It's that time of year again — your tan is fading, those summer reading deadlines are quickly approaching, and the MTV Video Music Awards are right around the corner! The VMAs are hands down my favorite awards show, and I'm always excited to hear the nominations! This year I was beyond stoked to find out that one of my favorite bands, and long time peta2 supporters, Cobra Starship, are nominated for "Best Pop Video"! Pretty fucking awesome right?! As if having one of the hottest singles in the country (that just so happens to feature Gossip Girl Leighton Meester!) isn't enough to take home the Moonman, frontman Gabe Saporta is a long time vegetarian and this year's Sexiest Vegetarian runner-up, and the Cobras have shown major love for the animals by being fashionable without fur. How could anyone not vote for them?!

Cobra Starship

Other honorable mentions include P!nk, with a "Best Female Video" nomination; Fall Out Boy, Green Day, and Paramore all battling it out for "Best Rock Video"; Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Death Cab for Cutie for "Breakthrough Video"; and OK Go and the Beastie Boys among stiff competition in a new category, "Best Video (That Should Have Won A Moonman)".

The best part about the VMAs is that voting is unlimited! That means you can cast your vote for Cobra Starship and your other peta2-supporting favs as many times as your fingers can handle!

If I haven't convinced you yet, maybe this quote from Gabe will win you over: "I wanna thank everyone from peta2 who have always been supporting us. For the past 3 years I've come so close to winning Sexiest Vegetarian, but every year I've lost. Ok, I get it, I'm not that sexy. But that doesn't mean we didn't make an awesome video! And that doesn't mean that we can't take Britney out (even though she is naked in a sauna in her video — but this is BEST pop video, not SEXIEST pop video)! Help us win and I'll make a steamy sauna video just for peta2 members. ;)"

You heard it kids! Exercise your right to vote and make sure to pick up Cobra Starship's new album, Hot Mess, in stores and online today!

Free Stuff Friday: Bettie Page Gift Certificate! May 22, 2009

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.
