Yes, that's right, for Winter 2009 a very special look has returned:

Look familiar? Allow me to remind you of when last we saw fur vests like these:

Time to dig those old vests out of that trunk in the attic (do shake the dust and vermin out of them!). VM, this means you! Oh, and watch your own pelt. It's gonna be valuable this winter.

Fashions mavens around the world are just rehashing old, tired crap and foisting it off on the people of the world as new, chez haute apparel.

If I ever see anyone dressed like that I will point and laugh at them as I walk past.

I'm not really into high fashion. I do my shopping in the JC Pennour' catalogue.

I dunno if you're one to talk, Zeb. I saw what you were wearing last week....

Hardly...the pants are too short and I don't see a flood anywhere.

This is more what you will see me in around town.

well, do please fasten your shirt. . . . . . .

It's Texas. You've got to let the heat out somewhere and they frown on your zipper being down.

 

[Weird Harold]

That's probably the oldest retro look of all.

Jeez, if that's going to the look de rigeur, I am going into hibernation early . . . and locking the door!

As Tex said, it basically sweltering down here most the time and the heat does need to go somewhere...at least my tits aren't hangin' out!

Indeed, you'd better, as I'm afraid it's being worn by many celebrities and catching on (though perhaps not so pervasively as Ugg boots). I went shopping today and yep, there was one of 'em furred vests! I tried it on and I suspect it must have been a cousin, VM, as my husband remarked that he couldn't tell if I was wearing the bear or still being eaten by it.

I did not buy the vest, much as I yearned to emulate early Cher...or to look like an extra from Clan of the Cave Bear.

More likely it was petroleum distillate. Bears in the U.S. can't legally be sold as fur pelts and the ones coming in from Canada are pricey! But we'uns figure that getting turned into a rug is the ursine equivalent of a Darwin award.

Wear a vest like that here in Appalachia & you might as well paint a target on your ass. Some redneck will shoot you and attempt to tie you to the roof of their car.

Human will feed a family of six for an entire winter.

Hmmm...think I'd pass...black leather and fur may be overdoing it.

Actually, I do remember a rumor of someone wearing white mittens getting bagged and tagged a number of years ago. I would be suspicious of a road hunter in that case. What hiker wears white in the woods?

*Hoping I don't run across VM's den this winter. I wonder if he's a natural blond.*

 

[voluptuary_manque]

Actually, I'm a natural 'bald'. What remains is natural grey.
