Runway the wrong way
Time was, people had to kill their own food. Any animals they ate, they had to murder with their bare hands, or with arrows and spears whittled by hand. The beasts of nourishment had to be stalked, grappled with, and taken down in violent battle.
So you know, it was understandable, back then, that a person might feel the desire to wear an animal's head as a hat, to say, "Look what I defeated in the great fight to survive!"
Those days are long gone. Now, we pick up ground beef from the refrigerator case at Safeway – and it doesn't even look like it used to be an animal.
For some reason, though, haute couture designer Jean Paul Gaultier still feels the need to reassert man (and woman's) place at the top of the food chain. That's how we ended up seeing these monstrosities at the Paris Fashion Week runway.
Can't you just smell the road-kill odor wafting off of these hats? They bring back bad memories of a horrible high-school zoology project that required learning taxidermy skills. What would Snow White say? I'm sure no one thanked those woodland creatures for giving up their lives so the tribe wouldn't starve. I'm sure no one gave praise to the fox gods. Murdered by a drunk driver on the interstate or buy a twisted high-end fashion designer – there has to be a more dignified way to go.
C'mon now, let's give the animal kingdom its propers.
