Does it mean she doesn’t wear leather neither and is a vegetarian? Well, no! On the contrary! She loves leather and is being spotted in leather all the time. Why is wearing fur considered a big NO but wearing leather is OK? And what about eating meat? I mean, if we go around killing cattle for leather and meat and see nothing morally wrong in that, why it is immoral to wear fur? It’s slightly hypocritical, isn’t it? I wear leather and silk, and eat meat… and yes, I also like wearing fur. And I do not see anything wrong in it since all my fur has the Origin Assured label (www.originassured.com) so I know that it comes from a country where they care about animal welfare. Nika

She did wear fur, according to a New Yorker profile (she left her mink someplace). Let’s hope that’s all behind her. I bet it is.

Parrish – totally posting this on my Facebook page!

I hope the first lady makes the right choice to set an example and go fur free.

Based on the media reports of her sartorial decisions so far and their impacts, her inauguration style will no doubt be widely copied.

so going fur-free for the event, regardless of whatever she wore in the past, is really really really important.

Somehow I have the feeling she had not even thought of wearing fur. Has she even ever worn any?

Not only have they *not* adopted a dog yet, but there's still rumors on the internets that they plan on buying one.

No difference between fur and wearing leather or eating meat.
