Foxy foxy lady
I just cannot avoid sharing this with everyone else. Yesterday I was at my supermarket picking up some more string to wrap my truffles. I was standing in a christmas-long queue waiting nicely and patiently after a crazy row of huge shopping carts with christmas meat, to pay for my one small ball of string. I entertained myself by looking at other people, seeing what they were doing, and what they were wearing for the occation (looking to get some sewing-ideas).
That is when it happened. I spotted her. The foxy lady.
Her coat was a leopard spotted huge fur. As if that was not tasteless enough , on the back of it, a cat's face was appearing; painted cat eyes, nose, mouth and whiskers. And as if that was not tasteless enough, on her head she had a huge furry ball, what I am guessing it was a hat. From the back of it a fluffy orange tail hung down towards the leopard-spotted-cat's-face-featuring-fur-coat. But the worst part of this whole thing was still that the tail was connected to nothing less than a fox's body and head. The stuffed head of the fox stuck up from the front of her hat, and the fox's dead skin was laying across the top of the furry hat, tail hanging down towards the back of the coat. This was by far the most obscene, tasteless, and provocative clothes I have ever been exposed to. How on earth can you motivate to yourself buying fur, the skin of a/several dead animal/s? And above all, how can you even think of wearing whole dead animals as a crown on your head? What message are you trying to get across to others?
Maybe even I should get a rifle for upcoming fox hunting season, could someone really oppose if I accidently on purpose shot her?

I'm not big on wearing animal fur either, but I think my shoes are made of leather (but not my sneakers.)
However, some animals (such as deer) are allowed to be hunted and killed in certain parts of America as a more humane way of animal control. Seems like if the herds aren't thinned periodically, many animals go through a painful, starvation death.
Is that how it is in Sweden? Just curious. But you're right; that must have been a disgusting display.
Hey.
Quite unavoidable I guess my shoes are also made of leather. I don't mind that awfully much. Mostly wearing a whole dead animal on your head, it is a bit over the top for me.
In Sweden they have hunting seasons for most animals, and I am not too sure it is ALL about animal control, but to some extent maybe. They can hunt deer, moose, rabbit, hare etc. The reason people do it is not with the intention to make it nicer for the animals, by not having them starving to death. Mostly it is "tradition", and that it is so lovely to get out in the nature (with your 4x4 trucks and shotguns).
