She could poke someone's eye out with that!

Is that a dead animal around her shoulders?

Looks like the fox fur my mother had in thr fifties

Gally Mon 15-Apr-13 08:37:58

I've got one of those furry things in the dressing up box grin

Galen. My Mum used to wear dead animals around her neck too! Some still had the head and tails on. They used to frighten me when I was young. Mind you, now I'm older a love a bit of fur.

How horrible. It looked better on its owner.

What Nellie Wallace used to call 'me little bit of vermin'...

She looks like an alien in a sci fi film.

Scary! Glad to see she's trying to keep out of the spotlight.grin

Fake fur or as they call it these days "faux". BTW I have actually once heard it referred to as fox - what my Dad used to call unconscious humour.

I suppose now the papers don't have Fergie to have a go at they have Pippa. More fool her for giving them ammunition.

I'm pretty my aunty used to drape a dead fox round her shoulders. I was always aghast as a child! And strangely drawn to gazing at it.

My Granny had something that like too jo, it terrified me, I was sure it was going to come and get me at night.shock

Perhaps she's trying to draw the focus of attention away from her bum.

gracesmum Tue 16-Apr-13 10:29:18

It was FAKE fur - what is the problem? (Apart from her taste in matchy matchy purple hat, shoes and bag)

glassortwo Tue 16-Apr-13 10:35:40

absent I thought you were talking about jingles bum then remembered who the thread is about grin

"pretty sure" !

Though I won't argue with anything else that's been said. smile (grin wink)

I was only asking if it was a dead animal. I'm not sure what sort of animal it resembles – maybe cat like those hats with the flaps that they sell in Moscow. It's hard to tell from a photograph.

It has a bit of Edgar Allen Poe about it... but if she feels good in it that is what matters! I have worn the most hilarious outfits that at the time i thought were fab!

nanaej Tue 16-Apr-13 11:49:04

ps as long as it was fake /faux fur. I am a bit ambivalent about specifically bred fur (sorry veggies/vegans et al) but wild fur I object to whole heartedly.

nanaej Tue 16-Apr-13 11:49:44

The word fur is looking funny the more I type it!
