Oh, the drama that is Fashion Week.
I’ve gotta assume that our invites to Burberry’s exclusive “invitation only” unveiling of their Spring – Summer 2007 women’s collection today at Milan Fashion Week must have gotten lost in the mail.
Not to worry, we invited ourselves and wow, did we make a scene. Three activists, including peta2′s very own Violet, stormed Burberry’s runway today modeling their stylish “Burberry: Fur Shame,” banners and chanting “Fur is dead” to make a real fashion statment and remind all of the fashionistas in attendance that fur on their backs (or collars, purses, or shoes) is blood on their hands. One would think they’d be expecting us by now, I mean we’ve hit all the biggest fur pushers—Dior, Lagerfeld, Oscar De la Renta, Cavalli, Gaultier, Prada—so they really shouldn’t have been surprised to see us there. Nevertheless, long time PETA target Vogue editrix and resident fur hag Anna Wintour looked shocked and horrified from her front row seat…although, with a face as hideous as hers it’s kinda hard to tell when she’s shocked. Wouldn’t you think they’d have a special section quartered off for us with a direct shot to the catwalk by now? Our fearless ladies were escorted off the runway and released without harm. We’ll have more inside info from our fabulous Violet after she jets back to the UK from Milan—she’s the dog’s bollocks, our Violet—but for now, check out the smashing pix, and don’t forget to tell Burberry that murdering animals for their fur is just plain evil.
Take that, Burberry!
Violet storms the runway!

Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.
Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ
I love animals about as much as rock, heavy metal, tea, and coffee. Hoping to make a difference and help animals through PETA!!!
I'm tall, a geek, nacho - obsessed, I love sewing and Cath Kidston, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.)
Jersey girl now I'm all country.
Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.
I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
