Things that make me want to be violently ill

case in point - this bullshit 'fashion label' recently making stomachs turn nation wide - WildMai (if that Is your Real name)

This 'new and exciting label established in Melbourne' seems to have confused fashion with Trailer Park Bondage and I for one Am Not Amused (well, you know, Technically I'm amused, but in the direction of disgust, not in the Stephen Fry quips and witticism way)

However, I digress from what triggered this rant (because if I was mentally fatigued by every bit of clothing I didn't find aesthetically pleasing I wouldn't have time to let my blue cheese reach room temperature before I eat it, let alone blog).

The real reason I wanted to do this post was after seeing a comment on ol WildMai's facebook:
'oh yes all our hideous $300 fur vest are real fur'. Uh, pardon, did you say REAL? 

Are You for Fucking Real? Real fur. 

Oh yes, I love the smell of carcass-on-the-side-of-the-road-in-soviet-russia-paid-for-this-heinous-piece-of-clothing Real.

I take back all the self-justification bullshit I spouted on fur, because hell, I thought I was defending wearing my vintage finds, I didn't think assholes were still making this shit. I guess I figured that after Chanel did faux fur - that if heart-of-flint Karl was ready to recognise the end of fur - everyone would follow. But trust these fuckers over at Wildmai to bring reality crashing back.

So, now I don't know what to think anymore. Maybe they are pest animal furs, and maybe this shit is all humane and above board, 

but no matter what, they can't justify what is an undeniably inhumane truth:

My Eyes Are Permanently Seared By How Fucking Ugly These Clothes Are

like, this shit's for real

Post Script - I trawled back so far though the Nigel No Trends archives looking for some gif that would convey my disgust. I didn't find one. But I did find this:

The Fury of the Furry

 -outfit I wore to a free lunch that someone filmed and will eventually be on the telly-

some thoughts on fur: in Australia there are some animals - rabbits and foxes in particular - that are killed in mass to help protect native flora and fauna from destruction (or kangaroos which often reach plague proportions and pose great problems to farmers). I personally have no issue with wearing the furs of pest animals. In fact I find it more environmentally sound to use these byproducts in a productive manner which may ultimately protect other animals from being hunted for their furs. Though I have never bought new fur, always vintage, so I don't feel I've ever actively supported the current industry, despite some lovely purchases.

But anyway, let's focus for a moment on the truly important thing about this outfit - I'm wearing shit loads shed loads of pink:

Yeh!
