Entry: Would You Wear Faux Fur?

Faux fur is made from petroleum, hence the cost. It takes about a barrel of crude to make one bomber length faux fur coat. That's what cracks me up about vegan clothing - save the animals, kill the planet.

Oh, Alison, don't do it! This menorah is very cheap-looking in real life. I used to sell these in my shop a few years ago (they did sell well). Any time I've seen this menorah, it's had a huge mark-up. It wholesales for $12.

38, mom. Depending on my mood I wear Creed Tubereuse Indiana, Stella, Quelques Fleurs L'Original, La Base, Estee Lauder Private Collection, or Fracas (husband's favorite).
