Vegetarian Star

Lea Michele has admitted to her two favorite guilty pleasures, and they’re both in the sweet tooth category.

Michele told Stylist:

“Dark chocolate and vegan cupcakes! My guilty pleasure used to be cheese but since I’ve become a vegan I’ve found that vegan desserts taste better than any regular dessert, so that’s what I go to immediately. I’m obsessed with Smart Water. I drink it all day long. I used to be a really big coffee drinker and then I just decided to cut down.”

Unfortunate that Michele is representing Dove Hair Care Products, because according to the Caring Consumer Database, Dove/Unilever is a company that still conducts animal testing.

Tegan and Sara have designed their own shoes for vegan friendly shoe company MacBeth and campaigned against fur.

Their fans send them lots of vegan cookbooks.

They admit to liking vegan food.

But, darnit, they’re not vegan and proudly state they enjoy meat!

“We love vegans. My name rhymes with vegan,” jokes Tegan.

Tegan emphasizes that she and Sara prefer free range meat versus factory farmed, which makes the sting to the heart of vegetarians not as bad.

“I miss eating meat so much that I’m really attracted to things that look like meat,” Sara says.

Hello?! What looks like meat more than anythings else?

Faux meat ladies, faux meat!

Tom DeLonge is known for being the guitarist and vocalist for the musical group Blink-182, as well as Angels & Airwaves. He’s also the brains behind Macbeth Footwear, with all its vegan shoe brands designed for celebrities such as Tegan and Sara and Frank Iero.

He spoke to Sneaker Freaker about Macbeth shoes:

Where does the brand name derive from? Are you a literature buff?
The theme of Macbeth, the Shakespearean play, tells of a basic truth, in that riches gained through unethical methods are less than worthless and we try to ingrain that in our company ethos. It is an amazing play and if anyone has not read it, we highly recommend you do. That theme and name are timeless and we want our company to be timeless too, so the name just stuck.

You’ve been quoted as saying ‘Macbeth is about challenging yourself to find that which inspires you to be better, do better and to live with greater meaning’. How can a humble sneaker do all of that?
Through its charitable works and vegan program, we feel Macbeth challenges people to be a better person and establish a greater meaning in their life. When someone purchases a certain pair of shoes, because a portion of the proceeds go to a charity they believe in or because they are animal cruelty free, that person is doing their little part in a greater goal for the betterment of society.

Is that why you went vegan-friendly as well?
When Macbeth first started, we were working with and taking inspiration from the growing hardcore scene. Bands like Bane, Alkaline Trio, American Nightmare, H20, and Sick of it All, all supported Macbeth and asked for vegan-friendly shoes. From there the vegan program expanded into what it is today, still working with several bands like AFI and Circa Survive that live by vegan ideals.

Okay, so their feet look small on stage and this picture is kinda blurry, but this tidbit came from none other than the Macbeth headquarters, so you know it’s gotta be fact.

Switchfoot has been updating their blog, The Daily Foot, with photos of concerts and the boys just chilling out and having fun.

Some of the photos uploaded show the band rocking in Macbeth vegan shoes!

Several musical acts like Tegan and Sara, Frank Iero, and Missy Higgins have used Macbeth’s cruelty free vegan shoes to support their feet while jumping and lunging during concerts.

Including shoes designed by celebrities, Macbeth has quite a selection of vegan footwear. 

With so many trendy shoes available without animal products, why would anyone ever want to buy leather?

The Tegan and Sara Macbeth Shoes! by Sara and Emy

Pop music twins Tegan and Sara have a nice pair of a new MacBeth vegan shoes out this month and looks like Sara did a little self-promo via a conversation with Emy Storey, the Art Director for the ladies who played a big role in making the shoes, posted on Myspace.

Cute twins, cruelty free shoes shoes-it doesn’t get any happier than this.

Sara and Emy spend a lot of time joking around-like mentioning that Sara sewed all the shoes herself. And spent thousands of hours on them.

“She grew rubber trees and made the soles,” Emy remarks.

“I know you think you’re so funny,” replies Sara sarcastically.

Sara asks Emy what she specifically used for inspiration to make the shoe and after Emy explains, Sara says that basically she listened to them exactly and that makes her a Tegan and Sara shoe bitch.

Love it!

PB & J. Ebony and Ivory. Tegan and Sara.

Some things go great together. So it’s no surprise that the duo sisterly pop group, who has worked with PETA in the past, has created matching pairs of sneakers, one black and one white, that are animal friendly.

Another series in the MacBeth studio project, Tegan and Sara have launched shoes in the Nolan category, Tegan’s black and Sara’s white.

Macbeth

Both sneakers are being touted as high top fashion with a grrrly edge and are scheduled to go on sale February 15th. They look pretty comfy and flexible and hopefully the high top feature will keep the snow out of your socks for the last few weeks of winter.

The two are no strangers to foot fashion, as they designed a pair of sneakers for the shoe company D.C. a few years ago.
