We've all noticed by now that fur is all over the runways: big shaggy jackets, lush collars and shawls, gauntlets, and even fur boots and bags. But now as sleeves, too? At several shows for fall, arms alone have been covered in thick, shaggy fur. At Aquilano e Rimondi, fur arms gave the classic tweed coat an animalistic makeover, and the huge, fluffy shoulders of fur at Dolce & Gabbana added immense bulk to an otherwise ladylike silhouette. The overall look is more gorilla than chic, and we, for one, would rather our extremities not resemble King Kong. Click ahead to see these and more furry arms.

Am i'm missing something...
Maybe its the influence of and my proclivity for post feminism, but this doesn't bother me at all.
Appears that M.I.A. (???) was at the Grammy's in quite an outfit, because she's pregnant it caused a stir, I guess. Aside from the god-awful polka dots I don't see what the big deal is. But over at XX Factor there were words of disapproval:
Plus regarding the question of debasing lyrics towards women in rap songs isn't this exactly what we want to point out to young men? Yo, kids, its not all fun and games... you create babies this way!
Sex in our culture is all flipped topsy turvy... but this doesn't seem big to me.

I'm not a fashion connoisseur or a hip-hop etiquette expert, or even a mother, but I don't think this disqualifies me from being able to ask the following question: What the heck was the very-pregnant rap artist M.I.A thinking when she went on stage during the Grammy Awards show on Sunday wearing this utterly ridiculous outfit?First there is some weird subconscious fear of sex that seems to be popping up, whenever a cultural conservative is around.
The imagery of a scantily-clad, or should I say scandalously-clad, pregnant young women dancing on stage with a bunch of male rappers whose rhymes sometimes debase women, was just too much for me. And don't even get me started on what this cringe-worthy antic might say to impressionable teenage girl fans.
