Comments on the last post got me thinking a little harder about my favorites, so I decided to try and get them down, all official-like. So here is my entirely subjective personal opinion on the top 12 fur-wearing actresses of the last 80 or so years (mainly minus the last 20 since they… sucked).

Imagine my surprise when I discovered one of the single best images of 30’s fur fashion did not appear to be on Flickr.

While television… Read More Furs on Film – The Annabel Films (1938)
This series of posts will focus on a single film, one in which fur fashion is notably well represented. This set is based on a recent update of one of the first galleries, and I’m leaving both galleries up just to see how much better I am at this than I used to be. First… Read More Furs in Film – Roberta (1935)
