Members Sylph Posted October 26, 2010 Members Share Posted October 26, 2010 Lovely. I think you were in St. Moritz Which reminds me, there's a country south east of Switzerland I forgot: some of our members are representatives of Greek crème de la crème.

Members Sylph Posted October 26, 2010 Members Share Posted October 26, 2010 Non, je suis juste un francophile. But one SON member is French and another one half-French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted October 26, 2010 Members Share Posted October 26, 2010 SFK, remind me to bring my $80,000 mink and my crocodile Bugatti bag next time I'm frolicking in the snow, hmm, 'kay?

Members Sylph Posted October 26, 2010 Members Share Posted October 26, 2010 If I were a woman, I could never wear it... It's so damn gorgeous, but then again – to kill a poor mink in order to peel it off of him? Sure, there's fake fur, but that's just an offense against good taste.

Members Cat Posted October 26, 2010 Members Share Posted October 26, 2010 I was just kidding. Actually, I was wondering why people would dress up that way with such expensive things in a climate which is so cold, damp and inhospitable. I mean, I know the fur coat would keep you warm, but all those minks cost a fortune. I'd be worried about ruining such an expensive piece in the snow. Or, better yet, getting mugged on the road to St. Moritz or Méribel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted October 26, 2010 Members Share Posted October 26, 2010 I guess it's just nouveau riche who above all things like ostentatious displays of wealth. They're also damaged by the sun, the gorgeous brown colour of the hairs fades. They should've known better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members remos Posted October 26, 2010 Members Share Posted October 26, 2010 Sweetie, that's what fur coats were made for. Every hear of a group of guys called les Voyageurs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted October 26, 2010 Members Share Posted October 26, 2010 No way! Ma meilleure amie vient du Nouveau Brunswick (mais elle vit maintenant dans le Massachusetts). Elle est de Fredericton, très belle ville anglophone. LOL. Connecting across oceans, people. The internet is a beautiful thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted October 26, 2010 Members Share Posted October 26, 2010 St. Moritz is famous for its parade of furs, it's been that way forever. From the NYT: The first step, as always, is to dress the part. Blend. St. Moritz winter style, even in a winter that begins as snowlessly as this one, can be summed up in one word: Fur. St. Moritz is the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals’ anti-campaign. “I’d rather go naked than not wear fur” could replace “Top of the World,” as the St. Moritz motto. Sable, lynx, chinchilla, mink, fox, raccoon. Chubbies. Full length. Vests. Cuffs. Boots. Hats. Muffs. The boldest wear a combination of all of the above. Men, women, children all bundled alike. You will be forgiven for thinking that you can rent the furs at the local airport where some 19,000, mostly private, jets land each year, or at the train station, where men in uniforms that harken to another era wait to whisk you to the Suvretta House or the Kulm Hotel in stretch Mercedeses that recall taxis in oil-rich desert countries.

Members DaytimeFan Posted October 26, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 26, 2010 Had a fabulous vacation there, just gorgeous and such friendly people too. Ma francais n'est pas bien. Mais, je parle un peu parce que j'etudie le francais dans l'universite et en ma jeunesse. (Apologies for not putting accents on anything!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
