Anyone who has spent time with a guinea pig probably knows how much they love to eat vegetables and endless piles of hay. (Pretty much more than anything.) But did you know that some guinea pigs also like to dress up in stylish clothing and headwear that reflects their unique personalities? Perhaps that’s why Japanese designer Maki Yamada opened an awesome online shop called Guinea Pig Fashion. There you’ll find a variety of clothing and fashion accessories custom-made for cavies. It’s undeniably cute and delightfully strange.

For the cavy who fancies lovely blonde locks topped by an adorable hat there’s the Straw Hat + Blonde Hair Extension.There are all sorts of pretty Dresses and Kimonos. The stealthy pig can don a tiny Ninja Costume while the more generally active and sporty pig has a selection of adorable Tank Tops< from which to choose. There’s even a frilly Guinea Pig Wedding Dress and White Veil, which pairs perfectly with the Guinea Pig Wedding Tuxedo with Base Tank Top. (But we caution you to keep an eye on those brides and grooms. It takes barely the blink of an eye for two guinea pigs to turn into six.)

This is just a small sampling of the guinea pig garments currently available for purchase from Guinea Pig Fashion. Head over to the shop itself to browse the entire collection.

Guinea Pigs Tore My Flesh! “In the deepest, darkest wilds of Peru they encountered the savage ‘Chanchos de Muertos.’ The ‘Pigs of Death.’ The outside world considered them a myth, but they soon discovered the terrifying truth…” Jason Chalker, a multi-talented artist and designer based in Dallas, Texas, sent us a link to this awesome B-movie poster that he created so we could add it to our slowly-growing collection of art featuring guinea pigs. Thanks to Jason we’ve learned that there is a dark side to those cute little cavies. Sometimes they can be savage beasties! You can purchase a print of this piece over at Jason’s bigcartel shop. And be sure to spend some time at Jason’s flickr account to view more of his artwork. Have you made something awesome that you’d like us to see? Submit it here.

May the force be with you little guy.

Remember when we said the world needs more art featuring guinea pigs? Thanks to Neatorama, we found some more:

Lesley DeSantis is an artist based in Burlington, MA who has an adorably awesome Etsy shop called… wait for it… When Guinea Pigs Fly where she celebrates cuteness by creating art depicting guinea pigs and other cute animals. There’s even a section called Yoguineas featuring guinea pigs assuming different yoga poses. Here you see some of Lesley’s anthropomorphic guinea pig paintings, which are available as prints in the shop.

This Samsung commercial illustrates eight different uses for one of their phones demonstrated by an assortment of ridiculously cute animals doing surprisingly human things. Hamsters go to the movies and chow down on popcorn, bunnies contend with the daily grind at the office, other bunnies work out at a health club, puppies make use of a photo booth, guinea pigs take a road trip, baby chicks hit the dance floor, and a hedgehog supervillain sits in his lair watching his evil plans unfold. (We’re trying not to think about what was going on between the kittens in front of the fireplace.)

Yes, it’s a commercial. But there’s so much anthropomorphic cuteness happening that it’s an easy fact to overlook.

Hey, why aren’t they broadcasting the 2012 Guinea Pig Olympics on TV? Yes, yes, human athletic competitions are all well and good, but check out these furry little Olympians! They’re in peak physical condition and there’s no sport they can’t conquer.

Thank goodness photographer Paul Cocken has been on the scene documenting these exciting events for the rest of us. 

If you want to commemorate these inspiring events you might consider getting a 2013 Guinea Pig Games Calendar.
