Vegetarian Star

Much ado about Pamela Anderson‘s eco friendly clothing line A*Muse has taken place, but what makes Pamela’s swimsuits and shoes more environmentally sound than others?

“We’ve got organic cottons and the boots we’re going to be doing are made out of recycled bottles,” Anderson revealed. “A company called Ultrasuede has this great fabric they make out of recycled bottles which we are going to use.”

Cool!

It’s great to learn something new everyday, and Pamela agrees.

“Every day you learn something new about the world around us,” she says. “I just learned about the mountain of plastic in the ocean. I mean that’s just disgusting. So, if you’re going to do something, do it right – be it choosing the right fabrics or where you are going to get things manufactured.”

“If you put the thought into it at the beginning instead of trying to fix it at the end… instead of having a problem that you have to fix why not do it right in the first place. With A*Muse we want to inspire people to think about it but not to be too preachy, we’re going to have fun with it. Like go vegetarian – we’re doing it anyway so why not incorporate it into it the range?”

A*Muse debuted last week at Air New Zealand Fashion Week.

It’s not yet known where the clothing line will be distributed.

Pamela Anderson‘s debut of A*Muse has come to an end at Air New Zealand Fashion Week.

When a reporter asked her if she’d always be remembered as CJ running on the beach in a red swimsuit on Baywatch, Pamela answered she’d rather be remembered for her work with vegetarianism and animal rights.

Of course, wearing a red G-string while introducing your eco conscious fashion helps to make a lasting impression.

During a press conference promoting her new fashion line A*Muse at the ongoing Air New Zealand Fashion Week, Pamela Anderson said to reporters:

“Would you like a vegetarian appetiser? Without the mueslying [sic],” she said. “Yeah, no pig or sheep hurting.”

Come again?

What exactly is mulesing?

From savethesheep.com:

“In Australia, the most commonly raised sheep are Merinos, specifically bred to have wrinkly skin, which means more wool per animal. This unnatural overload of wool causes many sheep to collapse and even die of heat exhaustion during hot months, and the wrinkles collect urine and moisture. Attracted to the moisture, flies lay eggs in the folds of skin, and the hatched maggots can eat the sheep alive. To prevent this so-called “flystrike,” Australian ranchers perform a barbaric operation-called “mulesing”-where they force live sheep onto their backs, restrain their legs between metal bars, and, without any painkillers whatsoever, slice chunks of flesh from around their tail area. This is done to cause smooth, scarred skin that can’t harbor fly eggs. Ironically, the exposed, bloody wounds themselves often get flystrike before they heal.”

Yikes!

The very thought of mulesing takes the sexiness out of fashion.

We’ll take our next sweater minus the wool or cashmere.

Pamela Anderson is out and about in New Zealand, debuting her eco friendly clothing like, A*Muse during Air New Zealand Fashion Week.

She showed up at a press conference wearing nothing but this pink sarong she had to continuously hold up while talking, joking it was a scarf for next season.

Here are some of her veggie and environmental highlights:

On animal rights: “I think anything with a heartbeat should be respected and I don’t think they should be made into clothing.”

Environmental stance: “I think being vegetarian is the way to go. It’s better than driving a hybrid car. One of the leading causes of global warming is factory farming.”

On her fashion range A*Muse, designed by Richie Rich, on the catwalk today: “It’s all about having fun, saving the world, doing good things and being pink and glittery, and also a bit political.”
