Today in "ludicrous consumption news", I acquired a fur coat. I would rather have a personal demonic milquetoast, but one makes do with what one has.

In my defense, I didn't really mean to. There was an ebay auction, and I put in the minimum bid as a lark, and then I won it, to my chagrin. It's not like I can wear it anywhere. It's dyed rabbit, which I think is the fur equivalent of polyester. But it is very warm, and I don't hold heat well on my own. Also, it makes me feel the very model of decadent monarchy.

(And, yes, it bothers me, but I eat meat and wear leather, and I have never had pretensions to saintliness.)

This post demands a photo of the fur coat in question. Dyed? What color? Please, I simply must know!

I will consider this idea carefully. I think it'd be tough to get a good shot.

It's not nearly as mammoth as the one in the comic, sadly. It's black, standard short jacket length, (guy's jacket, not those ridiculous short waist-length ones women wear) and it has these amazing broad shoulders. I swear, it doubles my width. Really contributes to the Henry VIII look.
