baby its cold outside!


Mama, it's cold outside!
Don't I look awesome in my new winter coat?
We went out today wearing our warm winter coats.
No more wool coats and naked doggies!
yes -brrr its finally winter over here now.
Its about time right?
so time for coats of down and berber linings (that fuzzy lining)
They have salted the sidewalks so much at our building I almost thought about getting Lola some winter booties, but then her and I both agreed that that would be total insanity!
She is a terrier and has a little wirey coat, so she actually requires
her new plaid coat. Her sweater doesnt have a hood like this one does.
Plus if she is the dog of a fashionista, she must dress the part.
The other day we met "Nola" and she was wearing a powder pink
bubble coat with snaps, Lola thought it was lame -so did I.
And "Nola"? she was trying SO hard to be LOLA.
We also ran into a scruffy little dog and he was wearing
a colbalt blue fleece Paul Frank hoodie, nice for Fall weather, but not suitable
for the -10 icy elements today.
Nor as chic.
Lola and I are actually anti-Burberry right now as they still use fur in their lines,
but we hope they realize soon that fur is not cool or fashionable.
Burberry continues to use fur in its designs despite the fact that leading clothing retailers like Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, Ann Taylor, Polo Ralph Lauren, and others have pulled fur from their stores forever.
"When plaid goes bad"
Ok I promised to keep this light and friendly!
sorry folks!
I also told Dave this year I should try to attempt to go full out vegetarian
as I care so much for my animal friends.
eitherway, I will be called a hypocrite or a Uber hippy. Whats the nicer of the 2?
I have gone 4 years without major fastfood chains (a $20 bet/joke started in college)
Anyway, I will try and report the progress here at the Pblog. Maybe that will help.
For my brown belt karate training I went a year without
ice cream, all types of cheese and all pizza! -yes pizza. Ok and all junk food.
I guess the Guinness made up for my stressful diet though? ha!
Somehow I got to a size 4 through diet and insane training.
But I can honestly say that I felt amazing and it worked wonders cutting out garbage.
New year, back to all that good stuff. (but more veggie pizza's though for sure!)
Ok back to peta, yes I have been bashed for supporting them in the past, and I DO find their methods a tad on the extreme side, but if you watch the below you will see why fur is awful.
I used to work with it and also with leather (aka: "skins") and have seen enough rabbit pelts and pig skin to make anyone sick.
enjoy!
