Rich people don’t care
Some stuff about fur. I’m not even sure if I really care about the poor lamb fetuses, but there are some very interesting quotes in this article.
“Very often they do not know what they are looking at. They just think it’s pretty.”
“She’s buying fashion. She’s not going into Prada and asking, ‘Where did this come from?’ It’s like when somebody goes and buys a diamond. They’re not asking what mine it came from either.”
Yeah, people have been trying to spread the news about the effed-up way the diamond trade operates for years, but I don’t even think most people know about the relationships between guns and diamonds. It’s true, you might be supporting a civil war. I would almost rather buy cocaine than diamonds. Well, maybe not. But there are a lot of rich people who buy both.
Am I trying to indict fashion consumers as self-absorbed and uncaring? OMG, this post is ending now.

cocaine is way cheaper than diamonds, except that with diamonds you can just buy one and you’re done, and cocaine you have to keep buying.
Okay, that comment is sorta scary. Please tell me everything is okay in New York.
cedric that was just an informative fact, give me a break.
Haha, I thought maybe I could get a “please” out of you, but “give me a break” is just fine.
