The Telegraph was interviewing Chrissie Hynde when she revealed she was wearing a pair of Stella McCartney faux leather boots.

The price of a Stella shoe can reach up to seven, eight, and nine hundred dollars. Easy for a rock star like Chrissie, but maybe not so much for the rest of us who haven’t released new albums like Break Up The Concrete.

Don’t despair, as Chrissie says, “you can get the cheap junk at the market.”

Sure, cheap synthetic shoes are abundant. But then you have to worry about the chemicals involved in producing them and whether or not someone like your kid sister was gluing them together. And you thought choosing a pair of shoes was all about ensuring they didn’t give you blisters!

Elizabeth Olsen’s got some nice vegan boots for around $250, like the Thriller.

Price still not right? Chuck the boots altogether and pick up some Zoe and Zac shoes from Payless for under $30! They’re made with sustainable and recycled material and some profits go towards planting new trees.  What could be more beautiful, except of course, your feet in them?

Show At UK Music Hall Of Fame 2005

When we heard Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders were doing a show at the Minnesota Zoo, we did a double take.

The zoo is the last place a staunch animal rights supporter like Chrissie would hang out at, right?

Turns out, she did write a letter after learning animals in the family petting zoo area are eventually sent off to the slaughterhouse.

“How can a zoo invite children to touch and play with and express joy over animals for their uniqueness, only to turn around and sell those very animals to slaughter?” she wrote.

The Pretenders show at the zoo has been rescheduled, but another venue has yet to be chosen.

Sue McLean, the concert’s promoter, cited several factors for the change in venue, including size of the crowd and the zoo’s curfew at 10:30 PM.

The latest tour is to promote The Pretenders’ album, Break Up The Concrete.

Chrissie Hynde Unveils New PETA Advert

Chrissie Hynde is always outspoken on animal rights issues and is a stickler about practicing what she preaches. The woman even bans meat during her performances, requesting seitan “wheat meat” sandwiches be served at her concerts.

So it comes as a surprise that after speaking out against zoos, she’ll be playing at one for her summer tour promoting her latest album, Break Up The Concrete.

The Oversneer at Deceiver.com  explains.

Chrissie Hynde is scheduled to perform at the Minnesota Zoo in August. But during an interview with Australian activist group Animal Liberation, she expressed interest in animals being free.

June: “I despise zoos and circuses with animals. What about you Chrissie?”
Chrissie: “The animals have got to be free.”

Chrissie is not a typical two-faced celebrity, so hearing this news is rather strange. Could it be the result of the forceful hand of a management company dictating an artist’s schedule.

Maybe Chrissie wants to use the opportunity to denounce zoos once she’s on stage.
