Does Stevie wear fur?

[Jondalar]

Does anyone know if Stevie wears fur? Real fur. I've seen some pics but I don't know if the fur is real or manufactured. I'm really curious.

[Tango]

Yes she does. She's had them for years--there's at least a dozen pictures of her in light and dark furs.

[Tango]

here's one

uggg, not cool

I suppose there are folks that don't find a lot of things in her history very cool. :shrug:

A letter I wrote to Stevie sometime in the mid 00's:

"Dear Stevie,

Let me start off by saying that I have been a fan of yours since 1983. I was a teen and I was in North Carolina visiting my cousin for the summer. We had MTV on and that is where I first saw your video for “Stand Back.” I was immediately drawn to your presence. I loved the song, your voice, and your style. “Stand Back” remains one of my favorites to this day, although “Twisted” takes top notch. I just want to say thank you for years of great music. You have been a true “inspiration”, another great song by the way.

Stevie, I realize this letter may not even reach you. I’m know you have staff to help you through the tons of letters and emails you must receive on a daily basis, but I’m sending you this letter today for what I feel is a very important reason. I never really knew that you wear real fur. People say you do. I’ve never been one to pay too much attention to all the details of your clothing, I just know that you are beautiful and your style is great. However, it does sadden me to learn that you may wear real fur. I do not need to go into great detail of the abuse and torture that animals go through because of this. It is totally unnecessary. Nobody needs to wear real fur. Many fashion designers have removed real fur from their clothing line. You have the money; there is great looking fake fur out there that you can wear. If in fact it is true that you wear real fur, it is unfortunate because to me it goes against the compassion that you exhibit on many other levels. Please make the compassionate choice and stop wearing real fur.

Thank you! "

Yes, I think wearing fur is a cruel and barbaric practice. But to be honest, I think the harvesting of animals for food and leather, especially on an industrial scale, is also cruel and barbaric. I don't want to tell people how to live their lives, but I do find it difficult to reconcile killing/eating/wearing some animals (the ugly ones), yet vilifying the wearing of other animals (the cute ones). As far as I'm concerned, welfare for animals is universal, and it doesn't matter whether they are cute/cuddly or not. You either condone animal cruelty or you don't, period. Accordingly, if a person makes the personal decision to eat meat and wear leather, why not wear fur too? :shrug: I know that's not a popular stance, but at least they're being consistent. What would be especially egregious is if Stevie went around spouting about militant veganism and wearing fur at the same time. But from what we can tell, Mama loves her steak, which is unfortunate (especially given the history of heart disease in her family), but she is a grown woman who can make her own decisions.

Thank God she wears real fur...

Don't worry. I'm sure her coats are just made from her arm hair.

She only wears real fur if it's fabulou$. She doesn't wear crummy real fur, of course.

I don't know... the sheen on that black coat she's wearing several posts up reeks of fake fur to me. Perhaps that's just the paparazzi flash lighting, though.

I agree... I am pretty sure she has been photographed with real and faux fur. I think faux fur looks pretty cheap 90% of the time. But I DO love the look of actual beast fur on a lady.

[Jondalar]

I would suggest moving this thread to chit chat and changing the title because this thread is supposed to be about whether or not Stevie wears real or fake fur.

Well, at least Stevie did the right thing by not having a child she could not devote enough attention too. She thought about her decision. She just didn't pop out babies like popcorn.

I recently became a vegetarian after learning about the slaughterhouses and I've known for a while how fur is obtained. Really quite disappointed in Stevie. :distress:

She hasn't been spotted in real fur in decades, since it stopped being politically correct. Just look at the stuff she wears now, clearly fake:

I have a coonskin cap. I guess that's worse than being a baby killer.

[madeline]

Coonskin cap? Baby killer? Did you have a point there? What are you talking about?

Here is an interview with her in fur

This is from the Today Show in 2003. Looks real, but I'm no expert.

I meant after reading some earlier posts in this thread and others
that people seem to have more concern for animals than humans.
Abortion is tolerated, killing an animal for a coat is not.

My coonskin cap is from my childhood days. Just so you know.

[SisterNightroad]

This thread is going way off topic...

[bombaysaffires]

I agree this forum has gone off topic, but I feel compelled to point out the irony that frequently people who argue abortion is wrong because it is killing tolerate torturing and killing animals for human pleasure (shoes, fur coats, etc). Pointing out the inconsistencies of others doesn't negate one's own.

That is factual, no matter what your stance is on the matter. The same way when you go see a disaster movie where a tidal wave is coming and it washes away 500 people, but the whole audience gasps when the dog is about to get swept away.

I'm glad that Bob Barker is still fighting for animal rights at 91 .I'm not into fur coats.Its like skinning people and wear their skin. I thought Stevie 's were not the real thing.

[madeline]

Wasn't there an article somewhere where Stevie was buying 2 fur coats after she had money, and one of her friends asked her if she was really going to do that and she said, "Yes I am".

Me personally, I'm against both. But yeah most people are hypocritical like that.

I believe that was in Details magazine from 1994, I remember that. :distress:

[johnnystorms]

who CARES if she wears fur??? let's get back to our cheeseburgers

[AnthonyMI]

There is really nothing wrong with wearing vintage fur. She never throws stuff out. She recycles stuff all the time. plus she takes care of her stuff. It is already dead. Someone murdered it a long time ago. It really does not justice to throw it out just because it was made of a dead animal. I think a lot of her fur is vintage, meaning she bought it before the age of kookie vegan hipsters came about.


Stevie enjoys steakhouses too. Next people will want her to give up steak.

I had a hamburger for lunch and my belts are all leather. Moo! :laugh:

[iamnotafraid]

Moo! :laugh:

I don't know how much steak she eats,
but she definitely likes her food. How
do I know this? Her hips don't lie.

:laugh: however, I will say that with age, particularly as hormones change, your body expands no matter how little you eat or how much you exercise. You can only control it so much. She's in very good shape for being almost 70 for pete's sake. Remember, photos make you look at least 10 lbs heavier than you are (so if you ever see someone in photos or on tv/film who actually looks skinny on film, they are going to be painfully thin in person).

Her fur is vintage now, but it wasn't when she bought it. And she bought it in the 70s, which was definitely after the age of kookie vegan hipsters (then known as hippies) came around. Stevie is a kookie hippie and a materialistic capitalist all at once. She likes her incense and candles AND she likes her presidential suites, fur coats and limos. :nod:

I don't think we will get her confused with Angelina Jolie anytime soon.
Really I think Angelina could borrow a little weight from Stevie. It would
do them both some good.

yes, Angelina is actually looking rather skeletal these days.:distress:
