Free Stuff Friday: Dirty Shirty Tee! June 26, 2009

Posted by Tiffany Wright at June 26, 2009 8:57 AM | Permalink | Comments ( 679 ) | TrackBack

We've just launched our Animal Testing Breaks Hearts campaign and what better way to kick it off than with an awesome giveaway! This week, you've got the chance to win this 'I Am Not a Test' tee from our friends at Dirty Shirty.

Over 200 animals are killed every minute in labs across the country. These animals die alone, after undergoing excruciating experiments. We all know testing on animals is bad science, but thousands of companies and universities continue to conduct animal experiments. You'll love rocking this tee because it lets everyone know that we should be loving animals, not testing on them.

For your chance to win the 'I Am Not a Test' tee from Dirty Shirty, comment below with a phrase or slogan you'd most like to see on a Dirty Shirty tee. Entries must be received by July 3rd. The three people with the most original comments will be chosen and notified by July 6th.

Free Stuff Friday: PETA's Vegan College Cookbook June 5, 2009

Posted by Tiffany Wright at June 5, 2009 9:27 AM | Permalink | Comments ( 197 ) | TrackBack

When you head off to college this year, you'll have a lot on your plate. Between classes, homework, study sessions, and frat parties, the last thing you need to worry about is food. That's why we're giving you the chance to win PETA's Vegan College Cookbook. This cookbook provides you with 275 vegan recipes you can make in the comfort of your own dorm room. PETA's Vegan College Cookbook includes simple (and delicious) recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, snacks, drinks, and much more! Better yet, the only appliance you'll need to make all this scrumptiousness is a microwave.

And, by the way, this book isn't just for college students. It's for anyone who wants cooking to be quick, delicious, and cruelty-free. If that sounds like you, or anyone you know, then you'll want to enter to win one of five cookbooks we're giving away this week (see below!).

Wanna know more about the cookbook? Check out what the book's co-authors (and peta2 staffers), Marta Holmberg and Starza Kolman, had to say:

Tiffany: What made you guys decide to put together this cookbook?
Marta: College students write in all the time looking for vegan recipes that are easy and delicious, so we wanted to give them something they would really benefit from and love.

Tiffany: What was your favorite thing to eat in college?
Marta: I tend to go through certain periods where I only eat one type of food. Sometimes, it's stir fry, sometimes it's pancakes ... you never know.
Starza: Ramen with all kinds of different stuff like vegetables, nutritional yeast, and spices. In college, I always took weird dishes and morphed them into something delicious.

Tiffany: What's your favorite recipe from the book?
Marta and Starza: "I'm, Like, So Easy!" Blueberry Pancakes.

Tiffany: What do you think people will love most about the book? ... Besides the food, of course.
Starza: This book makes cooking so easy. You can just roll out of bed and whip something up. This book makes cooking so convenient and fun that you'll actually want to cook.

Tiffany: What advice would you give students whose friends or family don't agree with them being vegan?
Starza: Make them some sample food to show them how good and nutritionally balanced vegan food can be.
Marta: Live by example—people will see how easy and delicious vegan food is if they see how happy you are being vegan.

Tiffany: What's the best thing about being vegan?
Marta: The food!
Starza: The fact that no animal had to suffer for the meals you prepare.
Marta: Oh yeah, that too! :o)

For your chance to win PETA's Vegan College Cookbook, comment below with what we should name our 276th recipe. Right now, the book's recipes include Butt Ugly Sticky Buns, Hangover Helper, WTF Wings, and Frozen Frat Balls. Entries must be received by June 12th. The five people with the most creative comments will be chosen as our winners and notified by June 15th.

There's no denying that Bettie Page was one of the most stylish women of all time. To some she was a 50s pinup model, but to others she was (and is) one of the greatest symbols of beauty and femininity. Inspired by her captivating charm and sense of fashion, Bettie Page Clothing was born.

Bettie Page Clothing offers you the chance to experience what I believe to be the greatest era of American glamour and fashion. Besides, what girl doesn't want to look like a 50s pin-up girl? Even the closets of celebs Dita Von Teese, Holly Madison of The Girls Next Door, and Leighton Meester of Gossip Girl, contain their share of Bettie Page. And if that's not reason enough to go ga-ga over this retro retailer, all Bettie Page designs are fur AND leather-free!

This week, peta2 is giving you the chance to win a $200 gift certificate to the Bettie Page online store. For your chance to win, just comment below with which Bettie Page quote best describes you and why. Comments must be received by May 29th. The most original comment will be chosen as our winner and will be notified by June 1st.

Free Stuff Friday: Sammy the Sea Kitten! May 15, 2009

Posted by Tiffany Wright at May 15, 2009 9:13 AM | Permalink | Comments ( 225 ) | TrackBack

Ever wonder if fish feel pain? Or if they're as smart as other animals? Well listen up! Fish have fully developed brains and nervous systems, so of course they feel pain. And, when it comes to smarts, these guys are a force to be reckoned with. Did you know they can retain information they learned up to 11 months earlier? I can't even do that! And they don't just use their tongues to catch food — they use them to build nests for their babies and shield them from danger. Fish even experience fear the same way humans do, with increased heart rates and bursts of adrenalin. Even more amazing is that some fish actually enjoy being pet. Yes, pet ... Like you pet your cat. That's why we've created Sammy the Sea Kitten.

Sammy comes fashioned with removable kitten mask and mittens, reminding us that fish have feelings just like those adorable land kittens. And if you wouldn't eat a kitty cat, how can you think about eating a sea kitten?

This week, we're giving you the chance to win our Sammy the Sea Kitten plush toy, along with our peta2 'Save the Sea Kittens!' booklet, complete with leaflets and stickers, to help spread the word to all your friends and family about sea kittens.

To enter for your chance to win, comment below with which species of sea kitten you'd like to see added next to our Create Your Own Sea Kitten game (we just recently added Mahi Mahi, Swordfish, and Anchovy). The five people with the most creative entries will be chosen as our winners and notified by May 26th.

Free Stuff Friday: Win Converse Chuck Taylors! May 1, 2009

What do Rihanna, Lupe Fiasco, Zac Efron, Robert Pattinson, and Miley Cyrus have in common? They've all been caught rocking Converse Chuck Taylors.

Many a vegan's wardrobe wouldn't be complete without at least one pair of Chucks. Their classic style, comfort, and the fact that most are leather-free (check the label!), make them a fashion staple. I, personally, wear my black low-tops into the ground.

As a big fan myself, I'm happy to announce that this week's Free Stuff Friday is to win a pair of Chuck Taylor All Star Hip Hop Graffiti Tags high-tops.

For a chance to win, comment below with a snappy comeback to the question vegans hear all the time, "Are your shoes made of leather?". We will pick the cleverest comment as the winner by May 29th, and the winner will be notified by June 5th.
