She was wearing porcupine quills at the Oscars...

I saw this lady walking around in the background of the red carpet who had the top half of her dress made out of porcupine quills. They were woven together to look like a bodice or corset. It looked more like one of those stereotypical Native American beaded breast-plate, like you see in the movies.

But um.... yeah. It's not fur, and they wouldn't have to hurt the porcupine to get them, so does that mean I can appreciate how cool it looked without feeling guilty?

The only other time I've seen porcupine quills worn before was in a movie - Practical Magic, where one of the actresses wore them in her hair to hold her bun in place. Has anyone seen them worn elsewhere?

If it didn't hurt the porcupine and they aren't caged up and all to harverst them then I guess your clear, lol. I haven't seen porcupine quills being worn anywhere, so I can't really say whether or not I'd like it.

Peace,

Haven't seen them either but they sure sound interesting!

that sounds hot.. I'm not an animal activist though..

I wear leather shoes and eat beef and my cat plays with fur toys... your asking the wrong person here about some quills.
