Fiona’s expression is spot-on.
Henry’s trucker hat is perfect! And the little flat shoes are straight out of the ‘Babar the Elephant’ books.
Ordinarily I’m kind of a sourpuss about souvenirs and knickknacks, but these are perfect. She and her family deserve to be celebrated in every way. And these are more akin to fan art than officially licensed products – they have so much heart and individuality.
How much of the “Take” does Fiona get ??
The paper doll is adorable.
I have to admit, I never thought about how drink cans are filled and capped…that was kind of neat to watch.
I broke down and bought a T-shirt.
Speaking of supporting baby animals (which we kinda-sorta are), the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee is running its annual FUNdraiser as of yesterday. Even if you can’t donate cash, you can help the cause by sharing the news in whatever way works for you. http://www.theittybittykittycommittee.com or http://support.thehumanesociety.org/site/TR?px=1002700&fr_id=1040&pg=personal
Since I’m no longer on social media, I’m sharing here, because I know I’ll reach some itty bitty kitty lovers among the Cutetropolites.
Kitty lovers? US? NAY .. You have been rolling in the katnip too much *GRINS*
I loved that the guy at the brewery was so happy that Fiona finally weighs more than he does. π π I don’t blame the whole city for being Fiona-crazy, though; she’s so cute! And obviously you don’t have to be in Cincy to be Fiona-crazy, either (she says, looking around the virtual room at the folks spread all over the globe).
Okay, that’s the only beer I’d be willing to drink–or at least _buy_ and make someone else drink!? That they’re donating 25% is amazing!
Wish the shirt picture was more like the picture on the cards and can, though.
I’d drink that beer for you. It’s all for a good cause, right? π
So happy to see all the love for Fiona! She certainly deserves it!
Fiona swag?! Shut up and take my money!
