Fur-free First Ladies

First ladies Michelle Obama and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy (hailing from France) are up in arms against wearing fur. In response to a query made by PETA, Bruni-Sarkozy wrote, “I do not wear, buy, or own fur.” The organization was concerned that a recent fashion choice was real, not faux. Obama’s deputy press secretary Semonti Mustaphi was equally to-the-point on the subject, confirming that Michelle “does not wear fur.” Here’s to knowing that US’ first lady will continue to choose bare arms over (bear) fur.
