London people into animal rights! READ.

Campaign for a fur-free Brick Lane, demonstration outside Moda Show, 220 Brick Lane, E1 6SA from 12pm - 4pm, this Sunday.

As you may or may not know, there's a lot of shops on Brick Lane that sell real fur. The worst of these is Moda Show, it stocks fox, rabbit, chinchilla, mink, kangaroo skin and coyote, as well as others because according to them they can get any type of fur you want.

This is a regular protest, it happens every Sunday. The people who organise it are really nice, gets quite a good turnout, and I will definately hopefully be there. If you can come along that'd be awesome.

I don't see why people don't just wear faux fur. It looks just the same.

Sorry, not taking the piss, but that made me laugh out loud.

Why? I can't tell the difference between a faux fur coat and a real fur coat.

I know, that's the point of faux fur though - you're not supposed to be able to tell the difference. I'm just in a strange mood tonight, I think.

That's exactly what I said in the first place.

This is a bizarre conversation.

Apparently we aren't going to be able to finish it!

I can tell you're disappointed!

I can tell you're disappointed!

Is it that apparent?

Back to my question, though. Why do people wear real fur when they faux fur--which looks exactly the same--is an easy alternative?

I think because it's like a status thing because it's so expensive.

I'm guessing because of the snobbery of, 'Oh, it's fake! *turns nose up* Why not have the real thing?'

I don't know if I could come, sadly. I'd feel bad, because I'm only seeing my Dad one day this week, and that day is Sunday.

Awwh, fair enough. Next weekend, maybe?

Has anyone ever actually worn a fur coat? When I was little I put on my great-grandmother's mink one. It was super heavy and hot and itchy. Not very comfy.

I'll see if I can.

Nope. My grandma wants to leave her one for me in her will. I have no idea why she thinks this is a good idea.
