Members Cat Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 I know, I know... I remember reading about his "intense halitosis problem," too. She kissed that. And that is exactly what I am going to be channeling tonight when the after-dinner urge to puff on my balcony comes upon me. Until Sunday's close of the Winter Olympics. Fahntahzteck!

Members SFK Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 Cat, we posted at the same time, didn't even know you were going to mention that gentleman in your banner. Yes, Joan wears real fur, and lots of it. Society is so fickle, we are plagued with a sheep mentality so a good portion of the population will flip-flop from anti-fur to fur's okay based on the whims of celebrity and fashion. Then there are people like Joan and Susan Lucci who have never ceased to wear it regardles of political correctness. As you said, there is nothing like real fur, and it is a personal choice... a debatable personal choice, but a choice nonetheless. Take your Grandma's coat to a furrier and have it turned into a reversible lining of a really nice cloth or raincoat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted February 26, 2010 Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 Joan has a fur cape that Dennis Basso gave her after she walked down his runway in 2000. It's worth $250,000. She wears lots of fur and the real thing, she doesn't give a flying damn about political correctness. All she knows is that fur and Joan Collins go together like gold and diamonds.

Members SFK Posted February 26, 2010 Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 We are on the same page, I was going to mention some of the furs I've seen her photographed in including that sable cape out in London, but I was veering OT. Point blank, you aren't going to convince certain people of a certain age that they can't wear their skins. They are SO before political correctness, and quite frankly, I don't think they take kindly to being told what they can and cannot do or being manipulated by trends. Fur wearers I can think of off the top of my head, Susan Lucci, Julia Barr, Erika Slezak, Robin Strasser (she's gone back and forth on the issue), Hilary B. Smith, Linda Dano, Marj Dusay, Eileen Fulton... the ladies of The View (maybe not Elizabeth?)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 26, 2010 Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 Oh dear, I know I'll not be liked for saying this, but I do have an issue with fur. How recently did La Lucci and Slezak wear them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 26, 2010 Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 If they're in New York, a couple of hours ago most likely.

Members DRW50 Posted February 26, 2010 Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 Susan looks a little tipsy in that sable photo. Those first photos, I think she's skinned Elmo. Good for her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 26, 2010 Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 LOL, I think she kinda looks like Jessica Lange too. The eyes/forehead. Wouldn't you kill to party with a drunk SuLu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 26, 2010 Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 Ha! Yeah, it's coats like that one that convince me she has a closet full of furs. She seems to think outside the box and go for some funkier pieces. Not that this is really an issue for her, but with the growth of the anti-fur movement in the late '80s, it was a big trend for furriers to start shearing and dyeing furs technicolor like that coat so they looked more faux. You've probably seen the movie Soapdish with Sally Field, her character wears bright red and yellow sheared mink coats that I'm sure a lot of viewers have mistaken for fake.

Members DRW50 Posted February 26, 2010 Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 Do you think that the anti-fur trend has died down? I had read a few years ago that furriers were able to stop the losses by marketing to clients they may have paid less attention to in the past. I personally would never wear fur and I can understand why people don't like it but I'd probably never want to make an issue out of it with anyone, especially since a lot of people who do wear fur will beat you down if you get between them and their coat.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 26, 2010 Members Share Posted February 26, 2010 Yeah, I'm the same--like my vegetarianism it's something I believe in for myself but I'm not militant if someone else doesn't (and my mom does have a gorgeous mink--but it was her grandmother's and is an antique which somehow justifies it in my eye--just like my piano which I got handed down from my great grandmother--it's over 100 years old with gorgeous ivory keys--and I wouldn't trade it in for the world LOL).
