I swear if Victoria’s Secret Spice Beckham Posh-a-Lot told me she was born on this planet, I’d start believing in extraterrestrials. She’s just that full of it.

First we caught her talking about keeping herself out of the sun. (‘Cause sunlight’’s bad, m’kay…?) While she was visiting tanning salons on the side.

Then she kicked it up a notch by working with Marc Jacobs on a line of t-shirts to benefit a New York University cancer research group. (‘Cause cancer’s bad, m’kay…?)

While smoking like a chimney.

And last month Posh went all PETA on Liz Hurley, claiming some sort of Girl Power moral high ground about fur. Liz Hurley models it. Posh says she only wears faux. (‘Cause wearing fur is bad, m’kay…?)

I bet you know what’s coming.

On Thursday, Poshity-Posh-Posh was photographed arriving at the airport in Milan wearing the ensemble at right.

Mmm Hmmm.

Over at Dlisted, Michael K’s readers are vigorously debating the question: Is it real?

So I did something kinda cool. I’m actually proud of myself here.

I called six furriers yesterday, and asked them. Two were in New York. One was in Washington, DC. One was in Las Vegas. And the other two were in Los Angeles.

All six explained that there’s simply no way this photo could be of a “faux” fur, since the garment is made up of a variety of colors and lengths of hairs. Which, I suppose, makes sense. The consensus is that Posh is wearing “red fox” (not Redd Foxx). I’ve never owned a fur, but here’s what real fox fur looks like. And here’s what fake fox looks like.

I think it’s obvious which one matches Posh’s style. The fake stuff probably feels like a velvet Elvis painting without the paint.

Two of the furriers I spoke with said that the hairs in Posh’s wrap looked too “lifelike” (yes, they both used that word) to be synthetic. One of the New York guys sells both real and fake furs. He told me that “if anyone could make a fake fur that looked that good, I’d never sell another $5,000 coat. Just $400 knock-offs.”

I’m convinced. You?
