Lucy Clarkson formerly posed as a model for Lara Croft, a character known for raiding ancient tombs and ruins, but she’s not likely to raid the ancient caveman’s closet for his fur shawl.

Clarkson took the time to pose in nothing more than a painted on suit to protest the use of using real bear fur in the Queen’s guards’ hats.

A spokesperson from the Ministry of Defence has commented on the use of bear fur in the hats and on the possibility of using fake fur in the future.

Jamie Bamber Shows His Full Fleet In Protest Against Fur

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, February 25th, 2009 in Actors, Fur.

jamiebamberuk300_reduced Battlestar Galactica actor Jamie Bamber, who played Lee “Apollo” Adama, is currently starring in a new role as the half naked man urging the Queen’s guards not to put any clothes on either.

Because uniformed guards are sexy, but naked guards are even better.

Technically, he’s urging the Queens’ guards not to put any fur on-their heads. The hats worn by the guards are made from Canadian black bear fur. And as you probably guessed, the bears weren’t just given a “haircut” and sent back into the wilderness.

It takes an entire bear hide to make a single cap.

“I initially decided to do the PETA ad because a great friend of mine in L.A., Lucy Davis, had just done a similar ad, and I love Lucy and it was a cause I didn’t know about – I’ll be honest,” Bomber said in an interview.

“So as soon as Lucy opened my eyes, I was thrilled to join her and do my bit.”

“The obvious alternative is to make caps out of faux fur. You know, use synthetic materials to avoid killing a beautiful animal. They’re not to keep warm. It’s not particularly freezing outside Buckingham Palace. You could wear something else. And you could certainly wear faux fur.”

Bamber isn’t the first celebrity to take an interest in the hats the guards wear. US singer Pink has also expressed her concern.

You can sign a petition urging officials to use hats from faux fur. Apparently, all the talk is working. The Minister of Defense has said it was open to the idea of a synthetic material that can be worn in all weather.
