Ashley Greene Face Of Cruelty-Free Avon Makes PETA Proud

Vegetarian Star — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 19:31:50 +0000

There will never be an end to the discussion as to why vegan Ellen DeGeneres chose to represent Cover Girl, a cosmetics company that still tests on animals. But now there’s another famous face setting an example by fronting a beauty campaign for a brand that’s well established and cruelty-free.

Ashley Greene has signed on to be the face of Avon. Her new gig doesn’t involve resisting cravings of human or animal blood because Avon was the first major cosmetics company to end animal testing on both on its finished product and ingredients in 1989. For this, PETA gives Greene a vegan cookie.

Well, actually, for the 2010 PETA Kind Choices Award, Greene will receive a framed certificate.

PETA Vice President of Laboratory Investigations Kathy Guillermo, said, “Ashley and Avon are to be congratulated for encouraging millions of ‘Twilight’ fans and other young people to choose makeup that’s fun, not fatal. Thanks to cruelty-free companies such as Avon, you can get a to-die-for look that no animals had to die for.”

“Twilight” Bella’s Mushroom Ravioli Still Available At Port Angeles Restaurant

Vegetarian Star — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 17:16:22 +0000

If you’re the Twilight enthusiast who wants to walk through the virtual steps of where Bella and Edward fell in love, an article at the Canadian Canoe gives readers a glimpse into the real life bookstores, restaurants and more of where the vegetarian vampires interacted with mortal humans.

Bella Italia restaurant is located in Port Angeles, a coastal town between Seattle and Forks in Washington, where Bella and Edward had dinner. Bella, the real vegetarian who doesn’t eat people or animals, ordered the mushroom ravioli, a dish that was normally a seasonal item at the establishment.

Bella Italia had been in business for 14 years before writer Stephenie Meyer called to ask what offerings were available that she could fit into her character’s palate.

“She called us during the fall, the mushroom season in the Olympic Peninsula region. It’s during this season that we serve the mushroom ravioli dish. Since Bella is a vegetarian, it’s what she decided to eat while dining with Edward”, says Neil Conklin, the owner of the restaurant.

The restaurant’s website highlights the movie event that brought them worldwide fame and the “Bella’s Mushroom Ravioli” is listed as a pasta dish served “in creamy besciamella with Olympic Forest mushrooms.”

The Vampire Diaries On The CW: More Phony Vegetarian Suckers

Vegetarian Star — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 23:29:58 +0000

If you haven’t had enough of this “vegetarian” vampire talk with the Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse sagas, there’s more to satisfy your cravings of blood sucking creatures pretending to be vegetarians just because they don’t eat people.

But people like vampires, whether they eat meat, veggie burgers, or people, and the series premiere of The Vampire Diaries was the most watched in The CW network’s history, drawing 4.8 million viewers, topping 90210‘s 2008 debut, according to Tvguidge.com.

If it’s any consolation, vegetarian vampires, like Stefan pictured on the right, suffer ridicule and are ostracized like human do sometimes.

From tuftsdaily.com:

“The show follows Elena (Nina Dobrev), a tragically beautiful high-school student who has recently suffered her parents’ deaths. She is immediately attracted to Stefan (Paul Wesley), a handsome transfer student with a mysterious air. Of course, Stefan is a centuries-old vampire who refuses to feed on humans and has returned to his hometown for Elena, who is the splitting image of his lost love Katherine. His pursuit is complicated, however, by the arrival of his evil brother Damon (Somerhalder), who has been feeding on townspeople and taunting Stefan about his “vegetarian” status.”

Catch The Vampire Diaries Thursdays at 8/7c on The CW.

Styna Whatman

The Twilight vegetarian vampires of Forks, Washington are like the vegetarian humans who still eat chicken and fish.

NOT vegetarian.

They don’t eat humans, but instead feast on the blood of animals.

A lady named Styna Whatman very closely resembles Ashley Greene and her character from Twilight, Alice Cullen.

So much she cut her hair, moved to Forks, Washington and worked as “Alice Cullen” in a flower and gift shop named Leppell’s.

What’s cool?

Styna is a real vegetarian vampire.

In an email sent to the Veg Star, Styna writes, “I’m vegan and strongly support animal rights.”

“Since Twilight reaches such a large audience, it’d be a great way to send the cruelty-free message to them!”

Styna is featured in an MTV documentary about the town of Forks, Washington, Twilight In Forks: The Saga of the Real Town by York Baur and Jason Brown, due for release on October 15.

Watch the clip below for a preview and to hear Styna describe reactions in Forks when the real vegetarian vampire paid the city a visit!
