My Grandma gave me a short rabbit coat in the 80s and god I wish I still had it.

How is coyote fur not fur fur? I’m not a vegan, or even a fervently anti-fur person (though I’d never wear it) but your distinction is...meaningless to the animal that died for it. If you want to wear fur, wear it and own it. Don’t make stupid, inane arguments trying to distinguish it by placing value on one life over…

Not only are they commonly used in leather goods, it’s easy to tell the difference.

LOL

Or sheep for that matter. People with these kinds of takes never had to feed a livestock animal larger than a chicken.

Nobody is going through the expense of raising cattle just to skin them and dump their bodies somewhere to rot (do you have any idea how much food a full grown cow would have eaten to get to be fully grown?). Even if the meat isn’t going somewhere for human consumption it’s being consumed by some other animal and…

yo that’s a bunch of bullshit & not at all true. Even PETA admits leather comes from agriculture cows. Man I really hate it when people spread bullshit like this.

You’re trying to propose that we’re just killing cows and pigs and wasting meat to drive the leather industry? You may get there on rabbits, they’re a niche food. Possibly with sheep. But cows and pigs? That’s an amazingly unbelievable stat. Citation needed.

Am I missing it? Did this entire article talk about a teddy coat and not once showed an actual picture of it...wth!

LOL! I was skim-reading by then and missed it. “Fur has potency. It holds stories. It is haunted, just a little, by its history”

So that’s the name of this repulsive coat/jacket I keep seeing everywhere. I was calling it a stuffed animal or Muppet coat. It’s like the Gen Z version of the Starter jacket.

I was given a full length raccoon coat for my 21st birthday in 1989. I often joke that I received this gift approximately 9 months before wearing fur was deemed socially unacceptable. I didn’t ask for this coat, but now I had it and I was scared to wear it out, lest I be harassed.

I feel the same way about genuine shearling as I do rabbit fur and leather. They’re in a different category than the rest of the fur market since these are natural by products of human consumption vs items like mink, ermine, and beaver. Just because it’s less common for people in the US to eat rabbit and mutton,…

Maybe it’s my browser not interacting well with this site but how does an article like this not contain a single photo of the garment in question? I clicked on it with no idea what a teddy coat looks like and still have no idea. (Yes, I could google it but that’s not the point. The point is that is that if the word…

I am so confused about what the Hot Take is here. Teddy Coats are monstrous because they are not real fur? And that fur is good and primal and eternal? All I’m saying is that the walk from Let Me Tell You About My Coyote Face to Teddy Coats was an extremely long one that was mostly uphill. 

Raquel Welch was terrific  in The Three Musketeers and The Last of Shiela. If J-Lo is a better actress than her, it is not by much

She can’t tap dance. We know that much.

  This episode was truly terrible.  It reminded me of when an athlete is on SNL.  75% of the skits are about how awesome the athlete is.  And the other 25% are about how funny it would be if the athlete wasn't awesome.

Well... that's depressing. She's the same age as me and I am falling apart while she still looks great. 

All I’m asking for, and I don’t think it’s too much to ask, is a crossover episode in the NPDATITOSTVU (that the Nice People Doing Artsy Things In Tents Or Sheds Television Universe) where Sandi and Noel come host an episode of this and Amy and Nick go host an episode of Bake Off. That’s all. This world is dark, guys.…
