On Second Thought... Maybe You Shouldn’t Get a Dog

(Because, Sometimes? The Dog You Want Isn’t the Dog You Get.)

I HAD the absolute honor of attending the Lents Street Fair at SE 91st and Foster last month. As usual I was on the hunt for hot looks and hot chicks (as I always am when attending such events), and this street fair did not disappoint. I was told there would be a beauty contest, and imagine my surprise when I discovered these were not your typical chicks. In fact, they were chickens... actual chickens. As it turns out, the Lents Street Fair plays host to an annual “Chicken Beauty Contest,” and I couldn’t be happier. Check out these handsome chick pics from photog Michelle (Mic) Marusek, and trust me when I say, looks don’t get much hotter than this.
