Have you ever met a fashion conscious tortoise? Well get ready to meet Ethel. Ethel's beautiful clothes crafted by her mom have brought her a lot of attention on social media. Ethel's mom, Kuchinski starting sharing photos of Ethel on her professional Instagram and people went wild. Ethel's internet persona evolved from there!
According to the Press Democrat: "The tortoise momma started making accessories for shoots. She started with a tiny scarf. Then she made a hat. As Ethel grew, Kuchinski thought it'd be funny to add herself and Rodriguez to the shots, making each photo a family portrait. To make the photos even funnier, she secured the trio different matching outfits for each project. Then she set up Ethel with her own Insta page. Getting clothes to fit Ethel wasn't easy. In case you haven't noticed, the T size at most clothiers is for toddler, not tortoise. When Kuchinski buys the clothes, she purchases an extra outfit in women's extra small for Ethel and uses the fabric to make tiny frock-style leisurewear.
Oops-bloopers! We love this cute behind the scenes glance into life with Ethel. The whole family's costumes were on point. Ethel and co continuously impress the depths of the interwebs with their fabulous fits.
Is it a Ghost? Is it a cat? No, it's Ethel the tortoise and her ghoulish family. We must admit we are kind of bummed that spooky season is over, but we're hype to see what this ghoulish family come up with for the coming holidays!
