Protesting the Trollsen Twins in NYC! October 28, 2008

If you were passing Barnes & Noble Union Square in NYC today, you likely stopped to see what the heck was going on. The Olsen Twins were promoting their new book Influence, which means, of course, that peta2 was outside the store letting fans of the Trollsen Twins know that the twins still support the cruel fur industry by wearing fur and including it in their clothing line.

With Halloween just around the corner, Street Teamers wore our Hairy-Kate and Trashley" masks and held signs that said, "Hairy Kate and Trashley Olsen: Fur Tramps" and "Trollsens: Fur Hags From Hell." I wish I could have been there!

Check out some pictures:

Seriously, I can't believe some people still think it's "fashionable" to wear the skins of animals.

What do you think of the demonstration?

Why Not Be a Troll This Halloween? October 2, 2008

By now, most of you are probably familiar with our Trollsen Twins campaign. We're always looking for new ways to raise awareness about the campaign and the fact that Mary-Kate and Ashley still support the cruel fur industry. Remember our "Mail the Trollsen Twins Your Hair" mission?

Anyway, with Halloween creeping up quickly, we thought, "Why not make Trollsen Twins masks?" And of course, we wanted you to be able to get in on the action, too, so go here to order your masks in time for Halloween. Heads up, though: we can only send the masks to people in the US, Canada, and UK. Live somewhere else? Print off the masks for yourself here (I recommend printing them on regular paper and then attaching them to something more sturdy).

Check out Lara and Rachel all trolled out in the masks:

WTF is Trashley doing?

We want to see your pictures, too! When the big day rolls around, be sure to get someone to snap a few pictures of you and your friend wearing your masks/costumes and then e-mail them to us for 500 Street Team points. If your picture shows you and your friend wearing the masks at a party, at school, or some other public place, we'll give you an additional 1,500 points.

Remember: Dressing as the Trollsen Twins on Halloween is a great way to start a discussion with people about the fact that animals are gassed, anally and vaginally electrocuted, and skinned alive for their fur. They have no voice, so your costume can speak out for them!

So, are you gonna grab a friend and dress up as Hairy-Kate and Trashley?

PS - Don't forget to watch our video, send the twins a letter, and "dress up" the Trollsens!

Hairy Birthday to the Trollsen Twins June 13, 2008

As most of you probably remember from my blog on Monday, today is the Olsen Twins' birthday (oddly, it's also Friday, the 13th). Many people have been writing us to let us know they mailed Hairy Kate and Trashley some of their hair along with a note that reads, "Please—use my hair instead of the animals'. Happy Birthday." Check out the pictures below from Mason Thomas:

Outlets across the world have been picking up this story, but my favorite definitely has to be the Best Week Ever blog. Hilarious.

If you haven't participated yet, it's not too late—after all, a late birthday present is better than no birthday present at all, right?

Hairy-Kate and Trashley: Meet the Trollsen Twins December 11, 2007

I am unbelievably excited to announce peta2's brand-new campaign. You remember cute little Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen from Full House, right? Well, maybe you've noticed that they're all grown-up now and have somehow morphed into fur hags. It's truly sickening, considering that millions of animals are skinned alive, have their necks broken, or are even anally or vaginally electrocuted for someone's misguided attempt to look 'fashionable.'

Anyway, we're tired of seeing Hairy-Kate and Trashley show up at events sporting some once-living animals' skins, and we bet you are, too—so let them know that you won't buy any of their products until they agree to go fur-free!

Now for the fun stuff:

Check out what Futureman had to say to the Full House crew in "Full House of Horrors". Who knew how much those sweet little girls would change?

I cannot get enough of this game. It's seriously amazing. Dress up the Trollsen Twins yourself. Check out how I dressed up Hairy-Kate. Fugly, anyone?


We even have Web banners and exclusive merch! What more could you ask for?

Wanna know what the Trollsen Twins are doing? Then you better add them on MySpace. I even put them in my top friends!

So now, I have to ask—are you as excited as I am about this campaign?!
