Worker 11811 Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Time to play the "Fake or Fur" game! The rules are simple: Take a look at the picture below. Tell us what you think? Is it fake? Or is it fur? (Click the pic!) Don't just answer "Fake" or "Fur". Give us your reasoning too! At first, I looked at it and thought it was fake. Then I looked again and thought that it might be sheepskin or something like llama or alpaca. If it's REAL fur, it stays in the gallery. If it's FAKE... Bye bye, Baby!

White Fox Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Nope. The girl is definitely not fake! I looked at her very carefully! W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furfan Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 In my opinion, I'd have to definitely say fake. Not the least bit furry, comfy/cozy, or inviting. I won't be saving this one. But that's of course only my thoughts. Thanks for posting regardless. FurFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worker 11811 Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 No worries, FurFan. That's the name of the game. We want to hear peoples thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auzmink Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Flokatilla rug I think, fake, but yes the girl is REAL - ! Auzmink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FurLoverinFL Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I'm hoping the 'fur' is fake. IMO it kinda looks like an ugly shag carpet... The girl is pretty hot though! FLinFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKcoyote Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 I think the "fur" is fake. The matting pattern is similar to what can happen to a thick sheepskin if not maintained. However, the one part of the pile that is not matted is too long for any fur except Islandic sheepskin, but the density or "hairs" per square inch appears too high for Islandic sheepskin.

foxkid Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Fake because I can't recognise it as being real from an animal of some sort. It seems close to some sorts of lamb but doesn't quite cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovefur2 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I would say it is a cross-over between real and fake. A flokati is a Hand-Woven Wool Rug using long strands from the sheep's coat. It is lighter than a sheep skin rug and more flexible. For example: http://www.flokati.com/flokati.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kappa Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I'll agree, the woman is real.. but that rug in my opinion is fake. I've seen some shag carpeting that looks real similar.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frugalfurguy Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Actually for me it's not fur even if it is genuine woolskin. That's a semantic difference, I guess. I generally don't care for woolskin as I do for furskin. So I know it's not fur by what I consider fur, but I can't be certain it's not real sheepskin of some mangled sort or other. Since I couldn't vote for simply "not fur," I voted the next best thing of fake. As for the person featured, well I chose not to scroll to where I'd see all of her--not sure of what was there in the thumbnail. If she's real, I'm most real and true to my inner child not to want to see her in that situation, seeing I don't know her, let alone know what she felt lying there for the photo. For me to be functionally there with anyone in such a setting, I would have to care about how she feels. That's my take on it and not intended as judging anoyone else's. frugalfurguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 The Shaggy Carparilla sprang full blown from the fertile imagination of a young Interior Design student whos father ran a plastics plant in the late 40's OFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like that quality in a person. Any woman who ends up with you as her man surely will be lucky. If she turns out to be a fur lover... Well, WATCH OUT! ********** You know, I thought this would be an easy picture to identify but I never imagined it would be THIS easy! Wow! A vote of 14 to 1 against! You guys are GOOD! I'm going to have to look harder for another picture that won't be so easy for you to guess! If anybody has suggestions, go ahead and upload to the gallery and put the phrase "Fake or fur?" in the comment box. I'll try to make sure that the member who submits the picture gets credit.

lynxette Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Possibility that it is real sheepskin of some sort, but I have always had a hard time considering this to be fur, although it is classified as such in the fur industry. I will go with faux for this reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
