As most of you know, Friday was Hug a Vegetarian Day and we're stoked to hear about how many hugs everyone received! Many people have been sending us their pictures from Friday and let me tell you—they make us very happy! I'm gonna share a few of them with you here in the blog (I do love spreading happiness!), but first I want to remind you to send us your photos if you haven't already, so we can upload them to our Flickr account for everyone to enjoy.

Oh and those of you who are waiting on your Street Team points—fear not, they'll appear in your account later on this week. Now, for your viewing pleasure:

Have a great week!

Dita Von Teese...Meeeeowww! September 27, 2007

What's hotter than hot? The new ad that burlesque queen Dita Von Teese shot for us, that's what. Have you seen it yet? Holy cow, that woman is flawless. It's unbelievable. It should be a crime to look that good. I just knew that under all that glorious glamour was a heart of gold and sure enough I was right.

Dita, who's also a spokesperson for MAC Cosmetics Viva Glam campaign (in case you've been living under a rock or something and weren't aware), posed in a sexy pink and black negligee and fishnets for our new ABC campaign.

Like us, Dita believes that no one should buy animals from breeders or pet stores when millions of unwanted animals die every year in shelters because there aren't enough good homes for them. I could go on about this all day but instead, I'll let Dita school you on the rest.

Here are a few photos from the launch of Dita's new ad which took place at PETA's LA office this week.

'Nugget' in Line for Veggie Dogs?! September 13, 2007

Oh yes, you read that right. The absolutely delish Dogville, located here in lovely Norfolk, VA, decided to set up their hot dog cart in our parking lot recently, and the only dogs I saw on the grill were the yum-yum-yum vegan Tofurky sausages. Check it out for yourself:

So naturally we thought, "Hey, 'Nugget' would sure like one of these!" And the next thing I know, look who is standing in line:


Who would ever, ever eat an animal in a bun when the alternatives are tastier, healthier, and well, not someone else's flesh? Beats me.

Anyway, this next photo is long overdue, but I'd like to give a big "THANKS!" from all of us here at peta2 to two amazing former interns, Cassandra and Shivani, who made us the melt-in-your-mouth vegan Snickerdoodles and Chocolate Chip Cookies in the photo below. We miss you both! Come back (and please make us more cookies)!


Okay, that's all from me for now, but I gotta ask: Who's stoked for Hug-A-Vegetarian Day on September 28th?! Ryan and I are!


Hope your Thursday is going great!

♥ Marta
