About Swine

Another name for a pig, swine are given an unfair rap as sloppy animals. Sure, they love to roll in the mud (to cool themselves off) and eat by pushing their nose into a bucket of "pig slop," but pigs are actually quite intelligent and friendly. They walk on four legs with cloven feet and possess a curly tail and a relatively hairless pink body (although swine may come in a variety of colors including a spotted variety). Their most distinguishing characteristic is a stubby snout.

These farm fixtures are often used for meat products known as "pork," which includes pork tenderloin, bacon, and sausage.

Dressing up as Swine

It's Swine Time, baby! Grab your best porcine proboscis and go "hog wild" with your creativity for a swine-themed costume. Add a pig nose and dress as the Christina Ricci film character, "Penelope," a cursed girl born with a pig snout...

Or, cast your pearls before swine and dress as everyone's favorite, elegant Muppet, Miss Piggy!

Better yet, capitalize on Swine Flu mania and create your own costume! Add a pig nose and ring your eyes with red and put a cold compress on your head for a "sick piggy" costume. Add even more of a touch of irony to the old saying, "When Pigs Fly" by strapping on a pair of wings in addition to a pig mask!
