A CHANGE FOR "FUR NAZI" KARL LAGERFELD

Is it possible for a leper to change his sores? Uh, for a leopard to change his spots?

As unlikely as it seems, that may be the case with "Fur Nazi" Karl Lagerfeld, who has long been considered one of the creepiest of the animal-killer fashionistas.

Now it turns out he wishes he could marry a cat.

For a long time, "Fur Nazi" Lagerfeld was outspoken in his disdain and insensitivity to animal cruelty. Well, what the fuck, he and his disgusting and shallow bunch are also cruel to women, encouraging them to paint their faces and dance...to spend a fortune on smears and goo and especially overpriced shmattas.

The fashion world spits on women. Look at how miserable those models are on the runway, sullen and anorexic, walking like they had their legs broken in a concentration camp, confined in ridiculous "strappy" heels, and bent and crushed into outfits that only make them mince around and teeter and worry over their nipples and nails and knees and what should or shouldn't show. Total inhibition and fashion slavery.

For years, "Fur Nazi" Karl was among the most obnoxious of the designers, insisting there was nothing wrong with using fur. And while many changed their opinions, including Bill Blass, Lagerfeld continued to trivialize the pain and suffering and butchery of the fur industry.

There is NO excuse, NONE, for fur.

Synthetics are warmer. There is no way to get fur that does not involve death. And even if you collect pelts off old dead foxes and rabbits, it's still sending a disgusting message that it's somehow "glamorous" to wear stitched up corpses.

While most still think of Lagerfeld as some ghoul who must've been part of the Third Reich, he did begin to thaw in recent years, in terms of his cold view on furs.

A few years ago he switched to fake fur. PETA responded with a mildly agreeable “You cannot fake chic, but you can be chic in fake fur.”

NOW? Now "Fur Nazi" Karl is telling the world that a dumb animal is something to love and even marry. And that's the point. What IS the difference, Assholes of the World, between your pet dog and your pet cat and a leopard or a rabbit? A leopard, after all, IS a cat. And a rabbit can be a cuddly pet as much as a puppy. If you think your pet turtle or bird has feelings, and you wouldn't kill it and wear it as a hat, then why do that to any other animal?

There are children who are very happy with their pet mice, gerbils or guinea pigs. Try to explain to them why minks should be put to death just so a woman can primp around in a stole that doesn't even keep her warm. What's that say about cruelty and vanity? You can't even go to McDonalds and have a mink burger. It's a total fucking waste of the meat.

It's possible to be amused, and not disgusted, finally, with "Fur Nazi" Karl Lagerfeld.

Except he's still got one creepy old bastard of a face, and no outfit can make him look much better. Not even something from Calvin Klein.
