In case you're wondering, Trashley Trollsen is as wretched as ever. While other celebs like Eva Mendes, Charlize Theron, Jessica Biel, and Natalie Portman have sworn off fur, the Trollsen twins won't let go of their caveman mentality. Not only are the terrible twosome using fur in their clothing line again this year—no doubt they, themselves, will also be draped from head to toe in dead animals—but apparently Trashley is also a big fan of exotic skins bags, exclaiming in an article on Marie Claire's Web site, the "Crocodile is my fa-vorite!"

She then goes on to review some "fabric samples" for the new line ... "This one is dope," she says referring to a rabbit fur swatch, and then Trashley examines a piece of lambskin and says, "I want to see the belly because I think it would look great across the back of the jacket." Um, no. Rabbits and lambs are NOT fabric.

TOPSHOP LOVES PETA UK February 22, 2008

Today's blog features guest blogger, peta2 UK's Violet...

PETA UK seem to be taking over the high street recently! Topshop have just this morning unveiled their latest animal friendly window display in their flagship store in Oxford Circus, London's busiest shopping street! The window gives a clear message on their stance on exotic skins and reads, "Exotic skins make our blood run cold. Join Topshop and leave wildlife out of your wardrobe."

So what's all the fuss about exotic skins?? Well, every year millions of snakes, lizards, alligators, and crocodiles are killed for so-called fashion. Farmed alligators are kept in tiny structures that reek of rancid meat, alligator waste and stagnant water. They are sometimes beaten to death with hammers. Snakes are often skinned alive, and larger animals like pythons have hoses inserted into their mouths to force vast amounts of water into their bodies, which loosens their skin and makes skinning easier. Their peeled, writhing bodies are then discarded, and they die slowly.

Topshop, we salute you! I for one will be there on Saturday spending my 100 pound gift voucher that my (imaginative) boyfriend got me for Christmas. Thanks Alan!

Happy Shopping!
