Default Real Alpaca

We were at this Christmas market a couple weekends ago and there was a lady there with alpaca stuff. Pillows, blankets, furniture wrapped in the fur, etc. Anybody felt this stuff before? Unbelievably soft, but also expensive.

Here's a link I found just by a quick Google-ing.

http://www.alpacaunlimited.com/IBS/SimpleC...-id/206487.html

The pillows are like a cloud and my friend was about to buy 4 except that the dealer didn't have 4 white ones.


But this got us thinking; what's the softest fur you can get? And we decided: human baby hair! There must be some rich freaks somewhere willing to pay for authentic baby hair pillows, blankets, hats and slippers lined with it, etc. I think there's an idea in here somewhere...

Gee Mikey, if you think the pillows are expensive you should price the animals. You should go visit an Alpaca farm sometime, a great many of them love to have visitors. It's actually interesting.

Maybe I will! They are weird looking though.

And I'm sorry I'm posted this topic, it was an odd thought that probably should've stayed in my head.
