    Actually, Katy Perry should probably hurry up with that clothing line before she becomes completely irrelevant. Which, I'm guessing, is going to be sooner than later.

    PETA ain't my fave. I think they do more harm for us vegheads than good.


    BUT -


    Et Tu, Maggie Gyllenhaal? I had no idea she wore fur...I'm very surprised. I love her, but this disappoints me very much.

    I am not a professional photographer like Christina Kruse, but a keen amateur. However, like her, I taught myself how to take digital images by concentrating on the only convenient subject available -myself. I then taught myself how to use software to play around with images. As a result I have had a lot of requests from friends to morph them or their relatives into other things such as morphing an african woman into the celebrated bust of Nefertiti, a friend into Botticelli's Venus rising from the sea and a small boy into a dodo as he was crazy about them. I actually thought the latter images were somewhat unsettling but he still has them hanging on his bedroom walls several years later.

    @AtomiClash: See, I don't know where the line is on this. Because high fashion prides itself on being the invisible hand of the fashion market. Alexander Wang shows fringed booties (vomit) and then fringe becomes a trend. Obviously the vast majority of people won't be buying Wang's shoe, so where does influence stop and stealing begin?

    Ok, see, now the use of "maggot" and especially that line about cougars? Makes me want to wear fur just to piss PETA off.


    Also, someone on Jezebel once LITERALLY had food thrown at her when she showed up for a potluck -- which, unbeknownst to her, was vegetarian -- with chicken wings. I seem to recall PETA was somehow involved here, too.


    Bottom line: This is not a way to win converts. It's a way to make the already converted feel smug.

    @Fate'sBitch (katieb): I will accept most gladly, and I would personally rather have the Boca! Quite literally, some of my best friends are vegetarians. One of them is a vegetarian farmer! And I am very veg-friendly (as one of them calls me), really see no point in fur, and actively seek out non-animal testing companies.


    That's the thing that kills me about PETA -- I am, I think, their audience, because if anyone could be swayed to take one more step, it would be someone like me. Right? But no. They just piss me off! Public Relations - UR doin it rong. (PETA, not U. Of course).

    @ellaesther: That's awful! As a vegan, I HATE that kind of behavior- it gives all of us a bad name. Please, anonymous-Jez-who-had-food-thrown-at-you, PLEASE know that that person was just an asshole, not a representative veg!

    I mean, I once learned after a omni BBQ that some dude thought it was hysterical to spend the day pouring meat juices all over the veggie burgers. Assholes can be of any denomination.


    And yeah, PETA is not helping with those comments. I'm super disappointed in them and am coming around to the general consensus on this site, that they really need to STFU. *sigh*


    (PS. My husband is an omni and in my experience most vegans/ veggies are rational people who have their own beliefs and welcome rational conversation and other opinions.)

    I heard those three Cosmo editors created a feature talking about how women should just be themselves around men, how it wasn't necessary to wax yourself into oblivion, and that no one, ever, should put a fucking scrunchie on a penis. So news of their firing isn't surprising.

    "Maggot" has gone from being lost in her brother's shadow to being lost inside some really ugly fur coats. Where is her fashion sense? Where is her fashion sense? Maybe Christian Bale dropped her on her head during an action sequence in The Dark Knight.


    Wow, PETA. Way to alienate me even more. Seriously? I understand you do not like fur, I do not like it myself, but resorting to grade school name calling is not the way to begin an adult discourse.

    "Someone needs to tell Madge that wearing fur doesn't make you a cougar," the animal-lovers sniffed.


    Someone needs to tell PETA that being a tasteless publicity whore doesn't makes you an effective animal rights organization.

    "Because fur adds 20 years and 20 pounds, maybe Mary-Kate and Ashley think their matronly wardrobe will deflect the gossip about bulimia. Somewhere, someone is missing a matching pair of Bigfoot bobblehead dolls."


    Does PETA not want to be taken seriously? I don't understand why they're so offensive & immature.
