Written on February 4th, 2010
I’m going to do it.
I’m going to sell my mink.
I need to have it cleaned/restored, and have the lining fixed, but it is worth about 7K so even though this process will be expensive, it will be a good investment.
I never wear the stupid thing–maybe once or twice a year. It seems silly to have it just taking up space that could be filled with countless mismatched snow boots in our hall closet.
Y’all can have first crack at this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
A mink jacket makes a lovely Valentine’s gift. Just sayin.

What. Ok, fine, sell it, but PRETEND like you still own it, because it needs to always be there when needed for various blog entries. |

Sell it to Stevie Nicks. Transvestites LOVE stuff like fur coats. |

I’m not sure why but I think you should take a pic of yourself naked on that thing before you sell it….just to have. |

Yeah, doubt she’ll do it. But, if you’re sure never going to wear it again, maybe have Cousin Julie wear it on the hood of the car naked. |

You could take the picture that would suggest nude, showing a little leg but bunching the coat up around you. That would show that it’s sexy and warm. That might appeal to the practical side of some. |

If there are any asian shops in the area who do sewing use them. My house was vandalized way back when and my fur was cut up. My mom took it to this asian and she did such a good job you can’t tell that it had been cut into 3 pieces and it’s a full length maxi mink. |

I am more than happy to take a “nude” (read: wearing bra and shorts but you won’t see them) picture in the mink, but it is a jacket and only comes to my hips. It will require some serious leg crossing for them to be SFW. Cousin Julie could never fit in this coat. It is a little snug on me, even. My mom said she tried like hell to get into it, because she was going to keep it for herself, but she said it made her feel like the ugly step-sister trying on the glass slipper. I have always loved the mink just for making her feel crappy. |

Wait, are y’all saying I should use a pic of me in the stupid coat as advertising, like if we put it on eBay or something?? I think S&S would be a better model. |

Atta girl, S&S! Fuck PETA, indeed. I have gotten some shit from people for wearing the mink, but I always tell them that I INHERITED the coat, and those critters would have been long dead either way. |

Just tell them, “This coat was made in Kentucky. The fur was removed after the animal died of natural causes when the semi hit them.” |

It really does not make a damn difference to them its not their coat. God was Worshipped there, in the Holiest of all moveable TENT Temple. Peta’s very existence depends on donations. |

And there are no badgers in the Holy Land. God would never put the most horrifyingly scary mammals amongst His Chosen People. |

I stand corrected, European Badgers can be found in Israel. Those poor, poor Jews. How do they sleep at night? |
