“What Not To Wear” Turns Vegan Butterfly Into Fashionista

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, July 17th, 2012 in Fashion, Film & TV, Reality TV.

What Not To Wear

An episode of What Not To Wear had a young vegan get a wardrobe makeover without breaking her principles of being cruelty-free.

The show was a re-run from a 2009 original airing featuring Sunny, who was nominated by her fiance because he thought she might show up to the wedding in a pair of wings.

Hey, at least those would have been fur-free wings.

Beverly Hills Nannies

The debut episode of ABC’s Beverly Hills Nannies featured the vegan Elkins family and the nanny named Amanda who isn’t.

Amanda appears eager to do the job right, asking questions about ingredients to make sure she doesn’t compromise the children’s diets. And she does have a sense of humor about it.

“Any animals harmed in the process of making that bread?” she asked during a  trip to the bakery. To which the baker jokingly replied, “Wheat.”

Watch a clip from the premier below or go to ABC to view the full episode where no nannies were harmed in the making.

Wife Swap

ABC’s Wife Swap is holding auditions for another season where the women of the house trade places to entertain millions of viewers and give headaches to members of the opposite family.

Vegetarians and vegans, this is your time to spread the word on national television, as this is one reality TV show that’s actually welcoming of you.

“We’re searching for traditional and non-traditional families; parents and kids who love sports; households with strict rules and no rules; vegetarian families and families who eat anything; moms and dads who love the arts and families who just want to have fun…along with every one in between.”

Vegetarians have “swapped” before and made it out okay, like the Brazenwood/Taylor swap of 2009, featuring the matriarchs from a Texas cattle ranch and a new age vegan family seeing what it’s like on the other side.

As expected, the families’ reunion featured a discussion on food, the cattle rancher mom claiming she walked into a home with “no food at all,” and vegan mom giving a lecture on junk food.

Watch the clip below.

“Real Housewives” Vicki Gunvalson Tosses Out Real Fur

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, June 27th, 2012 in Actresses, Film & TV, Fur, Reality TV.

Real Housewives Orange County

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.”

Victoria Eisermann was the first guest evicted from the Big Brother home on the UK reality TV series.

Housemates commented on the reasons for her elimination, ranging from the “fact” she had “evil eyes” to having “these silly viewpoints.”

Silly viewpoints? Oooh. Sounds like someone didn’t want to hear a lecture about reducing their meat intake.

“I am secretly trying to turn everyone vegetarian,” Eisermann said, adding that veganism is a “massive thing” in her life, defining both her and her values.
