Life of a Xenbar Penguin

Hi, my name is Penguin, and I was created from the movie, Happy Feet. I was adopted into Xenbar by Justin and Yanqing who rescued me from a certain death sentence at Carrefour, which hanged me up for display by the neck! (They tried to strangle me, but thank goodness I had no bones and was made of fur and cotton). The residents at Xenbar quickly took me under their wing. They hugged me, squashed me and loved me... I was really happy.

One day, 2 residents of Xenbar decided to give me a makeover. I was so excited when I thought that I would get a nice bath and a good brushing of my fur. After being passed around by so many people, to be hug and play (it sure was a full time job!), it would be nice to be fresh and clean again. So the 2 humans took me and to my horror put something over my head. I couldn't see! They were laughing... at me! They called me... Garfguin?

Little did I realize that they had placed garfield over my head. What a makeover! I didn't feel at all prettier and nicer. These people had bizarre tastes for sure...

So they eventually took garfield off my head and I once again lived a happy peaceful life... Until one day, they decided that I should join the costume class conducted every Friday. Ooooh, I was so excited about getting to try nice and smart clothing... (I was pretty tired of wearing the same bow tie tuxedo everyday). They brought some costumes for me to try and I obediently let them fuss over me, adjusting some material here and placing some props there... When it was time for me to see the full costume, I couldn't wait. I turned around to look into the mirror and.... OHMIGOSH!!!!

I had a fright of my life as I looked at my scary reflection. My fur was quivering on its end and I nearly balded myself in my fright (yep, the fur nearly dropped off). I didn't recognize this scary creature they have morphed me into. It took me a while to get accustomed to wearing this costume. I had big bright pink wings behind my back that kept threatening to topple my balance and a scary mask with a feather in one eye so I could hardly see...

I gradually grew accustomed to the weird ways of the Xen humans and before long, I was eagerly awaiting costume class... I always looked forward to the different costumes they would make me try on. It was like playing dress-up and it was quite fun. I tried out Nachos Libre... I wrestled with the contestants at Xenbar and they all lost. No one could beat me with my libre costume! I was too good!

So good that I had the chance to take pictures with a fan of mine who adored my macho fighting ways.


She didn't mind my sweaty fur but smuggled up to me for the photo shoot. Don't I look Macho?
