The Perfect Furry Storm

Nigella in foilEverything about this story is a joy. 1) New York Magazine, 2) Nigella Lawson, 3) Fur, 4) peeved PETA. What’s not to love?

PETA is not pleased with television chef Nigella Lawson. When asked on BBC1’s The One show if she thought the fashion industry should outlaw fur, Nigella replied that she would wear it if she could kill the animal herself. The host asked what she would think of fur-wearing celebrities who started wearing dog or cat fur, and Nigella blurted out, “I’d love a dog or a cat!’’ Then she made a stabbing motion and added, “Going into a shop and buying a fur coat would be an act of weakness. But if I could go into the woods and kill a bear myself, I would wear it proudly as a trophy.’’

  • Alaska
    If people don't want to wear fur, that's fine. I wont make them. But until they spend a winter in Galena, Alaska, wearing only synthetics and no fur, then frankly, they don't know what the fuck they're talking about. At -50 below, fur's insulating properties can't be beat.

    And if Nigella wants to come up here and hunt fur bearing animals, I'll be happy to show her how. Somehow, i think it would be a lot of fun to hunt beaver with her.
  • That Guy
    I never used to understand the obsession with this woman.

    Until now. I want to go stab a bear with her...
  • When will the media hold PETA accountable for all the surrendered healthy pets they have euthanized in vans in front of the homes where they collected the animals?

    Good for Nigella for standing up to those half-wits.
  • Ever notice that PETA and ALF idiots will throw red paint at celebrities or old ladies and terrorize school children standing in line for a Circus, but they never try anything similar with bikers wearing leather. Cowards and morons.
