Fur is NOT Fashion!

I wear leather because I eat beef. I don't wear fur since I don't eat minxes or chinchillas or even dogs and cats (yes, bear in mind that the guys over in China eat anything and I do mean ANYTHING - you've heard about SARS, right? Go figure - and China is the largest fur exporting country in the world, so you may claim that you love cats but you're wearing fur that might just come from cats).

And I suppose that's a good justification. I know it's kind of cruel. If you've seen the movie War of The Worlds (I hate Tom Cruise but the movie's okay), you'll get to know how it'd feel to be a calf or a cow waiting to be slaughtered.

You'd feel that fright. Extreme fright, knowing that the end is near. And if you haven't prepared yourself and your soul, you're gonna pee and even poop in your pants.

But these animals, they're so ready to be butchered. Yes they feel scared, but they've prepared their souls.

I guess it's true that all cows (and all animals) go to heaven.

And I'm writing this as if I were a vegetarian.

I own Dior things. Some of them are made from leather. And I do travel on this guilt lane of inner-confrontations and intercontradiction.

I have nine cats at home and I am a self-confessed animal lover.

So why do I eat meat?

I eat meat because I need the nutrition (I don't eat at KFC's or Wendy's anymore, knowing that those franchises are psyhopathic when it comes to dealing with animals). I was once a vegetarian and I lost 5 kg in one month. I'm already skinny so I don't think I want to be skinnier.

So anyway, I'm in the middle of this... big dilemma when I eat meat and wearing leather since I want to be a vegetarian but I can't. Or probably I need to consult to a nutritionist first so I can be a vegetarian and not lose weight.

But when all's done, what'll ever happen to my Dior stuffs? Okay okay, so the whole point is probably prestige and self-pity. *kicks own ass*

The above picture is of John Galliano. He's the designer of Dior (if you don't know). He's like... so far away there in Europe where it has winter.

Now the disturbing fact is, people in Indonesia (my country) have been adopting fur as their way of dressing. That bitchy Oscar Lawalata for example. I once held the highest respect on him, and then I saw a review of his fashion show. He used fur.

And then that... chief editor (or owner) of Harper's Bazaar Indonesia. I forgot who the brainless ho's name. She wore fur with Stella McCartney (obviously she was not aware that Stella McCartney is one of the biggest antifur fashion activists). Hah! And that chief editor / owner claims herself a fashionista / trend setter.

GO TO F*CKING HELL, BIYOTCH!

Oh, and she suggested the name "socialista" instead of "socialite" in the magazine since someone actually uses the name "socialite" for his/her boutique. My God, and I thought I was dumb.

I'm just so... terribly annoyed by the fact that Indonesians living in Indonesia with the coldest temperature being only 14 degree celcius (in air-conditioned rooms in Jakarta, the biggest, most modern commercial city in Indonesia and the capital city of Indonesia) or 14 degree celcius in the mountains FEEL THE NEED TO ADD AND WEAR FUR IN THE FASHION TREND.

Seriously, I love fashion, I love fashion shows. And as long as I am there, there shall be no fur in the fashion shows at my hotel.

Ever.
