Fur Fridays

A decade before her father became POTUS, Ivanka hit the town wearing an extended chinchilla family and Jezebel noticed (click through for some vintage Jezebel comments). More recently The Daily Mail tells us that PETA blasted her for using real rabbit fur for the pom-pom on a cable knit cap available for $22.97 at Nordstrom Rack (originally $45 at Nordstrom’s non-outlet locations). The Daily Mail also notes:

Fur may be murder but it looks warm

And while this particular piece does feature a ‘genuine rabbit fur’ pompom, the vast majority of Ivanka’s line is made with animal-friendly faux fur.

Well at least there’s that!

Who wore it best?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Congrats everyone you survived the inaugural Fur Friday! Come back next week for scantily clad PETA models, furries, bears or pictures of me doing barely-dressed mold remediation. The possibilities are ENDLESS.

  1. Hey, thats not a furry. There’s not a dick hanging out the front of it.

    1. Cliche Bandit

      I keep telling jesse BEARS ARE FURRIES!!!!!

  2. Slammer

    That’s what her chinchilla actually looks like? In-te-resting.

    1. Think Hamster crossed with Rabbit.

        Hare-pieces run in the family, I guess

    Please tell me you’ll be doing asbestos-lined boiler restoration too.

    1. jesse.in.mb

      I might if the pay is high enough and your expectations for success are low enough.

      1. Scruffy Nerfherder

        Hot

        1. Cliche Bandit

          Of course its hot, they are boilers…Jeesh the commenting quality has gone down hill.

          1. dontreadonme

            I so fucking love this site. Thank you Jeebuss…….

    2. DenverJ

      Boiler inspector (yes, that’s a real thing) for Denver said one of our boilers had something wrong with the asbestos lining. The cost to have it removed was insane.
      I was interested to note the complete lack of protective gear being worn by the crew removing it.

      1. dbleagle

        I was removing old asbestos tile from my house to put in new flooring and the floor tile folks quoted $2000/room to remove the old tile. I told them I’ll call you when to come back. Between 1952 and 2015 the glue had dried so I just kept area damp and popped each tile off with a putty knife. As long as you don’t make dust, the risk from asbestos is not great. Compared with the DU and asbestos dust all over Iraq it was nothing.

  4. Did you know that the Texas Parks and Wildlife Code Title 2 Chapter 11.051 states that a bobcat, while not a fur-bearing animal, is treated as such when it comes to tag requirements when they are resold?

    It was on my test today.

    1. Pomp

      What test, sir?

      1. SugarFree

        He is now a fully licensed homosexual in the state of Texas.

        1. He called me sir, SF. Now you know what it looks like to be respected.

        2. Emmerson Biggins

          holy crap. that was funny. all/most levels appreciated.

        3. dontreadonme

          LMFAO ..thanks gods SF..

      2. Auctioneer school final exam.

        I know it’ll be on the state board though.

        1. bacon-magic

          Was it really fast?

          1. *studio audience applause*

          2. UnCivilServant

            I wanted to know if it went to the highest bidder.

        2. The Fusionist

          So people tell you, like “I’m moving into a smaller house and I have to get rid of my collection of poker-playing-dog paintings,” and you need to find the highest bidder?

          Or the bank forecloses on someone and you do the Sheriff’s sale?

          Do you have to be like those guys in Antiques Roadshow evaluating stuff, or is all that up to the bidder?

          1. The Fusionist

            Wait, I forgot the most obvious question: When you talk about auctioning off a bobcat, do you mean a live one?

          2. I don’t mess with that shit.

          3. Emmerson Biggins

            One day I’m going to make a full collection of Abstract dog playing poker paintings. No Shit.

          4. And you’ll let me sell it, I hope.

          5. Emmerson Biggins

            If you can get some sucker to buy it, then hell ya! I can always make more. I do want at least one for my mantle. Just for yucks.

    2. westernsloper

      Is that the Texas furriers licensing board test?

      1. Texas Furries Licensing Board?

        1. UnCivilServant

          The manual is not very long. Copied in full:

          Reject all applications. File copies of applications in data warehouse for future reference

        2. westernsloper

          I seen what you did. You should give yourself a narrowed gaze.

    3. What about the chupacabra?

      1. westernsloper

        The chupacabra cannot be worn. It wears you. It is the STEVE SMITH of furs.

    4. hayeksplosives

      A friend adopted an adorable manx kitten. It thrived in his care and grew and grew and GREW. So eventually he saw the truth and had to apply for a Wild Animal license to keep the bobcat he had inadvertantly obtained. Was a great pet!

      1. Nice. My uncle had a bobcat as well. He named him Bob.

        My uncle was a boring man.

        1. Is. Is a boring man. He’s not dead yet.

          1. NOT a Naked Intruder

            :sees Sloopy’s eyes dart back and forth:

  5. Who wore it best?

    Well, one of them is going to have to go home and change.

    1. hayeksplosives

      I went with my husband to a funeral. Because I was running the soundboard at the church for the funeral that day, we went in advance to pay respects to the deceased who was in an open casket. She was wearing the same blouse as I had on (well, a copy anyway). My husband turns and says to me, “If I showed up to church in the same outfit as someone else, I would just die.” It was challenging not to laugh.

  6. Emmerson Biggins

    I was almost too afraid to click on this. But i did it. No where near as bad as the cat-belly-tattoo.

        That’s not something to be proud of.

          1. See, Jesse is all about our readers.

  7. John Titor

    I’m honestly disappointed, I was expecting something horrifying.

    1. jesse.in.mb

      This is just foreplay, John.

      1. John Titor

        See now you’re just hyping it up though, and my imagination will come up with something more horrifying and I’ll just end up disappointed again.

    Is the idea that we have a “Perversion of the Day” every day of the week?

    as for fur garments; i’ve never been much of a fan.

    Basically i’m like =
    Jeremiah Johnson = Do
    Frank Lucas = Don’t

    1. jesse.in.mb

      Nah, Manly Monday and Thicc Thursday will probably stick. Fur Friday is mostly a gag I’ll do as long as I’m entertained by it.

      I’m still disappointed nobody picked up my idea for Tentacle Tuesday though.

        1. jesse.in.mb

          I told you guys there was an audience for this.

          Holy sweet baby jebus!

          What in the wide world of sports is going on here?

          1. John Titor

            It’s art you philistine. Hokusai combines traditional Edo period woodblock print with the Ukiyo-e style. It’s narrative presents a classic example of a labourer dependent on their resources around them, in this cause, an ama diver and the sea. Rather than present this as a forced encounter, the print presents it as a consensual, mutually beneficial engagement, symbolizing a symbiotic relationship between humanity and the sea.

            Also, it’s a lady being fucked by octopi.

          2. westernsloper

            That is an interesting method with the wood block. Do they do it on velvet?

        over at the other place?

        i don’t know why Amsoc would have such a beef w/ me. I’ve had him/it on mute for over a year+ and stayed out of anyone else’s beefs w/ them. and i was polite when asked them to fuck off and stop trying to imposter-me. its creepy.

        1. John Titor

          I think he’s just trying to be a cunt for the sake of being a cunt. Amsoc’s deliberately inflammatory every time he initially posts and then sealions like mad for a reason.

          1. Gilmore

            “”sealions like mad””

            (checks Urban Dictionary)

            sealion
            n.
            A lesbian cougar. An older woman that preys on younger women at bars and other prime locations in much the same way that cougars prey on younger men. Sea lion is derived from cougar as an aquatic homage to the large cat, namely because their diet consists of fish.

            hmmmm. probably not that.

            Sealioning
            v.
            A subtle form of trolling involving “bad-faith” questions. You disingenuously frame your conversation as a sincere request to be enlightened, placing the burden of educating you entirely on the other party. If your bait is successful, the other party may engage, painstakingly laying out their logic and evidence in the false hope of helping someone learn. In fact you are attempting to harass or waste the time of the other party

            that sounds about right.

        What’s with the “moderate to severe” language in all the ads for psoriasis, Crohn’s, asthma and other diseases? Is that legally required language?

            And does “cite” do anything? it don’t as far as I can tell

          7. UnCivilServant

            The blockquote bolding is an issue with this site’s CSS.

            I don’t even know what the ‘cite’ tag is supposed to do normally, and can’t be arsed to look it up.

          8. Lafe Long

            Is there a way to do ‘blockquoting’ that doesn’t bold the shit out of text?

            My script unbolds the blockquotes and lets you see any strong or em tags within them (and does a couple of other minor things).

    Way OT, but are there any Glib metalheads out there who can recommend some new death metal (or similar) albums that I can check out. Just realized today that most of my catalog is like a decade old and it’s time to update.

    1. Slammer

      Gimme till tomorrow. I’m off work then. Death Metal is my bag. I’ll make a list of sick brutality for you

    4. egould310

      Not a metal guy. But definitely keep listening to new music. Otherwise, you’re that old guy who listens to 30 year old music exclusively. Not cool. That said, on the harder (metallish) edge of my tastes, I’d recommend Black Tusk.

      1. Dry_Gin_Wet_Farts

        I guess it’s official, then. I’m not cool, anymore.

        *flips vinyl “Judas Priest – Stained Class” from side 2 back to side 1*
        *scratch*

        1. egould310

          You’re cool. Just try to mix in something new.

          Perhaps a little grungy heavy psychedelic rock from the trio Crosa Rosa: https://youtu.be/eI40MavMTBQ

          1. Dry_Gin_Wet_Farts

            That’s not bad, actually. I guess, at 52, I just don’t have the appetite for anything else new. It seems like I’ve heard it all before.

          2. DenverJ

            If you keep listening to the same 30 year old shit over and over again, its going to sound like you’ve heard it all before.
            It’s my pet peve, classic rock. You wouldn’t watch the same damn movie over and over for decades, why the hell would you listen to the same set of songs for decade after decade?
            Oh, and get a haircut: the mullet doesn’t look good with the bald spot.

            You wouldn’t?

          4. Dry_Gin_Wet_Farts

            If you keep listening to the same 30 year old shit over and over again, its going to sound like you’ve heard it all before.

            The new shit sounds like the old shit. Not a lot of innovation since the 60s.

            You wouldn’t watch the same damn movie over and over for decades

            I’ve been watching It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. since the 70s. I thought it was funny, as a kid. Now it’s interesting in a historical way. A Jeep with 4 wheel drive in 1963… hmmm.

            Oh, and get a haircut: the mullet doesn’t look good with the bald spot.

            But, it makes my dick look bigger.

      2. butt-head

        I’m not sure it’s any cooler to be listening to new music (by and for youths) after you reach a certain age than it is to be stuck in one’s ways. I mean, it’s probably ‘square’ either way.

        But so what—music is enjoyable, and freshness in music is enjoyable, and old dudes at the club who clearly just don’t give a fuck anymore about looking cool and are just having fun… are my favorite people.

        These old farts are still pretty cool.

        These young farts never were cool.

        Etc.

    5. Emmerson Biggins

      The Sword just released 2 new albums in the last year-ish time frame I think.

      One is accoustic, but still metally in a Led-Zeppelin Hippy kinda way.

      The other one seems good, just as pure retro stoner metal.

      “High Country” is the stoner metal one. “Low Country” is the accoustic one.

      1. Emmerson Biggins

        just noticed you actually said “death” metal in OP. you probably won’t like The Sword. Definitely more sludge/stoner metal. And the ones I mentioned are kind of “experimental”. Check out Age of Winters if you want to hear them at all.

    6. DenverJ

      They stopped making death metal a decade ago. You need to ration what’s left carefully or you’ll run out.

    7. browncoat

      Not really death, I have been on more of a doom kick lately. For the heavy doom, with relatively gruff vocals I recommend Conclave.
