Random observations:

Hate Lana as a brunette.
Hate Jane as a blonde.
Hate that Tony and Jack have better legs than I do.

Love you gals for posting these delicious pictures!

Here's an informative post from thecardigankid:

This is Captain Samuel J. Richardson, commander of Company F, 2nd Texas Cavalry (2nd Mounted Rifles) during the American Civil War.

Note the Leopard Skin pants or chaps on this Texas Cavalryman, with matching holsters. This image is close to 150 years old. This is one of the earliest photographs I know of Leopard Skin being worn in fashion in the United States. Now I have seen several Colonial Era Homes with original exotic animal rugs (Siberian Tigers, Tigers, Leopards, Zebras etc.) and I have heard of some capes and top coats being made of such.

But for the longest time until the "Faux" fur industry really took off, there really wasnt a supply of exotic animal skins and furs, unless you were very rich. And in American Society the very rich make up the smallest percent of society. So you would more than likely see animals indigenous to North America being used for fashionable clothing, rather than exotic.

Hope that made sense.
