Vegetarian Star

Vicki Gunvalson may have a lot of issues to bicker about with her friends on the Real Housewives of Orange County, but which fur to wear to the party later in the evening isn’t one of them.

Gunvalson has sworn off fur after being contacted by animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and learning what goes on in the fur industry.

Anyone who watches reality TV knows the roles of women have changed significantly, and ladies do more than prepare dinner for the husbands in between make-up and hair touches. And actresses today don’t look glamorous at all wearing something from a dead animal.

“Growing up in the sixties and seventies, women I looked up to were stars of television and films, they were beautiful, glamorous and successful,” writes Gunvalson in statement. “Successful women role models were really just emerging for young women of my generation; it was a simpler time but full of exciting change. There were dreams every girl aspired to.”

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.

Poor Bar Refaeli learned a lesson when she received a letter from the former Baywatch star, scolding her for posing in a spread for Bel Air Clothing Company in real fur.

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.

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.
