I’m not ashamed to admit it: I own a few
vintage fur jackets. It keeps me warm in the most frigid temperatures. But I
certainly wouldn’t purchase a new fur, not that this lets me off the hook in
the eyes of those who are anti-fur. When they give my 1970s white fox dirty
looks on the train, I give them a defiant glare that dares them to splatter me in
paint. But my little stare-down anecdotes have got nothing on Aretha Franklin
and the Olsen twins’ PETA-style encounters. The animal rights group defaced their stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with graffiti that reads “Fur Hag!”
Speaking of Aretha, the hat she wore
on inauguration day is a retail hit.
And on a more disturbing front, that woman
who hated on Michelle Obama for not wearing a black designer during inaugural
week is now receiving death threats.
