And I thought Twilight was for tweens?!?!

Watch out Alexa because you’re going to have PETA kicking in your door in no time!

Dancing With The Stars professional Karina Smirnoff sheds it all for PETA…she looks amazing!

Didn’t know too much about Travis Toddeo prior to writing this post, but believe me I have taken notice. He is every PETA supporter’s nightmare, and he does it with perfection. The fur accessories are insane! The mix of furs, tank tops and leather pants has me in awe. I am blown away with the pieces he has prepared for the Fall.

Apparently Pink recently got a little annoyed by Kanye’s affinity for wearing fur.  She sat near him at the Stella McCartney show in January, and noted…

Hm. Would you wear some Louis Vuitton logo-embossed Kanye skin? How overpriced would that be?  

Can’t wait for Kanye’s official blog response.

PETA might not be a fan of 10 Magazine’s most recent spread, “F For Furry,” but I’m all about the natural cityscape, seemingly amateur spread shot by Marcelo Krasilcic. Model Valeria Dmitrienko is dressed to the nines in immaculate fur pieces from designers Gareth Pugh, Roberto Cavalli, Todd Lynn, Antonio Berardi, Versace and Jean Paul Gaultier. From the looks of the wet, Parisian cobblestone streets, the editorial probably saw a bit of rain (unless it was staged) but heck girl, you better not have rocked those pelts in the rain!

Thanks Fashion Gone Rogue!

Sorry PETA, you’re going to have to suck it up, because fur is on the trend list for Fall 2009! Okay, so the fur might not get as intense as floor-length fur coats, but it’s the touches of fur that are big next season. I know it’s getting increasingly warmer, but keep your eyes peeled for fur gloves, muffs, scarves, hats, vests, shrugs, gauntlets, collars and wraps! I love how just a touch of fur can make a simple outfit look like a million bucks. While fur can be pricy, don’t be opposed to digging through consignment shops and thrift stores. Sure, the pieces might need some cleaning and alterations, but it’ll cost you far less than splurging on designer furs!

Another celeb bites the dust and surrenders to PETA…

Funny short video of a PETA rep being pushed off the runway during the Dior show, model looks like Gemma Ward…

We here at F.I. barely have any idea what fooseball is or whatever they call it, but when PETA starts actin’ a malnourished, grass eatin fool, we take notice! Everyone knows what an idiot Michael Vick made of himself when he destroyed his career by getting caught up in a dog fighting ring. However, did you know that those flyin whore monkeys over at PETA wrote every single major league football team, petitioning them not to sign him when he was released from jail? If that ain’t the cock block to end ‘em all and spoil a wet dream! I mean it’s one thing to douse a fur wearer with pigs blood, that’s just clean, wholesome fun but it’s another thing to diddle with a brotha’s paycheck? Brokeness (not an actual word) has never been fashionable.

Now I know in the past that I’ve expressed hate for PETA and the possibility of dousing them in used cooking oil from KFC and settin’ them on fire for a 4th of July light show that would kill *pun* but c’mon! They’re so full of it, they’d take out a family of 6 in a mini-van to save a rabid stray crossing the freeway, clutching a new born in it’s mouth. Those sphincter pirating slut bags! Look, I don’t like the whole dog fighting thing either and I believe he should’ve gone to jail too but he’s paid his debt to society so you people need to chill out and go eat a steak or somethin. I’m gonna line your veggie burgers with meat from an endangered species you’se whorez!

Hundreds were nominated and thousands voted in the 2009 Sexiest Vegetarian Next Door contest. More than 200,000 people logged on and voted for  their top picks, which were narrowed down to 32  finalists with two lucky winners.  In the end, Amber and Monty came out on top, they are this years hottest vegetarians.

 A vegetarian for about 50 years, Cloris Leachman is the latest celebrity to pose for a PETA campaign. 

She seems like a random choice, but the 82-year-old looks great in a gown made of lettuce and red cabbage.

It’s only March, but PETA has released a new Worst-Dressed list for 2009. Madonna took top honors, with the animal rights folks warning her that “wearing fur doesn’t make you a cougar.”

Other honorees include Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Kanye West, and Ekizabeth Hurley, all for consistently wearing fur.

Full list of charges and a Tim Gunn video here: PETA.

“Wear Fur and I’ll Eat Your Fucking Head Off!!!!”

PETA just hired strippers from Rick’s Cabaret to represent their anti-fur campaign. Apparently, they know a thing or two about keeping themselves “fur-free”. That was pubic hair joke if you didn’t get it.

What happens when you squelch on a promise made with PETA? First they get their creative team to design a quirky poster to point out your inhumanity. Then they send hundreds of supporters to protest with the posters. Oh, and sometimes they go as far as taking a full page ad in Variety just to make their point. 

The new “Pinocchio Armani” advertisement is not only a ploy for embarrassing payback, but a plea for those attending this year’s Oscars to avoid Armani garments. The animal rights group has even taken the liberty of writing to Oscar nominees, encouraging them to wear the fur-free designs of Stella McCartney, Tommy Hilfiger and Vivienne Westwood. 

I must admit, the advertisement made me laugh, but I guess we’ll see who’s laughing when Armani remains a red-carpet hit or PETA sticks it to the man. 

Thanks Daily News!

Gareth Pugh Rat Jacket

If you live in New York, you hate rodents. It is simple as that. They sneak into your apartments, scamper on the subway and give your favorite restaurant a failing grade during health inspection. But seeking revenge by wearing rodent clothing and accessories isn’t clever or cute…it’s pretty disturbing. Where has the sanity gone?! From coats and broaches to finger puppets and salt-and-pepper shakers, rats and mice weaseling their way back into everyday life. Hmm…maybe a rat broach would look good with that doggy sweater you were thinking of knitting…

Thanks Trend de la Creme! 

PETA is so weird and grosses me out so much that I don’t know where to start. First off, this commercial is disgusting. Sweaty women rubbing raw vegetables all over themselves? No thanks, and I’m pretty sure the guys can agree with me here. Vegetarianism is a decision made for health, social, ethical reasons etc. But I wouldn’t really consider it sexy. Whatever, thank you NBC for rejecting this super awkward commercial; that leaves more ad space for the good ones.

REJECTED PETA VIDEO

Thanks to Jezebel for the video.

Those bastards at PETA have striked again. This time they defaced Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsens star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. My guess is they are just as mad as the twins that they have to share a star and are encouraging the split.
