Fur Coat Lust

A lady came in to my work today with a bag full of racoon tales today to donate to some children who could learn from them. I could not help but think how great they would look paried with a little black dress and killer black heels.

Is it so bad to want a fur coat in this day of age? I always say once I have made it big somewhere my first big purchase for myself will be a fabulous fur coat. Even better a vintage fur coat worn once upon a time by a wealthy Kennedy or Sedgwick or Vanderbilt. I think a fur coat and a big pair of sunglasses would make even the homeliest of women look like a movie star. Fur coats are classic too. They will never go out of style. Women have been wearing fur coats since pre-history! When they had an art opening in the Lascaux caves, they were wearing fur..(har – har).

 

I know that animals are killed for fur….but….isn’t that just part of the chain of life? the circle of life from the Lion King?

 

Also, I bet fur is warm. And if you know me its that I don’t ever ever want to be either a. hungry b. bored or c. cold and so a fur coat is my best bet for sure. Baltimore does not get very cold in the winter, but it does get somewhat cold. A lady I talked to today said that I could pull off a fur coat if I lived in Moscow or Vancouver. Well, das vedanna here I come Russia!

I have a few inspirations for my fur coat. One is Julie Christie playing Lara in Dr. Zhivago. Observe.

It is alot of fur, but still she looks great.

Is this even fur? I’m not sure, but she still looks all Russian and beautiful and exotic.

My other favorite fur coat person is Sienna Miller…but then again she is always my favorite person when it comes to anything having to do with clothes.
