Mary J. Blige hit the red carpet in New York City last night in a floor-length fur at the album release party for her eighth studio album, Growing Pains.
Joining MJB in her barbaric fashion sense was music legend Patti LaBelle.
Growing Pains is expected to selling millions. Probably the same number of animals it took to create those ridiculous getups.

looking good, ladies.
I’m no animal activist but furs are really butt ugly.
Furs are ugly. I have no idea why people even like to wear them. They looks ghetto fabulous and quite ridiculous.
“ghetto fabulous” - really?!
I’m not fan of fur coats - but I don’t see how you can say “ghetto” about coats that cost thousands dollars. Would you have said that if the two people were not black.
I never understood the appeal of fur, except that it’s expensive. It tends to fall under the category of “For people with more money than sense”, IMO.
^^That’s right my2cents!
^”but I don’t see how you can say “ghetto†about coats that cost thousands dollars”
That’s exactly what u can call ghetto mentality! LOL
They look like 2 idiots.
I think fur are ugly… It makes anyone and everyone who wears them looks fat. And not to mention they’re so expensive and, really do you need to kill animals just so you can look like this???
Mary J. and Patty: we get it. You’re rich. Once, you were poor and black, but now you’re RICH and black. Hence the revolting fur coats. I’m sure there’s 435435345 pounds of diamonds underneath all those carcasses, too. Classy.
These bitches need to study Cate Blanchette and take some sartorial notes.
Whatever. I’ll go there. I’ll say it. The only white famous chick who drapes herself in fur like THAT is Sharon Stone (and fuck her for that, by the way), but practically every other famous black woman loves fur.
I’m honestly not hating. But I’m not afraid to point out this phenomenon, either, so please explain this to me.
Thanks.
P.S. For those of you who like fur: do you care about the animal pain factor at all? If you’re nonchalant about another creature’s agony, I hope you don’t have pets. Or children, for that matter.
…despite the fact that people have worn leather and fur for thousands of years. I used to hate fur. Don’t fall for the distorted PETA propaganda.
DISGUSTING
^^^^ Dinina, yes you’re right on the first part. and somewhat right on the second part too. People back in the day, use everything of that animal. Food, weapons, and clothings… That’s fine, but seriously, do you think it’s neccesary to kill them solely for their skin/fur? Because that’s how it is. How would you like if something or someone just want to wear your skin??? Then the PETA Propaganda thing… Sometimes they go overboard but still… I think they do way more good than harm existing…
^^^ that was me
well said whatever,however divina….yes people have worn leather and fur for thousands of years,they had to eat and made full use of their kills-people also used to sacrifice their kids to the “gods” and eat their neighbours in warfare and shit in a dug out pit but as you’d all agree out there times have changed somewhat and as for any animal rights “propaganda” i think it’s a little difficult to dispute film footage of animals being skinned alive and beaten mercilessly so some cunt can flaunt their wealth and status,be they white ,black,brown,red,yellow,woman or man.
they are so right when they say that Fur is worn by beautiful animals and ugly people.its the only time you would notice them.
I LOVE THE COATS!!!! The animal is dead anyway..it doesn’t need the fur….but I do, I’m cold…FUCK PETA…..fig leaves don’t cut it when it’s 42 below and snow is up to your waist…..
HAND OVER THE PELTS Iam gonna be warm
yeah…well fuck you too!
CalligirlinGA I am glad you called my2cents out on that ghetto remark/ that was uncalled for? Why does black people have to be called ghetto … I just hate these remarks you can comment without referring to a race or where a person is from, maybe patti and mary just happen to like fur. i have seen a lot of celebrities wear fur like JLO , but never hear a remark about being from the trailer park. So stop the ugly remarks its not cute at all.
Peta is nowhere to be found because they know that if EVER try that blood-throwing shit at a black person wearing that coat they would get their asses beat down (especially if it’s Mary J. Blige, Patty LeBelle or some rapper). Peta ain’t THAT crazy! LoL.
I second that comment supernova/ they are not that crazy. Sometimes people get into your business too much and should mind their own.
Hell, I’m with you Toonkinstein. I LOVE FUR! Those PETA minions know who to f*ck with and who not too. Mary and Patty would cut those bitches in half if they threw red paint on them. Crazy-ass Naomi Campbell got her cell phone throwing game on lock, so PETA knows better than to even f*ck with her when she wears fur.
Shit, it’s cold outside but I’m warm as hell in with my sable fur stole.
@ supernova- HOLLA!
YUK YUK YUK YUK YUK! This is fucking disgusting and Mary J and Patti have just lost me as a fan. Anyone who thinks its hot or ok to drape yourself in a dead animal’s skin is sick in the head. At one stage this fur was most likely brutally cut off the animal who was then left to die. It would have been covered in blood and guts at one stage….I don’t see what’s hot at all about that. These two women are just selfish, ignorant trashbags. Fur is not classy to me at all, its the perfect example of no taste.
Ha. Ha. Black Velveteen.
Uhm, ghetto fabulous does not refer to a race. You are the ones calling my statement a black statement. White people who are “ghetto” under my definition: Kevin Federline, Britney Spears, CoCo (Ice-T’s wife), Eminem….. To me it defines someone who has a shit load of money but can still somehow come off always looking tacky and cheap. In case you didn’t know there are white people who are not rich and live in the hood also. Those coats can cost as much $$ as they want them to but it doesn’t take away from the tacky look of them. I love Mary J Blige and she can look beautiful sometimes but she has a tendacy to come off a little tacky sometimes in her clothing choices. JMO.
Agreed with toonkenstein, supernova and BV. Whatever, people are soooo holy and yet EVERYONE owns at least something, just one thing, in their closet that’s made out of animals. They eat steak. They like their eggs over easy. WHATEVER!
whoever kills these animals and cuts the fur off of them should be brutally cut and their guts spilled out, i dont think Patti or Mary J has done any of that. If these animal killers would not do that to the animals there would not be fur to wear, now would there. go str8 to the source.
Disgusting!!!! Who wants to wear dead animals fur???? They look like two fat bears!!!
uhm…ghetto fabulous does not refer to a race, but a boat load of people refer to blacks as ghetto and its funny the people you named are somewhat linked to black like kevin a wannabe, britney his ex, eminem white rapper who acts black and coco ice ts wife with her big fake ass and dark ass tanned skin. Now i have a problem with your statements my2cents because i have seen Julia Roberts in a fur coat and have never heard her called ghetto. you dont know what the hell you are talking about because to me those ones you named should be called trailer thrash. But my problem is when you are rich and wear a 3 thousand dollar coat, it should not effing be called ghetto! iM FROM THE HOOD AND I KNOW OF NO RICH WHITE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THE HOOD. i know white girls that go with black guys and hang out in the hood but live there hell no! I know rich white girls that live in the surburbs and go with black guys, they come in the hood and hang out which i have a problem with because my brother cant go and hang out in their surburbs with out getting harrassed. I have seen whites and blacks live in a mixed neighborhood like the north side of chicago where im from but livbe in the hood, you are so misguided on that one honey. Do your researchg before you speak on the hood because im from the hood and very proud of the hood because we keep it resl in the hood not watered down.
Shut up LADY M! Why do you always have to address all your personal issues on this board? WHO THE FUCK asked bout your brother and where he is able to hang out and whatnot? Are you crazy? Shut the pipehole stupid. Kevin F, Britney, Coco are all white. You are the one who links them with being BLACK. And they are all ghetto, because they look trashy and blingy because they think it makes them look RICK when indeed it makes them look like poor hoodrats. That’s what My2Cents meant. And If your stupid HUUUUUGE ( which you will be talking about in just a sec I assume) ASS doesn’t realise what the issue here is, then just please refrain from answering. I really really want to NOT answer back to your pathetic posts every time you post them, but I can’t help myself because they are so out there and out of touch with reality and you always play the blame game with the WHITE MAN. Please take care of your issues ASAP. Get a shrink it can’t be healthy to hate on a race that much. And yes you are the racist not everyone else which is what you are soooo quick to believe. Paranoia is a disease. GET HELP. KTHANKS.
^Dear Goldie.
Uhm, I also grew up in Chicago but now live in AZ because it is cold as a witches titty there. I am glad you continue to keep it real for all of us though that is comforting. Hey atleast BeJeeBus understood what the hell I was saying.
LoL, BeJeeBus, they got you riled UP today! Mothafuckas. And I laughed my ass off at “they like their eggs over easy”!! So true. Bunch of hypocrites.
I love fur… I’ve been wearing it since I was a child — I hope I get a new one this christmas… I currently have a bleached gold long-hair mink coat, a black mink jacket (with matching muffler), a silver fox and a blonde sable jacket… no big deal. I don’t feel at all bad about the animals who died so that I could stay warm. I live in a very cold city and I make enough money to wear what I want — who cares if I want to wear fur, is it hurting you personally or affecting the quality of your life in any way? no.
Animals are just that, animals. No one has killed a person so that I could have a coat. It’s not that serious. Some animals are used as food, some are used as test animals, some are used as fur coats. It’s SERIOUSLY not that big of a deal.
What about Eskimos who wear the fur & leather from head to foot? Are they inhumane? Shall we send them shipments of god-awful Northface jackets? Get over it people.
That being said - MJB & Patti’s coats are GORGEOUS…
Its so funny to me. You all act as if babies are being boiled alive and skinned to make coats. It’s a freaking animal… get over it.
I also wear and love fur! My collections borders on having to open my own fur salon! I just love love love these two coats and have printed pictures to show my hubby for Christmas. I have not had a new fur in over a year and better be getting one this year! Anyone know the designer on that Chinchilla?
By the way, furriers use the entire animal- please educate yourselves before you make your idiotic comments. It just shows your lack of education (aka stupidity!) and makes the rest of us laugh at your opinions. Not one of you has any influence on my decision to wear fur, leather, diamonds or drive my Hummer with leather seats. I can afford it and am supporting the economy! Live with it!
The “Beautiful” One, shut the f*ck up! You are as nasty as Mary J and whatever that old lady’s name is!
It’s just an animal? Do you not have a pet that you love? How would you feel if it was skinned alive? Or skinned period??? People like you make me sick.
^^^ You also Sandra, you are an idiot, not only for fur but driving a hummer. Thanks for driving the gas guzzler and helping to kill the planet.
Please do us all a favor and sterlize yourself!
LMAO rmvgl^^^ You nailed it!! Like I said, bunch of hypocrites.
Kisses all round rmvgl. You saved me from having to say something way harsher to Sandra and The Beautiful One. Two perfect examples of selfish and ignorant human beings.
She`s happens….Wow…This is totally interesting
http://www.spymac.com/details/?2321441
rmvgl……..have you ever heard of a domestic cat fur or dog fur coat?Those animals are saved for pets…get the hell over it.I don t feel one bit bad when I am fucking my hubby on our bear skin rug or when I am riding in my beamer equipped with leather seats…GET OVER IT!
^Pleeeeaaase. You have never felt a bear skin rug or ever been on the inside of a beamer.
The only way you would ever touch a beamer is at the local car wash where you work….fag!
Funny!I am with ya anon……….
The Beautiful One- That’s a nice collection you got there
BEJEEBUS,,, YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU STUPID ASS DIRTBAG.WHY THE FUCK DO YOU ANSWER MY POST YOU SLIMEY DOUCHEBAG. I WASNT EVEN TALKING TO YOUR STUPID MOTHERFUCKING ASS SINCE YOU WANT TO GET ON HERE AND CURSE. I READ A LOT OF POST ON THESE THREADS WHERE YOU ARE FUSSING AND CUSSING WITH PEOPLE ON HERE AND YOU ARE ON EVERY GODDAMN POST ON FADEDYOUTH, WHY THE FUCK DONT YOU GET A LIFE ASSHOLE, I DONT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT WHAT YOU POST ON HERE, IF I WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT MY BROTHER THATS MY GODDAMN BUSINESS, I THINK YOU NEED SOME THERAPY YOU SAD ASS EXCUSE FOR A PERSON, I STILL SAY THOSE FUCKING PEOPLE THAT THIS MY2CENTS MENTIONED ARE TRAILER THRASH NOT GHETTO, AND I WAS TALKING WITH MY2CENTS ON THE ISSUE BUT YOU WANT TO BUTT YOUR LONELY ASS IN TO THE POST. GO GET LAID OR TAKE A SHIT , MAYBE ONE OF THOSE WILL HELP YOUR PATHETIC ASS.
yOU CAN TAKE THAT LADY M SHIT AND RAM IT UP YOUR ASS.
bejeebus is not the only one who can get rilled up, dont start no mess and it wont be any! Dont answer the post with your mess if you dont want no mess.
Anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!getting back to you my2cents, you are who i was talking with in the first place, yes i was born and raised in Chicago, lived on the south side on Blackstone and 65th, where the Rangers resided, and lived in Cabrini Green (north side) thats the true ghetto so called” and no rich white folks lived there i have yet to see one yet. … and i dont regret a moment of it! Thanks for being civil with your answers
thanks for remembering me because i sure dont remember you! not of importance evidently,. i say what i have to say and move on . unless of course someone wants to get ignorant then we can go all day.
@goldie please dont ram me that might hurt too much.
please you same people crying for animal rights stop eating chicken and all meats!
After you hate on Mary j and Patti, dont forget to go on perez hilton and hate on Donald Trumps daughter for wearing the same fur coat out in public, and most of all dont forget to call it ghetto (ha ha) or would you turn it around and call it trailer park thrash.Ivanka Trump now ? same coat, same toilet, different shit.
Ha! That was some funny shit!!!!But what is up with trailer park thrash???Shouldn’t it be trash?
Here we go with this lame-ass fur debate again. Look, if you don’t like fur then don’t fucking wear it. Why does everyone else need to hear about it???? Oh, and Mary’s album is the shit.
LOL@ will i am……thank you!
Wow… That is gross… alot like alot of the people supporting wearing fur.
Do as you wish, but I personally could never live knowing how they mistreat animals used for fur. Boiled alive, no thanks.
Besides fur is ugly as all hell.
^^^^^^ That was me. Arasto, what the heck is going on??
You know what, I would personally kill the chinchillas myself to make a bed spread, it is like butter. If one was in your house you would freak and think it was a overgrown mouse. Unfortunately nothing man made even comes close to the feel of the chinchilla. I don’t know any recipes for the meat and Americans are not keen on eating rodent but I am sure there is one. If you wait 15-20 and let it die naturally, then would it be ok? I am just saying IF YOU EVER get to fell chinchilla you will see why it is a great fur and practical in many uses. The land of the free people. BUT if you kill it, skin it and use it then maybe you would respect the effort it takes. Killing for sport is the true issue. You are correct, stop eating meat and wearing animal products. Women give up those over priced hand bags, wallets, shoes and etc. So do not judge someone for wearing fur when your handbag is a skin also!!! Ghetto does not refer to actually living in a ghetto! It refers to the mentality of trying to be fabulous but can’t afford rent or you car payment. It has no skin color, religion, creed or location. Opinions are like assholes, we all got one, hopefully.
like i always say i dont care what a persons perspective is of ghetto, i know of the fact that wearing expensive clothes and cars and cant afford rent, but like i said before that happens in all neighborhoods not just black, my problem was that Ms, Patti and Ms. Mary J should not have had ghetto mentioned because im damn sure they can afford it. My problem is the way certain people (and you know these people are) use the term to descibe all tacky things and it aint always black that have ghetto things happening , but you very seldom hear trailer park trash! thats my point, and for the one who corrected the word trash that was a typo ….. so get fucking over it….. and correct your damn thoughts. Thats my whole thing the word ghetto should never have been mentioned with patti and mary j. They can afford it just like Ivanka Trump wearing her fur coat, but i think not that she would be called trailer trash… no h in trash this time black velveteen …. I never said ghetto refered to living there the meaning was you have to live in the ghetto to really know the ghetto and know im thru with this discussion….. next……..
ya know: I think you are referring your views to my2cents, who was the one who said “ghetto” and then calli girl came back with “ghetto what”" reading back over the post i think my2cents started the ghetto talk, which in my opinion was not necessary just because a person is wearing fur. Im sure these ladies can afford fur like the rest of the stars who wear fur without being called ghetto.
CALLIGIRLINGA; YOU MADE A VERY GOOD POINT.
AND WHATEVER: DONT FORGET DONALD TRUMPS DAUGHTER WHILE YOU ARE NAMING WOMEN WHO WEAR FUR!
these people always hollering and squawking about something and then the same ones turn around and tear up some chicken and wear the hell out of a leather coat and purse. get a life and start crying about all these child molesters running around freely in the streets.
The only thing ghetto about Patti and Mary is when they get ready to whup that ass then the ghetto comes out in all blacks. They will sure enough open up a can of whup ass on you, call it ghetto or whatever, but wearing a fur coat., oh hell no… a lot of rich women wear fur coats white and black and im sure Patti can afford to so how the hell is that ghetto or ghetto mentality! wtf? that should have not been said but if a black sees Jennifer love Hewitt in a fur coat and says shes trailer park then that person would be called a racist. get it together folks it cant be one-sided.
who ever said some rich people live in the ghetto lied their ass off. lying bitches.
BEJEEBUS IS ALWAYS ON HERE TRYING TO GET ON A PERSON FOR THEIR VIEWS—————–SO YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP BEJEEBUS YOU FUCKING IDIOT ASS.
BEJEEBUS! you shut your ass wipe trap up and refrain from calling me huge ass when you dont know me bitch….. call it like it is whore ! since you want to name call.. you stupid senseless whore call me curvy ass like it really is flat pancake ass!
I dont what the hoopla about is i love me some ghetto ass men and my white ass is from the other side of the tracks and i will move to the ghetto if i can , the one was right there is no rich peopel living in the ghetto. wtf? get real rich white people dont want to even look at the ghetto which the people may be poor but they are clean and down to earth. Im just saying so dont trash talk me because i am not black.
parissucksliterally… you are a two-face , you and your post buddies who knocked one for speaking on big booties and then you go on the paris post and call her a flat ass with just a back crack. Why would you bring up asses at all whne you had so much negative shit to say to the one on the kim k fake ass post. fucking hypocrite! you and that bejeebus idiot who needs a lifw fast and supernova and a few more on here posting your crap evereyday, but always have something to say if one disagrees. fucking post stalkers (bejeebus) what a fucked up name anyway.
leave pancake ass alone.
my ass is flat and im proud of it. we all cant have big butts you know.
