The Power of Fur

 

Thought that would get your attention . . . (!)

 

We all can relate to that idea, right? I mean, given our "magnificent obsession" and the magical sensuality we all know that fur possesses . . . !

 

Sableman has just written another fantasy story, which can be found on his Yahoo group, Sablemans_stories, and he has named it, The Fur Domination Class. The story (well, Chapter One of a continuing story . . .) has everything to do with "the power of fur!"

 

My only question is, "Where can I find a class like that? The Duchess and I will enroll tomorrow!" (Well, even if "Sable" won't let me enroll, I'm "bound" to enjoy the residual benefits . . . !) Now, I know you don't know what I mean by that, but if you'll read the story, you'll find out! You have to have a Yahoo account, and you have to join Sableman's group, but I think you'll find it was worth the effort - !

Every time I read the title of this thread I hear Huey Lewis and the News ...

 

The power of Fur is a curious thing

Make one man weep, make another man sing

Change a hawk to a little white dove

More than a feeling, that's the power of Fur ...

I tried to find an old post I made when I had my fur shop. Couldn't get the archives to work. Maybe I can find it later.

 

If you ever watched people react to fur when no one is watching, when they have never been around it before. It is just wonderful.

 

Countless times I have had customers turn to me abruptly and say with a lot of mean, "What is it about fur?!"

 

They can feel it, they sense it. I would smile and say something like, "Yes. There sure is! Amazing isn't it?"

 

This was especially funny to watch when small groups of women would come in after a few drinks. Gosh, they were funny!!

Here is one from this forum:

 

 

I have had this story inside for almost a year now. I knew it would take time to properly explain and edit. Today seems to be the day to tell this almost surreal event. Always write my long posts in the morning with a strong cup of coffee!

 

It is a topic that has been touched upon over the last year a few times. I remember in particular one thread on the old den that Piotr started.

 

First, I need to give you a little background information:

 

Last November, I had to go to a nearby town for an appointment. This was during a blizzard, and we had several feet of snow on the ground. So, I wore my very long, dark brown, longhair beaver. I love this fur. It is silky in texture, . . . and oh, so warm! Makes me feel like I am tucked into this wonderful layer of protection . . . like a nurturing envelope.

 

While I was there I decide to stop at Walmart to pick up a few things.

 

In reflecting upon this event, my trip was mid-day and during the week, so there were a lot of mom's with small children shopping.

 

I am a person that loves small children, but I find pets are usually better behaved. I will smile at a beautiful little child as I pass; but, I cannot resist a Golden Retriever! So, I am not one that usually interacts with small children when I am shopping. And, I honestly cannot remember having a child seek me out in all my resent years but once. Plus, shopping is not one of my favorite things. I just get in the store and out as quickly as possible. Although, Bob would argue that point!

 

Have you ever had something happen that occurred quickly and yet it had such an impact on you that the event replayed in your mind in snapshots? It is like in reflecting on the event, it turns into a slow playing slide-show and you are an actor and the observer?

 

I found myself with my head tilted to the side and my eyes bugging out as it unfolded. Before joining The Fur Den, this could have happened, and I would have never even noticed what was unfolding.

 

This is what happened in about a minute's time:

 

Bob and I turned our cart down the spice aisle and passed a lady with a little girl who seemed to be a larger than you would expect to have in cart seat. But, she was too young to be in school.

 

Have you ever tried to ignore a child that is trying to make an important point to you? First they will say it in a normal tone. And, the longer you ignore them, the more they will repeat their communication? And, with each repetition their tone gets more insistent and louder?

 

This is little girl first said to her mother in a normal tone, "Mommy, look at that beautiful coat!" Her Mother, who was busy shopping, glanced at me and kept shopping, ignoring her child's comments.

 

The little girl repeated the comment again, this time with more emotion and a little louder. Saying, "MOMMY!!! Look at the beautiful coat!" She was twisted completely around in her cart seat as I turned back to smile at her.

 

I was slowly walking forward as this very quick interaction occurred. As I turned back to look where I was going, there was an unattended cart in my path with a small little boy, maybe a year old. He was grinning ear-to-ear, so much so that he was about to lose his pacifier. This child had the look on his face that is one you see when a child has just seen something that he REALLY like. (. . . or, a male who has just fallen in lust with a new lady! )

 

I just about stumbled around his cart. I have never had this reaction from children before. Both of these children who were with different parents were completely taken by my presence. Then I realized it was the fur!!

 

I hope somehow I have communicated the event where you can see what I experienced. These children were reacting on an instinctual basis. They knew there was something about the fur they wanted to be near. They felt the appreciation, power and the attraction of the fur.

 

I will never forget that brief interaction. I will always believe that our love and attraction to fur is part of the genetic coding that we receive. And, just as the love of a sunset , . . . or a wonderful open fire is comforting beyond the actual event, I believe fur is as well.

 

Time and time again, I have seen people come into my shop and experience the power of fur for the first time. They are always shocked and amazed at their reaction. Now not everyone reacts to it this way; But, many do!

 

I have first hand experienced that fur is not just a fabric. It is much, much more. And, those that have forgotten, or never experienced this reaction, have lost out on this wonderful gift.

 

Can fur be a fetish? Of course! But, anything can be. But, does that mean my reaction to fur IS a fetish? I think not.

 

For me, my love of fur is nothing I want labeled with a negative, guilt provoking label. It is wonder, natural and normal. I feel so blessed to have experienced this wonderful gift from Nature.

My reaction (and I'm guessing most Denizen's reactions) to fur is instinctive. Beautiful fur -- whether a cat's coat, a superb mink coat, or a lush fur throw -- rivets my attention. Time seems to stand still and I simply want to touch it ... Appreciate it ... Revel in it.
