I just verified that I was remembering this correctly---fashionable women used to wear live chameleons as a broochEven as a kid I remember being grossed out by that. The chameleons had a small collar which in turn had a chain leading to a pin. That detail I had forgotten but just read it.
I guess if you were really sick you'd pin the little guy onto a paisley dress

Odd - and fascinating.
It would have been interesting to see what color(s) the chameleons would become. Yet, it also would be extraordinarily inhumane to do to them.

I have some very vague recollection of that, but I don't think I ever saw it in person.

I grew up on the beaches of Southern California in the 60s and 70s Surfing, Fishing, Diving, Backpacking and Bike riding. I never did mix with the fashion crowd. Only 3 fashion items have ever caught my eye: Mini Skirts, Bikini's, Yoga pants
besides this was how I paid for my freshman year of college

When Madeline Kahn shows up at Frankenstein's mansion (Young Frankenstein, 1974), she's wearing a white fox stole with a head on it.
