Alright, so the lady I'm staying with for a bit was doing some cleaning out and y'all. She has this amazing jacket. It's this super soft leather/suede type stuff and it's got fur on the inside, along the collar, and along all the seams (down the arm, along the sides, down the back). It's JUST like all those things that are huge right now. The kicker is that it's from the early 70s, so it's all real. Ew. It's like beaver or something, she can't remember.

Yes. It goes against all things I believe, but dammit, it's gorgeous.

I tried it on.

*sniff*

It was beautiful. Gorgeous. And comfy.

It also shed like a bitch and I started itching as soon as I took it off. But whatever, that's not the point. The point also isn't that I feel completely guilty for trying on and enjoying it.

The point is...okay, so when we clean out or have extras of stuff or whatever, we donate to the Humane Society thrift store, right? So she was all "We'll donate that, too, they could probably get a lot for it." but then I started thinking and...dude. Would that be inappropriate? To like donate dead animals to a humane society store?

Well, it is a bit ironic!

Maybe there's another organization she could donate it to. I don't think I would be willing to risk offending them by donating it to the Humane Society.

Maybe she could just donate it to Lois.......




If Lois wanted it, of course! :wink:

Okay, LOL. I just got back from shipping chit around. I took the coat to....um...I dunno, but it was a people charity shop thing.

I would've taken it, totally! Regardless of my beliefs, LOL! Buuuuut, dudes. I think I'm pretty dang allergic to it. My eyes are still red and watery and I'm itching, my face is even all blotchy. Ugh. That sucks cuz it was so freakin' gorgeous...oy. It's for the best, though. How would I look wearing that to the grocery store while I was buying my tofu and veggie burgers?


Thanks, y'all! :D
