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.

What Was Papa Trollsen Caught Doing? January 6, 2009

Happy New Year darlings! I hope everyone's holidays were as nice as mine. I got to spend some quality time with my family baking delicious vegan treats, shopping, and doing all sorts of fun holiday things. I've heard one famous fam didn't have as swell a time though...ha-ha-ha Trollsens.

The UK's Daily Star reports that over the holidays the terrible twosome's dad was allegedly caught playing peta2's holiday snowball fight game! In case you haven't played it, Hairy-Kate and Trashley Trollsen just happen to be two of the cold-hearted characters you get to pelt with snowballs. It's great fun, so who can blame the guy?!

Still their blood must have been boiling. That was one day I'm sure they weren't able to use the "I'm cold and need some dead animals to keep me warm" excuse. Maybe he's tired of seeing his evil demon spawn covered in death, too.

Speaking of the Trollsens—did you guys see the full-page spread in Us magazine about the Olsens' fur-wearing ways? Yup, a whole page dedicated to the number of animals killed for the Trollsens' wardrobe! PETA's Senior Vice President Dan Mathews had this to say about a photo of Hairy-Kate in a disgusting fur vest: "Fur adds 20 years and 20 pounds. Maybe Mary-Kate thinks this sad vest made of a dozen dead animals will make her look matronly and deflect the gossip about bulimia." Dan always knows just what to say.

Snowball Fight with Colonel Sanders and Sarah Palin? December 16, 2008

I love December. This might be because my birthday's this month, but it's also because I love snow. Sadly, it doesn't snow much here in Norfolk, Virginia, so I have to do a bit more to get into Christmas cheer now that I don't live in Detroit where there's a blizzard almost every year. I'm not quite sure where to get a fake snow machine, and I've thought about creating a giant pile of vegan marshmallows to jump into, but it just isn't the same—and that may be a bit crazy (or delicious, hmm...).

Great news for me—and you, our new holiday snowball fight e-card combines two of my favorite things: snowball fights and fighting animal abusers, of course!

I think you guys can agree that there's probably no better way to introduce your friends and family to animal hating losers like Donna Karan, Sarah Palin, the Trollsen Twins, and Colonel Sanders than in an e-card where you to get to lob a snowball at their faces!

Make sure you're on the peta2 Street Team and you'll even get 500 points for forwarding this to your friends! We'll automatically credit your account in a few weeks—don't even worry about letting us know!

Comment below and let us know which animal abuser you're looking forward to fighting the most!

Protesting the Trollsen Twins in NYC! October 28, 2008

Posted by Marta at October 28, 2008 4:13 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 9 ) | TrackBack

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

Posted by Marta at October 2, 2008 2:03 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 14 ) | TrackBack

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:

Lookin' classy as usual

WTF is Trashley doing?


Attempting to look less trollish
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

Posted by Marta at June 13, 2008 2:13 PM | Permalink | Comments ( 11 ) | TrackBack

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?

Mail the Trollsen Twins Your Hair June 9, 2008

We're a thoughtful bunch here at peta2. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have a birthday coming up, and we wanted to come up with a birthday present for them. We figured that since they seem to be in such dire need of extra hair on their bodies, why not donate some of ours to them?

Animals have no choice when they are skinned alive, clubbed, gassed, or electrocuted for their fur, but those of us giving hair to the Trollsen Twins certainly do have a choice. Want to wish Hairy-Kate and Trashley a Happy Birthday—while sending a compassionate message?

If you're getting a haircut soon, or simply have a lot of hair in your brush, put that in an envelope along with a note that reads, "Please, use my hair instead of the animals'. Happy Birthday." Mail it to the Trollsen Twins at the address found here. And of course, send a picture to StreetTeam@peta2.com so we can see your fine work! Check out what we're mailing to the twins from peta2:

My good friend Paul got really into this mission. Check it out:








Is the idea of wearing human hair weird? Certainly—that's the point. I'm sure if animals could speak human, they'd let us know (in some strongly-worded language) that it's really weird that people wear animal fur—and awful, selfish, disgusting, and cruel, too.

PS - Do you think it's any coincidence that the Trollsen Twins' birthday happens to fall on Friday the 13th?

Mary Kate Olsen: Still a Cruel Mess May 14, 2008

Warmer weather typically means a lack of brainless celebs traipsing around in dead animals, right? Somebody should alert the Olsen twins to that. Just look at this hideous thing...and the huge horrible chinchilla bag she's lugging around.

Oh, Mary Kate...What is with these little harbingers of death?! Will nothing stop their greedy blood-lust?! What is wrong with them that they insist on wearing and carrying as many dead animals around with them as possible?! Was growing up on the Full House set really that traumatic??? (Well, probably, but still that's no excuse.)

And let's dissect the rest of the outfit, shall we? Um, green suede coat with a furry collar over what appears to be a black sack of some sort and...I don't even know what is on her feet but it's no better than those wretched witch boots they were both obsessed with last year.

Oh, and it's May. May, May, MAY!!! Who in their right mind wears fur ever but especially in May?! Why would anyone carry even a faux fur bag in May, let alone wear a suede jacket with a furry collar. Now I know when you're nothing but skin and bones you tend to get cold easily but even for an Olsen this is ridiculous. I can't look at her anymore.

Hey Cool Folks! January 18, 2008

Posted by Marta at January 18, 2008 9:24 AM | Permalink | Comments ( 1 ) | TrackBack

We're back on the road and with a sweet hip-hop group called The Cool Kids.

On this tour, we're taking the time to tell folks about how un-cool fur is. Seriously, what's cool about no federal laws providing protection for the millions of animals—including chinchillas, foxes, minks, and raccoons—who suffer and die on fur farms? Animals on fur farms are kept in crowded, filthy wire cages, where they often develop neurotic behaviors and become sick or wounded, and fur farmers kill them by breaking their necks while they are sometimes still fully conscious or by using anal or genital electrocution. Horrible, I know.

How about I tell you about the road now? Well, we have a new friend out with us and he goes by Tall John. Say, hi Tall John!


We were just in Tinley Park, IL, for a skate fest and a bunch of kids were asking about our Trollsen Twins campaign, which you should definitely check out if you haven't yet!


Well, that was a novel...Come say hello and stay cool, but warm.

-Cody and Tall John
