PETA's World's Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrities 2008: Leona Lewis and Anthony Kiedis

"Keep Bleeding" singer Leona Lewis and Red Hot Chili Peppers member Anthony Keidis were hailed as World's Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrities of 2008 by PETA. During an interview, Leona said that she's a vegetarian and she doesn't own clothes, shoes or bags that were made from leather, suede, or any animal products.

However, there were negative articles written to contradict Leona's "mission". She was spotted wearing a leather jacket and carrying Prada handbag with vird feathers. Does she deserve the title?

Rag & Bone’s Dramatic Fashion Campaign

I was entertained by Rag & Bone’s dramatic fashion campaign for their spring collection. Featuring a young model named Abby Lee, the fashion house created the campaign entitled “A Saga of Hope, Drama, and Miniskirts” which was narrated by Simon Doonan.

It's short story of a young model in the midst of a career crisis. Here goes the story:

“I’m in desperate need of a new career”


“Quantum physics has always turned me on. On the other hand...”


“If I were a hired assassin I would be able to make my own hours...”


“Code-breaking is hot… but...”


“Being a ruthless mercenary is probably more me.”


“A sneaky double-agent?”


“A sassy saboteur?”


“Or I could just stick with modeling and laugh all the way to the bank...”

Speaking of community outreach and charity works, Foster clothing made some campaign ads regarding this topic. They appeal to everyone to have a social tendency that gives blood and donate organs. Their concept is good but I can't connect it with the clothes they're selling.
