So. Let’s break this down, shall we?
Someone on Twitter posted this photo. Apparently, her friend had taken this picture years ago, most likely at Disneyland. From the source:
Going to her friend’s Instagram profile for further investigation however is futile as her account is protected. So what CAN be said about the lady Pluto here? So far I’ve seen suggestions like she’s Dinah, a girlfriend some manager thought up on the spot, Pluto’s mother, or even Pluto’s angel conscience. However, I’m more inclined to believe that this is in fact Mama Pluto.
It’d make sense anyway. After all, there were specially created costumes crafted for one day usage before being discarded or reused later on under a different guise (if that is to be believed, not much info seems to exist otherwise). It’s entirely possible therefore that Mama Pluto was a one time character, at least for 1998 or 1999. Why I didn’t say after? Admittedly, one trend I’ve noticed in varying research was that after the Millennium, the amount of outfits for Pluto had dwindled sharply, reduced to just wearing collars or other minor embellishments. Therefore, the pinpoint for finding out would be pics from that time period. However… it appears such an event hasn’t been documented online at least. Perhaps, like many other treasures, further proof could be sitting in a film roll container in someone’s shoebox or tucked away in some sweet old grandma’s photo album. Until then, this is apparently the one time two Plutos appear together, and one in a dress to boot.
However…if someone out there knows something more about this unusual sight, please contact me about it!
