pig in a lace hat

idiom. Sometimes, lipstick on a pig just isn't enough.

Real citation: "Will uses big words and pompous literary references to dress up what are basically the brutish and vulgar thinking patterns of a non-union meat-packing plant owner. He is a pig in a lace hat."
(Matt Taibbi, "Wimblehack: Round II," http://www.alternet.org/mediaculture/20197/)

Made-up citation: "When a pig in a lace hat squeals like a stuck pig, I'm happy as a dead pig in the sunshine."
