But on the other hand- something similar- is available(in your price range- and honestly black of white are way more versitile- so you will be able to wear them again next season.) Dont believe me? Yes- Check it out….

  So- yeah… they look good? Get yourself one… Perfect christmas present…….get it here!

So 35 years on the air- what do you know? How many things could they managed to have given away in that time period? I suppose quite a bit- but only one fur coat…. who knew?

“The first prize was something Barker, an ardent animal rights activist, would later see to it was never given away on the show again: a fur coat.” original article

“Bobcat pelt prices and demand have been at a high for the last five years.

China is a leading exporter of fur clothing and a major processing base for fur trade.

Growing demand for bobcat pelts results in trapping and killing of about 1,500 bobcats in Utah each year and sold for more than US $300.”    original article

I suppose some women look good in bobcat… I just imagine I am not one of them.

But now that you have passed on- mr. steve erwin. mr crock hunter- I plan on wearing your best friend. You arent here to stop me. heh. Oh well. Thanks for all of those beautiful hours of the wonderfully amusing show- especially that one where you dangled your child before the crock I’m now choosing to wear. Thank you Steve Erwin- and have a wonderful time in the afterlife. PS- many people have taken to killing sting rays now- (I wont wear one of those- dont worry your little head.)

“Now for the most important part: what will be big in the women’s collections this fall? First and foremost, the color of the season (that is showing up in almost every major clothing line) is a stark, ash gray.

For skirts, dark plaid wools and other heavy materials are both practical and hip, especially if they have box pleats. Plaids also are the perfect fabric for a conservative cut pant with a natural waist. Just with the men’s trousers, a generous cuff can pull together an entire look. On especially chilly days the couture houses prescribe a double-breasted, full-length coat with fur trims or details. The great thing about this kind of overcoat is that if it’s classic enough, it won’t ever go out of style.

The fashion industry has given the American public so much to look forward to this fall, and with so many great options it’s hard to pick favorites. There is one thing for certain; the colors of the season are gray, gray and gray.”

Much to look forward to there. I cant wait for it to get cold now. I am the biggest fan of tights out there in the world- and now Im told I should pair them up with a new fur- well thats all of the confirmation I needed (well I suppose I didnt need any confirmation- but thats not the point.) So- now I have to truely decide which of the many varieties of fur I want…chinchilla (cant do that… we have a pet chinchilla), fox, rabbit, bobcat…? So many choices so little time.

I found this beautiful fox fur coat…It is amazing. AND- its on sale. So- I think someone wants to get it for me this year for christmas (and instead of the usual cost of $6000.00 it only $2995.00!) I hope Santa reads blogs.
