2012 is the officially the year of the micro pig.

No longer the domain of Paris Hilton alone, the mini porkers are fast taking the world by storm in a series of genius photo shoots.

A few weeks ago we brought you pictures of the adorable crew at Pennywell Farm in Devon. Now the same brood are at it again, hogging it up in style for a 2013 calendar special.

With poise and presence enough to rival any of Rankin's subjects, these piglets sure know how to covet the limelight.

Shot by photographer Richard Austin, they are seen in a variety of surreal poses, including wheelbarrow huddling and squatting in a champagne glass. Their costumes are also stand-out, with the multi-coloured tutus a particular favourite among us here at Stylist HQ.

Revel in the madness, below.
