Message: [QUOTE="Bob Godfrey, post: 51848, member: 136612"] The wearing of dead critters is of course the oldest fashion there is! Yes, it's surprising it took so long to become [i]un[/i]fashionable. Thinking back to the early postwar years I can actually remember ladies wearing fox stoles which inspired terror in any child within snapping range. There was a particularly vicious-looking one tucked away in my Gran's wardrobe, just waiting to pounce. My mother, a passionate animal lover, recalls borrowing that particular corpse on occasion and had no qualms about wrapping it round her neck. Can't say I recall feeling sorry for the poor creatures myself, either. It was more a matter of feeling nervous that they might not be [i]really[/i] dead. Not entirely. And that one dark night they's all get together and they'd be coming to get us .... Wasn't there a scene in one of the [i]Ghostbusters[/i] films in which a fur coat proved still to have some life in it? That brought back memories! [ATTACH=full]8776[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
