Or if she wants something from it, put it on consignment somewhere.
If she really wants something from it, take Thurgreed's suggestion.

She already got what she wanted from it.

The minks are already dead. I say you wear it.

2. What's the worst that can happen? Someone from PETA throws paint on it? Win-win.

If TM had not done the long version, I might have suggested that you soak it in gasoline and burn it in protest of furs everywhere. While wearing it.

Damn you, TM.

And after she yanked me off with it, I would give it to a homeless 17 year old on Haight and claim a huuuuge tax deduction.

I believe that support needs to go to people like William Pope L, Andrea Zittel, The Art Guys, and anyone else who does installations.
I get a little wary when I see those lofty ideals expressed as the purpose of these projects `cause they're usually the lofty ideals of white people. I'm not sure the exhibits are having the "cultural" effect some intend. With "The Gates" (the only one I have poked fun at) I heard a lot of grandiose hoopla that bordered on snobbery and patronizing. These exhibits are usually way cool, but nobody likes to hear artists (or, more typically, their supporters) wax poetic about bringing art to "the little people." To be sure, I think some of these things are super cool (except those goddamn cows!) but the average working man is not going to pop wood over some femmy guy named Christo who wraps shit in foil. On the other hand, a skyscraper-sized puppet show like the one in "Being John Malkovich" might have been enjoyed by a much sizier chunk of the population. [sarcasm] Especially if, like all those lovely new kids movies with talking animals, you had the requisite jive-talking puppet thrown in there. [/sarcasm]

We have a big clothespin here in Philly, and a huge metal cube that says "Love." I find both terribly cruel. "You can't afford a dryer" and "You'll die alone" are not messages to smash Sally Sixpack with on her way into the Comcast Borg.

I see. On the one hand, the working class [minority] stiff isn't going to get it and we should just dumb it down, and on the other, the effort to bring the art to the general public is patronizing and the working class [minority] stiff is offended by the implication that he needs art in his life.

Maybe they're just getting some payback for the ideals expressed in the art created by poor minorities. Of course now, all these high-falutin' art types can't get enough graffiti.
