Why are peacock feathers unlucky?

I was playing with backgrounds and textures experimenting by mixing embossing powder with art gel to see if I could come up with something different.   After I had completed the background I started looking for something to collage..  As I was looking through an 1880s ladies home journal I came across this column that was written from women to women.  I thought this particular answer was too funny so I began looking for some vintage Dear Abby type images to complete this zany art card.  I hope you think it is as funny as I do....
