Vegetarian Star

Stella McCartney is proving once again she’s an ethical leader in the fashion industry by proposing to design the hats worn by the Queen’s guards, according to The Telegraph. The hats are traditionally made from bearskin, but PETA is set to meet with Peter Luff, minister for defence equipment, support and technology, to discuss a faux alternative they say meets rigorous standards for waterproofing and warmth.

The technology that could make this happen is called Bear28.

“I’ve been working on this with Peta for a few years now and am really happy with the final product, as I hope the MoD will be when they see it,” McCartney said.

Joanna Krupa for PETA

An article at Fox has people weighing in on the effectiveness of nudity in advertising.

PETA has a monopoly in the nude campaign niche, and Joanna Krupa, who posed in an ad for pet adoption, gave her thoughts as to whether or not nudity is appropriate for animal rights campaigns.

“I am happy with my body and have no issue with displaying it for something that is close to my heart and important to me, like selling a healthy body image, beautiful swimwear or, most importantly, raising awareness about the endless abuse against animals,” Krupa said.

“And it sticks to our minds, we pass it on to friends or discuss it with colleagues and that means ‘mission accomplished’ for the ad.”

PETA’s senior vice president Dan Matthews said,“Nothing attracts attention like nudity. It’s especially helpful when trying to get the attention of people who turn away from animal issues because they don’t want to hear about blood, guts, and suffering.”

“Our biggest campaign involves promoting veganism and fighting the obesity epidemic, and it’s more effective to showcase a fit vegan body when the person isn’t wearing much. There’s a lot of competition for consumers’ attention, so as a charity, we have to be creative and provocative in order to stay as visible as the cruel industries that we fight.”

They’re hot, creative and are only asking people to spay and neuter their pets or stop eating Big Macs.

How harmless can a full PETA be, and should some people in America stop complaining about it?

A night of vegan food, fashion and animal rights will take place in Toronto on Thursday October 22.

The party begins with a vegan dinner at the Ultra nightclub at 5 PM, INK Entertainment’s Feed Your Soul, which benefits the animal rights group, People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)

The dinner will feature vegan dishes by Chef Chris Zielinksi and be hosted by Pamela Anderson and PETA’s senior vice president Dan Matthews, along with designer Richie Rich.

After the dinner, Rich will showcase his fashion label with Pamela Anderson, A*Muse, at the This is London nightclub.

As PETA’s number one pin up girl, it’s no surprise Pamela sought the opportunity to benefit the animal rights organization during the tour to promote the eco friendly clothing line, which consists of hoodies and zip ups, casual dresses, and beachwear.

Pamela’s tour will take place in major cities in North America, Asia, and Europe.

Tickets to the PETA benefit dinner are $100 and can be purchased by calling Ultra at 416.263.0330.

Pamela Anderson is back from New Zealand for a breather just before she heads to Miami for Funkshion Fashion Week Miami 2009.

The event takes place Wednesday October 14 through Saturday October 17.

She and Richie Rich will be presenting A*Muse , the eco-friendly fashion line she and Rich created on Wednesday, October 14.

The fur’s about to fly between singer Pink and Kanye West.

Kanye showed less than good manners while attending a fashion show hosted by vegetarian designer Stella McCartney when he insisted on talking about fur. Oh, and did we mention, Stella’s vegetarian dad, Paul McCartney and PETA vice president Dan Matthews were present too? Don’t forget that Pink is also vegetarian.

Smooth, Kanye. Real smooth.

“Kanye West is the person p**sing me off right now,” Pink said. 

“I was at Stella McCartney’s Paris fashion show with the vice president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Paul McCartney and Kanye West.”

“The entire time Kanye is going, ‘They need more fur in this show’. He just wouldn’t shut up about how he loved fur. I mean, he’s saying this to me, the PETA guy and Paul McCartney! I was just so grossed out by him. I’m like, ‘You’re an idiot!'”

And who wants a Kanye pelt?

“There are so many people who I think are a waste of skin and he’s up there. I should wear him. Go on, donate yourself Kanye. People can wear your fur.”

Dan Matthews, senior vice president of PETA, gave metro.co.uk a few minutes of his time to talk about dressing up as a vegetable, getting arrested, loving Pamela Anderson and hating Madonna.

Not to mention getting Mr. and Mrs. President Obama in the nude for a campaign against fur.

There’s really too much to mention here, so we’ll summarize.

Next celebrity he wants to get naked for PETA
Michelle Obama would be awesome. She doesn’t wear fur and she’s so cool. We could go for the two of them, her and Barack.

Countries with the best jails
My favourite was in Hong Kong. They brought us great vegan meals and then, because we didn’t have any clothes from the naked protest, they gave us Hong Kong police department T-shirts, which were really cool.

Love Don’t Live Here Anymore For Madonna
I was a fan of Madonna in the 1980s but she became this middle-aged witch who thought her style should be defined by wearing fur coats and eating foie gras. We had a long argument over her glamorising bullfighting in her music videos.

Ouch!
