Welcome to the (Fur) Farm.
These photos were taken by heroic activists on European fur farms. After enduring brief miserable lives, these animals are mercilessly slaughtered for their fur pelts to satisfy the greed of companies like INTERMIX.
In honor of these lost lives, please help us ask Intermix to go fur free by signing & sharing our petition: INTERMIX: Please Go Fur Free!
These feet will never touch grass,...

Recycled Leather: Yea or Nay?
A few months ago I came across an incredibly unique company called Novella Royale. I discovered the site through Tristan Prettyman, one of my favorite musical artists and a big fan of Novella Royale’s fashion. The essence of the company is this: they find vintage materials and fabrics, then revamp & redesign them into a fabulous accessory or piece of clothing. Every piece is unique and hand...

A Cheese Story.
Step 1: Mother gives birth to baby.
Step 2: Baby takes his first steps. Mother nervously stares at human observers. She knows what’s coming. She’s seen it before.
Step 3: Less than 15 minutes after birth, the still-wet baby is taken from his mother.
Step 4: Mother is hooked onto mechanical milk suckers, so her baby’s nutrients can be fed to humans (thus significantly...

** Great News Item #1!
This weekend we gained 500+ names on our petition asking fashion powerhouse INTERMIX to stop selling fur! Thank you!!
** Great News Item #2!
To bump up the impact, we added a few more email addresses on to the receiving end of this petition. What does that mean? Allow me to explain!

Are Vegans Hypocrites?
Brilliant quote from the always eloquent & insightful Shelley Williams:
“People look at me as a vegan and conclude that since I stepped on a snail or because the vegetables I eat resulted in a tractor death for a squirrel somewhere in Paraguay that somehow vegans are hypocrites, which of course they’re not since perfection is an unattainable goal and is something to be driven towards, never...

Action Alert!
I thought if there were ONE thing my city weren’t guilty of, it was horse-drawn carriages. However, tonight, they’ve proven me wrong. Rodeo Drive is hosting Sparkle 90210, an event that features…
There are major national campaigns fighting the inherent cruelty involved in this “tradition”. Numerous horses have been injured or killed in this industry in recent...

Most of you know I’m a fan of luxurious, cozy, faux fur, so I was thrilled to see Bebe promoting it with their “Ruffle Front Fur Trim Cardigan”
As you can see, it’s advertised as a “faux fur collar”. Fabulous! However, imagine my disappointment upon seeing this tag, found on the actual garment:
Yes, you read that correctly: “100% Dyed Fox”

How To Host A Protest!
Is there a global tipping point for frustration? Everywhere, it seems, people said they’d had enough. They dissented; they demanded; they did not despair, even when the answers came back in a cloud of tear gas or a hail of bullets. They literally embodied the idea that individual action can bring collective, colossal change.

I've been HACKED :(
Not sure how- but if you see a post that doesn’t seem like me, don’t click! I have to go to work now but I’ll get to the bottom of it later…please don’t unfollow!
And in the meantime, here’s a photo of me standing outside INTERMIX pretending I work there so people will take my “I Will Not Shop at INTERMIX Until They Go Fur Free” packets :)...

I ate chicken tonight...
…but not on purpose. After a highly successful INTERMIX anti-fur protest, I joined some friends for a glass of wine & some appetizers. Though we’re all vegan, we uncharacteristically chose a non-vegan restaurant to duck into for some late night yumminess. Unfortunately the menu was chock full of dead animals and their bodily fluids, but we settled upon some sweet potato fries...
