Fur Spotting in Williamsburg

I had to laugh as I trekked out to Williamsburg to co-host a baby shower last night. The Linda Evans Dynasty Fur Phenomenon is in full swing on the literal shoulders of the young twenty somethings of Hipsterville, USA. It’s been a while since I’ve ridden the L Train- it’s always good for some great, if not a bit obnoxious, people watching. On my way out to the ‘burg, I noticed that not one, not two, but five young things were sporting Dynasty-worthy broad shouldered vintage fur coats. One or two I would expect, but FIVE on one subway car. I know Williamsburg is a caricature of itself, but this was so ridiculous, it was kind of awesome.

After hopping off the train, as I booked it down Bedford to South 2nd on my way to the fab ISA, I started fur spotting. I spotted 4 little Lindas clip clopping their way up the avenue- Bedford Avenue that is. Nothing earth shattering about this observation- just so saturated, I had to make note of it. Noted.

Would you hop on the figurative L train and join these little Lindas in their retro camp craze? I wonder how many of these cute young things have actually seen an episode of Dynasty? I’m no fur wearer myself, so I’ll stick to my military wool coat for now (plus, based on last night’s numbers, I do believe this trend is a bit played out) but I do enjoy Miss Collins and Miss Evans circa 1985. I remember my mom telling the babysitter on Friday nights back in the day, that I would want to watch Dallas and Dynasty and then I could go to bed. Thanks mom, you really are the coolest.
