Do some people pick out clothing with a state of mind that's like the way other people pick out a pet?

"Dramatic and larger than life in exceptionally fluffy faux fur, this whimsical, oversize coat expresses the beautiful oddness of the Spring 2015 Collection."

If I were looking for something exceptionally fluffy to express beautiful oddness, I'd be shopping for a dog.

One needs to learn reading Fur People's language. And that is not a sexist statement.

I kept thinking "nice singer but not Janis Joplin" (who seems to be an influence.)

Fashion is one thing, but pets are another. I, for one, admire greatly a family friend who once brought home from the pound the ugliest dog I have ever seen.

The friend explained his thinking thusly: He wanted a dog that would never want to leave his home to go back where it came from, a dog that would never be stolen by pet thieves, a dog that would always appreciate the love shown him. So an incredibly ugly pound dog was perfect. And he was correct, that dog was a wonderful pet. Sure was ugly, though. Almost as ugly as some recent fashion.
