Mike: I think you are correct. I probably last saw one when I was about four years old, and I would imagine they seemed incredibly ferocious to me. So I remember teeth instead of a clamp.

I also think I did a lot of averting of my eyes.

Here is a link showing a 4 pelt stole as it would have been worn in the 1940′s

Here is an e-bay item.
If you look at the 3rd picture, it shows the black spring clip at the mouth to hold the ends. I remember my Grandmother use to have one. I remember the tail, body and feet but not the teeth and skull. It may be your memory is playing tricks on you. The hides would have been tanned and after that trying to get the skull back into the hide would have been difficult.

Paloma was the first “to perform” at the T4′s Stars of 2009. Sorry I missed it. I wonder what she did?

You have to step back and look at the way the fur is arranged. It is intended to increase her fertility and her husband’s/boyfriend’s virility.

*turfmann,

couple days ago I was passing by Macy’s at Herald Square and had to navigate through large crowd of deranged anti-fur activists in front of the 7th Ave entrance. They were screaming and posing for the cameras, as it’s the busiest time of the year at the busiest NY retail block.- there were thousands of shoppers for the audience.

funny, how that crowd chose not to demonstrate in front of numerous fur workshops and wholesales of the garment fur district, only a block or two down the Avenue. I bet they wouldn’t like the reaction.

Great post, turfmann. You’re dead on right of course. I’ve always thought the “cuddle factor” had a lot to do with the faux fur outrage. The cuddle-ier the animal is the more furiously it causes liberals to gnash their teeth. You don’t see them whining about alligator or snakeskin.
