Rich, Vulgar and Cruel: Fur Is Just So Old Skool
Saturday, 17 December 2011  |  Joy Nicholson | Blog Entry

Anti-Fur Protest Sign photo by DC JohnRich-people followers—and those wanna-be rich-people out there—please listen up! Fur is dead and has been dead a long time, as all elegant, non-commercial, good-leaning, smart beauties realize.

Okay. An oldster-family maiden may wear her dead-animal fur around. Just give it to her. She’s so cruel and out of it… She was raised in a cruel-age and has no idea her clothes are… icky-poo. There’s no changing her.

Those who suck-up to old money will copy the Old Icky Poo. Take Anna Winter-Whatshername, the creepy skankyface with the old-skool queer-bangs that best belong on a teen. Yuk! Get thee away from my style, scary-faced lady!

Truly gracious pretties of all ages have switched—even against old-skool wishes. Check out the best society mags—the best aren’t vulgar. The best don’t toady to advertisers for ad dollars like hunters lusting after, um, bloody, tortured animal pelts. Blood is just so… old fashioned. So… smelly and horrid, and low!

I mean, clean lines and bloody dead animals just don’t… intersect.

Believe me, nice, good, in-vogue, starry girls never wear fur now, even though they are pressured to do so for ad revenue’s sake. The best models aren’t in it only for the money—they have brains and consciences. They Just Never Do Fur.

Let’s face it, tortured animals are so… icky-poo! Anyway who wants to be an old hag swathed in blood—vampire chic is about as over as Anna-Winter-Whatshername. And as ugly, too.

Just Ick!

Just Say No To Fur—of course! Don’t be Skanky! Or ‘Phurry-Skanky.’ Ugh!

“The assumption that animals are without rights and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality." - Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher”

Sign up for paperless statements. Most utility, bank, credit card, and phone companies now offer this alternative to paper bills arriving in the mail. It uses much less paper and energy to produce and deliver.   More tips...

Eco Quote

Humankind has not woven the web of life.  We are but one thread within it.  Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.  All things are bound together.  All things connect.  - Chief Seattle, leader of the Suquamish and Duwamish Native American tribes, 1855   More quotes...
