Anna Wintour, Vogue Put Vegan Shoes On Fur Wearing Model

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 in Fashion, Fur.

The September Issue chronicling Vogue‘s biggest edition of all time-September 2007-is now playing in select theatres.

The October 2008 issue featured an anti-fur activist’s nightmare and fur loving Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour‘s dream come true.

The concept “Women as Goats,” looked even sillier than it sounds as it featured women on top mountains looking “wild” with furs in Mongolian goat, coyote, Tibetan lamb and fox.

Didn’t know goats were so catty and competitive as it looks as if one goat is trying to steal the other goat’s shoe.

Don’t forget the vegan shoes to go with the look.

Yes, one of the models wears Stella McCartney platform Mary Janes.

Wonder if vegetarian Stella saw this and got as fumed as she did when a Hockley model wore one of her bras with a fur coat?

**Exclusive** Alanis Morissette jogging with a friend in Brentwood

Alanis Morissette has been piling up on the nut butters, fresh produce, and whole grain good carb pastas lately as she’s preparing to run the Biz Johnson Trail Marathon to raise money for the National Eating Disorders Association.

Alanis decided to share this information to help others based on her own bad relationships with food.

If you recall, Alanis changed her eating and lifestyle about a year ago when she picked up a copy of Dr. Joel Fuhrman‘s Eat To Live, which outlines a vegan diet as the way to go.

“I don’t believe in diets; I think they’re short-term and a bit of an emotional roller-coaster,” Alanis had told Ok! magazine. “So I opened it and flipped through and thought the weight loss is incidental. The primary focus is disease prevention.”

Biz Johnson Marathon takes place on October 11.

Gotta admire PETA for their creative ways to display naked people.

Dancing with the Stars Karina Smirnoff is starring is this anti-fur PSA with a strategically placed arm of her dancing partner.

What would Carrie Ann and Bruno say about the style?

“I did wear fur, especially when I was little,” Karina said. “But there are ways of being warm and being fashionable without being cruel.”

“You have a choice as an individual, you have a choice in the press, in the world, whether to make a statement that you do support killing animals or make a statement when you don’t. And you can still be as chic as you can possibly want to be.”

My Chipotle Winner Oso Closo Is Fond Of Veggie Burrito

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 in Bands, Business, Food & Drink, Restaurants, Videos.

Chipotle restaurant held a contest to see what band could come up with the best ad.

The winners, a Denton, TX band named Oso Closo, won and now are $10,000 richer with a burrito in their name soon to be available.

Although the band sings of “steak, peppers and onions, black beans, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, roasted chili-corn salsa, and tomato red-chili salsa,” band mate Chris McQueen says that’s not necessarily what you have to get and recognizes the vegetarians who might like Chipotle.

“No one in the band is vegetarian, but I am fond of the veggie burrito, so I’ve already considered that. I feel fairly confident that your average Chipotle burrito-ista could handle an ‘Oso Closo, no steak.'”

Rock on!

Watch the ad featuring Oso Closo above.

Kim Basinger: Beauty Is Not About Wearing Animals’ Coats

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 in Actresses, Fur.

Kim Basinger

Kim Basinger, veteran actress and animal advocate, was one of the first celebrities to star in a “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” ad.

“Beauty is not about wearing someone else’s coat,” the ad read.

Kim recently sent a letter to Chinese designer Luo Zheng, urging Luo to see the horror of using fur in fashion.

“As you may know, this is an issue that is very dear to my heart,” writes Kim. “I have avoided wearing real fur for many years ….”

“PETA’s heartrending investigations have documented that animals, including dogs and cats, are bludgeoned, hanged, bled to death, strangled with wire nooses, and skinned alive. Workers have been caught beating raccoons, dogs and foxes with metal rods and leaving them to convulse on the ground. Some animals are injured but still completely conscious as they are skinned, and they kick and writhe as their skin is ripped from their bodies.”

Basinger has the right idea about beauty.

Most men would definitely rather see a naked woman than one covered in a fur coat.

Take a cue from Kim and keep your closet fur-free.
