I watched some of this VH1 show "The fabulous Life of... Jennifer Lopez" while making a sandwhich.

They said she has over half a million dollars worth of fur in her wardrobe.

My god. Doesn't she feel guilty about all the animals that died for that? And apparently her favorite is Chinchilla fur. Has she ever SEEN a chinchilla? My day care used to ahve one as a pet. They are absolutely ADORABLE. Who could kill one?

It's a big, ugly river rat. And by big, I mean big. About the size of a housecat. We have them here in Texas and Louisiana. Dunno about anywhere else.

Oh, and I'm one of those hypocrites. :) I'll eat meat on occasion (rarely red though) but I don't like fur when there's perfectly fine synthetic substitutes available.

Well, if J-Lo can convince me she eats the meat off the 100 or so Chichillas that were killed from her coat, I'll retract my complaint.

i think eating chinchilla would be a lot like eating squirrel. & ipomoea's right about the nutria action, however, when nutria are trapped/hunted, their meat is harvested (ick, but true) as well as their pelts. nutria fur is a lot like beaver fur and is fabulously dense, but unlike beaver (mink, chinchilla, etc.) nutria fur is very dyeable. some of the most fabulous colored furs are nutria. & they're derned cheap too.

yeah, i know i made some people angry. i'm sorry if i truly offended anyone. i was exposed to both animal rights and the glamour of fur at an early age. my opinions about fur are more than tongue-in-cheek, but i do love my mink stole, mink wrap, & mink-collared coats. dearly. & ipomoea, i've got to disagree with you on fur substitues. ;) faux fur is fun (i have not one, but two "hooker coats"), but there is nothing as warm as mink. (well, down, but i wouldn't be caught dead at a dogfight sporting the northface action.)

I forbid that anyone on my friends list be truly offended in my journal. In fact, I'll make that a rule: BEING HONESTLY OFFENDED BY ANYTHING EXCEPT JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AND JOHN ASHCROFT IS NOT ALLOWED. You can only be offended at outside things, not people here. My journal is truly-offend free, a place of fun debate and lively argument, where respect is shared and mean people are mooned then shunned. :)

i reserve the right to be offended by the thought of ben affleck wearing one of j-lo's chinchilla ass-slings.

Ok, I'll add Bennifer to my allowed list. Because I seriously doubt anyone will be capaigning in favor of that anyway.
