The Very Bearable Uncle Karl

August 24, 2008 in International Flair, That's Just Wrong, Toys with 2 Comments

Karl Loves Bears!

Like some ambiguous, night-cloaked Drosselmeyer of the velvet underground, demented couturier Karl Lagerfeld continually brings the gift of confused, vaguely uncomfortable delight to little bloggers everywhere.

Yesterday, cougars. Today, bears. Tomorrow???

He’s made a fancypants teddy bear that will retail at Neiman Marcus for a completely reasonable $1,500. Lagerfeld is very optimistic about the ursine species “bears are very nice, as long as you are nice to them.”

That is probably true, although I’m only guessing. Something tells me that our dear, sweet Uncle Karl has a lot more experience with bears than I do.

About raincoaster: Small. Stealthy. Snarky.
