raoullefere:
T'wasn't storage: in conjunction with the other rings it was a kind of spirit trap, or suchlike. Which would be in keeping with Hanner's mom, to be sure.
One shudders to think what t-shirts are the Three, the Seven, and the Eight (at least one had to be screwed up in production and replaced by a "smiley face" shirt, because of course no one's going to notice).
Near Lurker:
Since when is Dora "leather pants buried in backyard" Bianci hung up about fur?
Watched Pot:
"fur" animals are generally much cuter and more protect-able than fat smelly cows. Hypocritical or not, there are plenty of people in the world who wouldn't wear fox/mink/etc. but have no hesitation in draping flayed cow hide over their bodies.
(for the record, i am a leather wearing, cow-chewing barbarian myself)
Is it cold in here?:
Leather's a byproduct: the cows would be killed anyway even if everyone renounced leather. Fur animals are killed because of their fur.
Fur has social-class ramifications. Dora wasn't wearing leather to be a snob. Fur has connotations of "look at me, I live on Park Avenue".
None of which rules out Dora being ethically inconsistent.
Mr_Rose:
It also fails to rule out "I don't want to get paint dumped on me by some fruitbat with a hate-on" option, which is also quite reasonable in a town where middle-aged women defend themselves from ranting strangers with phrases like "NPR totebag!"
