Dressed in wedding gowns and bikinis - their eyes fixed, jaws stiffened and bodies frozen in time - you might be forgiven for thinking you had stumbled on to a taxidermist fancy dress convention.

However, these furry corpses formed part of a display at a school in New Zealand which held a bizarre best-dressed dead possum competition as part of a fundraising day.

Children let their imaginations run wild when they dressed the dead animals in all their finery for the contest at Uruti School on New Zealand's North Island.

    At my school we just sold candy bars... Well, had our parents sell candy bars at their offices, but whatever.

    Things really are a bit different down there.

      And after you sold the candybars, you got to go on some field trip somewhere. What the hell could their prize possibly be?

    How do you know if they are dead, they could just be playing possum.
    Also, number 2 looks like Nicki Minaj.

      Nicki wishes she looked that good and had that much talent.
    • kittyripper | 9 months ago | +3
      Looks like there is an angry Nicki Minaj fan in our midst.

      Except, unlike Nicki Minaj, that possum is fuckable.

    Will they have a fundraiser for bubonic plague awareness after this?....
    • Smexxar | 9 months ago | +1
      the black plague was caused by infected fleas that the rats carried on them. another flea caused diease is lime diease.
      • fkbisme | 9 months ago | +2
        Bubonic plague can be transmitted several ways, fleas is just one of them. If you can catch it from being bit by a cat then I'm sure you can catch it from a possum and I know possums carry fleas.

        Good point but it's lyme disease and it's a group of bacteria spread by ticks not fleas to the best of my knowledge but that doesn't mean fleas can't.

    Great post. Between dead transvestites and dead possums my day has been made.
  • fireball80ca | 9 months ago | +3
    Am I the only one that thinks this is on the messed up and morbid side ?
  • spidermanboxers | 9 months ago | +3
    .Doesn't. Opossums start with a O???? Or austrailun opossums spelled differently???
    • HulkBrogan | 9 months ago | +1
      Different spelling.
      • kittyripper | 9 months ago | +4
        They are also a different animal, sort of. They both belong to the same Family of Marsupial but they belong to different Orders. The opossum is native to North America, possum is what they would have in Australia. The possum looks kinda cute, the opossum does not.

          That's the meanest looking opossum I've ever seen .. the ones near me don't snarl they just nicely lay under my tire
        • fkbisme | 9 months ago | +3
          I hate opossums. They are one of the very few animals I'll kill as pest removal but that's mostly because their piss can literally kill a horse.
          • deleted | 9 months ago | +1
            They're not too bad. The opossum is one of the few mammals on earth that is immune to snake venom. They will actually kill and eat poisonous snakes. So... I dont mind letting them hang around the yard and eat the copperheads.
            • fkbisme | 9 months ago | +1
              I have horses that and possum piss carries a protozoa that causes Equine Protzoal Myloencephelitis (EPM). It has very subtle neurological symptoms that can often be misdiagnosed as many other things and if not caught in time is fatal. If it is caught in time the treatment is a 30 day treatment that runs about $1000 and isn't guaranteed to save the horse. This and rabies is why I kill possums on my property.

          I see what you did with the pictures and explanation there. Very nice. Like a before and after model picture without a smile, then with.

    I think New Zealands own OMC said it best with this.

      Wow. Nice flash back. I like this song. And that Impala is fucking sick.
  • schwabster1 | 9 months ago | +2
    Are you sure this isnt Kentucky?
  • camp89 | 9 months ago | +2
    The Boxer and the Painter get my votes.
    • fkbisme | 9 months ago | +2
      The painter is best... no contest.
      • camp89 | 9 months ago | +1
        I think I'd buy that one. It reminds me of a Toulouse-Lautrec photo I've seen.

    Boris.. what the Hell is going on down there?
