silver fox

I know I'm going to hell, but I love the way fur looks and feels. I am totally in love with this hat. So beautiful. I want to wrap myself up this coat and move somewhere very cold. It just looks so soft and warm.

(Yes, I know fur is murder and it is cruel to kill animals just for their skins and the world would be so much better if we were all vegan hippies who lived on air, etc, etc, etc. This post is not a commnetary on anything, just an expression of longing for something beautiful and unobtainable in my world. Spare me the lecture. Lecture me on it, and I will ban you.)

One day, when it's mine, I may give you my grandmother's red fox coat. Right now it just lives in my mother's closet. Someone should wear it, and I think you're a lot less likely to get red paint splashed on it there than I am here.

I'm actually pretty okay with rabbit fur. I don't know if the businesses that skin rabbits to make soft furry clothing items actually pass the flesh on to businesses that cook rabbits, but they are tasty eats, so theoretically they're not being killed just for their fur.

My mom used to work with a geneticist who as a hobby bred prize-winning bunnies. He didn't care if people were buying them to show or to eat, though he'd be sure people eating them got the mongrels rather than ones that could win prizes. Personally I think it'd be pretty funny to see a bunny competition, especially if they walk the contestants up and down a show ring like they do for dogs. =P

And if you get into knitting or crocheting, you can make things with alpaca or angora, and then sit around petting yourself anyway. =)

I have som efur from my grandmother. It has been around longer dead than alive. In a way I think it would be insulting to not wear it from time to time because then all of it would have been in vain.

It's so rarely codl enough around here, but I still want to go skating with that glorious muff! (Gotta make the long flared coat and wool hat to go with it all though.)
