I´ll start being politically incorrect. The silver fox fur coat.

About 40 or so years ago, my father gave my mother a silver fox fur coat. It is beautiful and very light and warm.
My mother gave it to me as soon as my father died. I never knew the story behind that present and why she wanted to get rid of it.
And just then furs became politically incorrect and women did not want to wear a mink and I thought that if I wore the silver fox fur coat, I´d be lapidated.
I wonder why would they throw stones to anyone to "save" a fox that had been dead for over 40 years. I wore it then to a party when my eldest friends celebrated their 60 years of marriage. There I also discovered that their older friends all used furs. I used this one because I was in chemo then and needed warmth.
Still, I dread to use it and I only used it another time, when an aunt celebrated her 95 years of age. But this year I will "recycle" it.
I have to stay at home. And I don´t want to spend a lot of heat if I can help it. So I will mylot in my room, maybe with a little heater if I need it and covered with a luxurious silver fox coat and warm knitted gloves made by the Aymara natives. I will probably wear my thickest socks and no shoes.
NO. I will not take a selfie

Time is different today. Actually I think it is quite troublesome to take good care of a fur coat. Especially today there are also better material to make the coat and it will keep us warm. It looks well and less expensive. This is why I think today we don't need the fur coat.

This one is as good as new. And I have often thought that there are some species that are endangering the planet because they are out of control. Such is the case of some animals that were brought to be raised for their fur and now they are destroying forests as the otter here.

I'll bet that was a pretty fur coat. If we can be humane in treatment of animals it might not be so bad. But abuse must stop. In the cold weather fur is needed. If we can find a good way to get the fur that would be great
