Kate Bush has posed for a series of photos to promote her latest album, 50 Words For Snow.

Although the singer appears to be draped in animal fur for the advertisements, Bush assured fans she wore nothing but artificial.

In a statement to the press, Bush said, “We have recently taken some photos and I just want to pre-empt any concerns there might be, as I’m sure most of you will feel the same way as I do about wearing real fur. All the fur in these photos is synthetic.”

There’s nothing worse that finishing a shoot for a magazine in what you thought was faux fur, only to learn later it was the real thing.

Actually, there could be worse things. Pamela Anderson could come after you for it.

Australian model Ruby Rose chose to wear her own skin for a recent Maxim Australia photo shoot and she believes animals should have that choice too.

“Not a lot of people know about fur,” Rose said in an interview with the magazine. “I was mortified thinking this happens just to make a f–king jacket. I can’t get past the idea of having an animal that’s been skinned alive on top of me and somehow thinking that’s cool from a fashion standpoint.”

Elisabetta Canalis‘ anti-fur ad for PETA has finally been released.

Months ago, the actress discussed the shoot and how her love of dogs is just one of several reasons she refuses to wear real fur.

Like many PETA ads, the photo appears to feature Canalis naked, but in reality, there’s a thin, flesh-colored panty covering up the bottom of her birthday suit.

“I was comfortable, maybe you can’t tell, but I have kind of panties there (points to her hips on the poster). It’s like a sticky, strapless thong,” she told Fox News.

A different version of the ad can be viewed below.

The officials from the Miss Florida USA pageant announced they will no longer award a mink coat to the winner of the competition. No one could be more happier about this decision than Tim Gunn, Project Runway host and anti-fur activist who’s recorded a PSA for PETA against the fur industry.

Gunn took the time to write a letter to the executive producer of the Miss Florida USA pageant, Grant H. Gravitt Jr., thanking him for the ban.

In a state as warm and sunny as Florida, you have to wonder why fur coats would ever be brought out during the Miss Florida USA pageant. Many activists have thought the same thing and have protested in numerous ways, including emailing former contestants and asking them to donate their furs.

The work has paid off and officials of the pageant have officially announced that fur has been eliminated from the competition.
