chihuahuas have risen to fame on many occasions throughout
history and modern times. Teacup chihuahuas have been on the
big screen in movie theaters, on the laps of celebritys and as
mascots for fastfood companies just to mention a few.
Lately, probably the first that comes to mind for many is
Tinkerbell Hilton, the teacup chihuahua pet of Paris Hilton
that even wrote her own diaries. She was bought originally from
a greek breeder, reportedly for somewhere close to 4000 USD and
went on to star in all three seasons of The Simple Life, the
30-minute TV reality show.
Another teacup chihuahua is Bruiser who made it to the big
screen as the pet of Elle Wood, played by Reese Witherspoon, in
the Legally Blond movies. Bruiser makes the trip from
fashionable Beverly Hills to the university world of Harward
Law School. The movie was released in july of 2001 and followed
by a sequel two years laters where Bruiser again was on the
movie cover and obviously starred in the film.
Teacup chihuahuas or at least chihuahuas in general have also
made it into business big time. Chihuahuas are commonly
associated with Mexico and so is fast food chain Taco Bell. So
in the later part of the 1990s the Taco Bell Chihuahua Gidget
hit the commercial world with a slam. In commercials for the
company Gidgets speaks through special effects and goes
ordering tacos. This character grew so popular that it spawned
toy production and started a subculture of its own.
If we take the step from the real world to the cartoon one we
find someone who resembles a teacup chihuahua, but sometimes it
is hard to tell if he has the required size for a teacup
chihuahua. Of course we are here talking about Ren Höek, the
partner to Stimpson J Cat in the Ren and Stimpy lineup. The
former is a somewhat neurotic character that often found ways
to be not so nice to his fellow character causing parents to be
critical about the whole series. Ren is often considered mexican
and was originally inspired by a postcard of a chihuahua in a
sweater.
Last, but definitely not least, we should mention Wheely Willy,
the inspiring motivator. He is seemingly a little big to be a
teacup chihua but he really deserves mention. Abonded and
injured at early age he was not able to walk on his own until
his new owner found him sort of wheelchair for his back legs
and now he visits hospitals and has been the subject of two
books bringing inspiration to the people he meets.
