Horrors of Fashion

I’m wondering what the thought process behind this purse was. Why would you desecrate grandma’s lovely embroidered purse with clearly-not-actually-leopard-fur? I mean, who’s going to believe that anyone went to the trouble to kill a leopard just to have it sewn onto a purse that is simply not leopard-appropriate? I may be missing some steps in the fur trade process, but you get the idea.
Wait, that is, like, just dyed rabbit fur, right? Or dyed faux fur? They uh…they don’t actually use leopard fur, right?
RIGHT?

Something about the round toe and the thin ankle makes this look a lot like a short rainboot. But oh wait! It has a wedge heel, and some clever person has slapped on the hide of a freshly skinned zebra! That makes it fashion, right?

This is the unwanted, velvet bastard child of a high-heeled wedge and a tennis shoe. No one loves it.

I’m really sorry, but this looks to me like a giant, saggy, furry testicle. I don’t want it on my arm.
