Members quartermainefan Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 In all seriousness, I don't think most women today have the panache to pull it off. I remember watching a Y&R and seeing Nikki or maybe it was Jill in these giant fur coats looking horrible. Just these giant monstrosities that if they weren't fur the ladies wouldn't never consider wearing such giant coats. Now if women ever go back to something like this or even something like this they would look good. But just to traipse around in full length monstrosities would just look bad.

Members SFK Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 The linebacker coats like the one Rae has on in that clip are one thing but there are sleeker styles that the ladies would look great in. You still see a lot of fur in cities like New York, D.C., and Chicago. The influence of the '80s soap diva bitch on a person like Star Jones is clear. : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 Yup. In sheared mink (see how it almost passes for PETA-dodging velvet?)... she's with Candace Bushnell with the sable trim who was of course behind Lindsay's show Lipstick Jungle. They are at furrier Dennis Basso's show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 Thanks. Candace looks a little better than I expected (usually the real person looks worse than the character she creates to be her). I created this thread partly as an excuse to post this again. Fur fashion show! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5juyGpLe80s&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 I can close my eyes and hear that coming from the little B&W TV in my grandmother's kitchen. Christie Bros. provided OLTL's furs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 That fur fashion show clip is a riot. Kim sounds like she's hosting a Presbyterian church fashion show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 I thought that was going to be Nicki Manaj. A big example of how the Dynasty-era got into even fairly low-key soaps. Fur and more fur on GL...although Vanessa's fur is the only one that looks ridiculous (Trish was always a low-key character so she has low-key fur). She also dropped her fur once to vamp Ross (while Maeve was in the last stages of pregnancy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted April 22, 2011 Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 I remember one of the soap magazines teasing Amanda (Toby Poser) for stealing Vanessa's move and dropping her fur coat to seduce Ross. Amanda and Vanessa were the last two people I remember on GL wearing real minks circa mid-'90s like at Henry's funeral. Here are Warren and Alex looking like one of the classic "His & Her Fur" ads in an '80s Neiman Marcus Christmas catalogue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 22, 2011 Author Members Share Posted April 22, 2011 Oh yeah I forgot about Warren's fur. He looked like a pimp from the Roaring 20's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
