Find out more about Davey Havok’s Macbeth X Zu Boutique
shoe at peta2.com.

AFI and Blaqk Audio band member Davey Havok has designed a new pair of shoes in collaboration with MacBeth shoes, a very vegan friendly company.

In this video, Havok points out that every component of the shoe is animal part free, including the glue, which often is not.

“Sometimes you’ll find a shoe that you think is vegan, when sadly vegan glue is made of animals,” Havok said.

Hmm…think he means faux vegan glue is made of animals.

The shoes are available in limited edition and information on a nearest store can be located here.

Some men have commented on this site before about the lack of male vegan professional shoes.

Sorry to say these are still in the casual category, but maybe Davey will invent a “Day In the Record Company Corporate Office” line that will suit your fancy.

Leona Lewis is a new spokesperson for the Fabric of Our Lives campaign, which promotes the natural fiber, something Leona says is a great alternative to animal fabrics.

“I love fashion and I’m always finding alternative ways to non-animal products. Cotton is a great fabric,” Leona told Showbiz Spy.

Organic cotton should be your top choice if possible.

Treehugger reports that, “Conventional cotton is one of the most chemically-dependent crops, sucking up 10 percent of all agricultural chemicals and 25 percent of insecticides on 3 percent of our arable land; that’s more than any other crop per unit.”

This translates into needing up to 1/3 pound of chemicals to produce enough cotton for a t-shirt and 3/4 pound for a pair of jeans.

Plus, The World Health Organization says that up to 20,000 deaths occur each year from from pesticide poisoning in developing countries, where cotton is often still picked by hand.

There’s organic cotton for every budget, from retail brands like Nike and Patogonia to upscale labels like Loomstate and Katherine Hamnett.

Jill Zarin just released her book, Secrets of a Jewish Mother, and held a launch party at her husband’s store, Zarin Fabrics, in New York City.

The Real Housewives of New York City reality star recently presented a copy of the book in a Zarin Fabrics bag to Ok! magazine.

Zarin Fabrics may be a great place to stop by the next time you’re redecorating.

The drapery and upholstery fabric shop carries a selection of faux suede and leather skins in a variety of colors, including green, buckskin brown, sand, dark brown, brick brown, camel and white.

A trip to the NYC warehouse might eliminate your need to drape those discount sheets over the couch to cover up the holes and stains.

Stella McCartney has just opened her first clothing store in Milan.

The New York Times is reporting the store has a sustainable oak parquet floor, manufactured for the same furniture company her husband owns.

Stella is looking to make the entire store environmentally friendly, as she hopes to attain LEED certification, a standard implying the building is using resources like water and energy most efficiently, reducing CO2 emissions and maintaining a quality indoor environment.

The vegetarian designer who refuses to use leather or fur in any of her collections routinely makes decisions in her business to reach a higher level of ethics, which include using organic cotton, low impact dyes and manufacturing in countries that do not use child labor.

Pamela Anderson may be facing a legal battle over the name of her eco friendly clothing line.

The line created by both she and Richie Rich, Muse, was later changed to A*Muse, a move Maggy London International claims was “a disingenuous effort to disguise their infringing activities.”

Executives at Maggy London filed a lawsuit on Monday claiming they trademarked the name “Muse” in 2002.

Maggy London claims they contacted Pamela and asked her to drop the name, but she refused.

Well, technically she’s put an “A” and a “*” in front of it, so it’s not “Muse” anymore so what’s the complaint?

Oh, yeah. Here it is.

From Contact Music:

“The suit seeks an order barring the designing duo from using any “colorable imitation” of the trademark and forcing them to hand over all profits and remaining clothing, for “impoundment or destruction”, according to the New York Post.”

Designer Pearl Lowe may be choosing patterns for a crib and baby blanket, as she’s expecting her fifth child.

Like so many vegetarian women who become pregnant, Lowe has temporarily gone back to eating meat, but not because she’s craving the steakhouse.

And although she’s been anemic, the decision to eat meat during pregnancy after five years of vegetarianism isn’t something she’s happy with.

“I know that sounds a bit weird, and it’s not something I would have done otherwise, but I am very anaemic so I did it for the baby. It hasn’t been easy for me.”

Besides consulting with your doctor to see how you can incorporate plant based sources of iron into your diet when pregnant, the March of Dimes lists several sources of vegetarian iron, including dried fruits, iron fortified cereals, breads and pastas, oatmeal, whole grains, blackstrap molasses, dark green vegetables like spinach, broccoli and kale, nuts and seeds, beans, peas and eating the skins along with your potatoes.

There are also vegetarian iron supplements.

A baby on board might be a good time to try out other forms of  milk and trade the tofu for iron rich seitan, since both real milk and soy protein may block the absorption of iron.

Angelina Jolie bought a $5,000 horse hair bag, but investigated before saying “yay,” to neigh.

Before she was caught carrying the Akris ecru horsehair handbag, Jolie had her stylist call the company to see if they treated the horses well.

“We told her horses get haircuts just like we do,” Akris designers Albert Kriemler said.

As a spokesperson for the company, nothing but positive responses would be expected.

Girliegirlarmy has a suggestion for the next time Jolie buys a purse:

“A word to the wise Ms. Jolie: Anytime you are buying an animal product, you can be sure as heck it wasn’t just a “haircut.” Next time, choose compassion. Stella McCartney bags are always entirely cruelty free!”

Time now to share your thoughts.

Can an animal derived product ever be cruelty-free?

Boo Boo Stewart‘s closet must be full of nothing but vegan Vaute Couture wear.

Seen before in Vaute Couture’s “For the Love of Dog, Adopt,” t-shirt, days later Boo Boo was spotted at the Star Magazine Celebrates Young Hollywood Event wearing the “No Animals Are Harmed In The Making Of This Boy,” shirt.

The 100% organic cotton tee is a great disclaimer to tell what does and what doesn’t go into your vegetarian body.

These are available in both guys and gals at Vaute Couture.
