Holly Madison, Carrot Top Fur Ice King, Queen At Minus 5 Ice Bar

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, September 27th, 2009 in Fur, Models.

Holly Madison and Carrot Top crowned Ice Queen and King at Minus 5 one Year anniversary celebration

Uh-oh.

Holly Madison has said in the past she always fakes it.

So we’re really hoping she was faking it with Carrot Top (who every woman probably has to fake it with-haha, just kidding, love you Carrot Top) when she wore this fur coat at the Minus 5 Ice Bar at the Mandaly Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Holly and Carrot Top were crowned Ice Queen and King.

When Holly was approached to do an anti-fur PSA, she had said:

“I’m not a hardcore PETA person. When they approached me to do the ad, I made it clear to them that I’m not a vegetarian, and I’ve got leather seats in my car. I said I would support that ad campaign, but I wasn’t their model citizen, and they were fine with that.”

Maybe Holly’s not a hardcore anti-fur person either.

Take a look and tell us what you think.

Is Holly faking it?

Leona Lewis Criticized For Not Singing At Harrods

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, September 26th, 2009 in Animal Issues, Female Singers, Fur.

2009 VH1 Divas

When Leona Lewis refused to open a sale at Harrods Department store because it sold fur, many applauded her decision to stand by her beliefs.

But not everybody thought it was best decision to turn down over a million dollars, even if it came from a store which stocked those products.

“I am outspoken, especially if it’s to do with animal welfare,” Leona told Scotland’s The Big Issue.

“I got a lot of flak for the Harrods decision. There were people who said I should have done it and given the money to charity, but that would have been such a contradiction because doing it on one hand to give on the other is not helping anything.”

Leona’s sophomore album, Echo, comes out on November 17.

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?

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.”

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.

Sophia Loren: The Fur Wearing Anti-Brigitte Bardot?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, September 21st, 2009 in Actresses, Animal Issues, Fur.

81st Academy Awards, 2009

The end of September marks birthdays for two big sex symbol icons of the 60s, Sophia Loren and Brigitte Bardot.

Both woman turn 75 this month and were known for their screen goddess film looks in their youth, but from an animal rights point of view, they’re polar opposites.

After retiring from movies around the age of 40, vegetarian Bardot devoted her life to animal activism, calling it “the most wonderful success” of her life.

And when Loren posed in a fur ad for an Italian designer in the 90s, Bardot wrote to her saying, “Wearing a fur is wearing a cemetery on your back.”

In Defense of Animals posted this formula for the number of animals it takes to make  fur coat.

“To make one fur coat you must kill at least fifty-five wild mink, thirty-five ranched mink, forty sables, eleven lynx, eighteen red foxes, eleven silver foxes, one hundred chinchillas, thirty rex rabbits, nine beavers, thirty muskrats, fifteen bobcats, twenty-five skunks, fourteen otters, one hundred twenty-five ermines, thirty possums, one hundred squirrels, or twenty-seven raccoons.”

That’s quite a pet cemetery.

Becki Newton Of “Ugly Betty” Smelled Real Ugly In Fur

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, September 18th, 2009 in Actresses, Fashion, Fur.

On location with Ugly Betty in NYC

Becki Newton plays the catty receptionist Amanda Tanen for MODE magazine on ABC’s Ugly Betty.

MODE is all about the fashion, and Becki has admitted to wearing some pretty ugly fashion, in our opinion.

Of her $14 vintage leather jacket with fur trim collar, Becki said, “After a few years of wearing it, I realized it didn’t smell that good. But I continued to wear it, because I loved it.”

Fur and leather don’t smell good?

Trust us, Becki, they don’t look good either.
