I have a beautiful norwegian blue fox - it was a gift - and really, needs to be restyled. Looked all over to find a matching hat. Never did find a hat, but found a gorgeous head piece . . . I would not hesitate to wear it at all in this weather, but the cut looks very Joan Collins in "Dynasty," Hee Hee. I still see coats w/ that cut but they don't seem contemporary. So it needs to be re-styled and made more contemporary. The fur is gorgeous, but I would never have chosen it for myself. I prefer a really dark fur.

I inherited a mink full length coat (light colored) - Haven't worn it in years b/c I think it looks a bit conspicuous here, but in Kansas City - furs were common, so I enjoyed it there.

ETA: Barking, we simply demand a photo!!!!!!

I don't want to take the thread off topic, but this talk of hippies and paintballs reminded me of this story I heard on the radio yesterday. It seems that our friends at PETA have launched a new campaign to change the name of FISH to Sea Kittens. Oh yeah, no kidding. They say that kids wouldn't want to eat fish sticks if they were called sea kitten sticks, and so forth. Holy crap, these "people" are unbeleiveable!!!

PETA // Save the Sea Kittens

ROFLMAO!!! Okay. That is just unreal. But maybe this latest campaign will divert attention from paintballing fur coats.

Laughed out loud at that one. Ah, nothing like a summer spent at the old "sea kittening" hole!

OK, now, I am a bonafide animal lover. I cried when my son's chickens were tragically killed. But, changing the name of fish to "sea kittens"?? You gotta be kidding!!

Women in coat melted down, I waited for police and told them what I saw, which wasn't much, but dang it happened so fast.

And yet another reason to carry.

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

One of my all time favorite movie lines.

Paint ball on fur coat deserves return fire from .45 ACP.
