I’m not sure who the bigger hypocrite in this story is. Burlesque star Dita Von Teese posed in her skivvies for a PETA ad about spaying and neutering pets.
Big deal? Well, Dita’s act includes fur garments (a big PETA no-no). And PETA people apparently kill boatloads of animals themselves. (Who knew?)
So a publicity-starved, fur-wearing camera whore fronts for an anti-fur group. And a publicity-starved animal rights group puts her on an ad about puppies and kittens, even though they secretly kill them.
Here’s Dita in her own words, writing in her book Fetish and the Art of the Teese:
Who wouldn’t love an opportunity to don a cuff of mink given them as a gift, or to wrap a luscious stole of fox around her shoulders on a chilly day? (I guess there are some people out there that wouldn’t want to, but I am definitely not one of them!) Silks, satins, furs — I have crowded rooms of such sumptuous materials — are decadent. I’ve always loved these materials for their softness, their beauty, and the added luster of femininity they bestow upon me when I wear them.
That’s Dita Von Teese, PETA spokeswoman. I need an aspirin.
Ugh, she’s such a hypocrite indeed. I guess they paid her enought to be a Peta spokesperson? It’s definitely not because she likes animals (only their fur, obviously). She really IS a prostitute, it seems. Too bad, I used to find her pretty, but this ruins it.
Dita Von Teese is a PETA spokeswoman? But she was so awesome! Why must the cool be so easily misled!?
