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…

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.
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.

Donna Karen, the Bunny Butcher of Forest Hills, has decided to go fur-free for all future collections. Don’t you know this is how it starts Donna?!? You give them this and next their pushing for same sex dolphin marriages and days off for Martin Lemur King Day.

I’ll be honest with you, I envy Mary Kate Olsen. No, I’m not bitter that the girl was world famous for saying “you got it dude,” becoming a multi-millionaire before her first birthday. I’m not jealous of the fact that she has an equally successful identical twin sister who aids Mary Kate in pissing off PETA. I could care less that she had a fling with our handsome departed Heath Ledger. What I do covet, however, is this girl’s immaculate roll out of bed, get dressed in the dark, pile on mismatched accessories style and how well she pulls it off.
People may poke fun at her style, saying she looks like an anorexic crack-head, but I love it. For some odd reason, the girl always looks disheveled, thrown together and homeless, but stunning, fashionable and worthy of Fashion Indie’s praise. I would like to consider Mary Kate the pioneer of the bohemian, mod-vintage look, a look that seems easy to pull off, but takes mastery that only this Olsen has. There is no denying that Mary Kate looks good in whatever she wears, with or without styled hair, rips or no rips, baggy or tight fitting. If only Mary Kate still attended NYU…I could hunt her down, grovel at her feet and ask her to teach me her ways.
