British journalist Tanya Gold has a new column that could well be Deceiver’s mission statement.
She writes about Stella McCartney’s petty feud with Gwyneth Paltrow for wearing fur, but takes it a step further by pointing out all the sweatshop labor used to manufacture McCartney’s collection for H&M.
And then there’s Sienna Miller, who, as an ambassador for Global Cool, hasn’t really stayed consistent to the message of reducing emissions. In addition to acting as a spokeswoman for Tod’s, one of the World Wildlife Federation’s lowest-rated companies due to its (lack of) environmental policies, she traveled to Mumbai last year and told the locals “if each one of us does our bit, we will be helping to keep global warming from harming our countries.”
Pretty ballsy coming from someone who flew halfway across the world, probably in a private jet, to deliver the message to people who couldn’t possibly have as large a carbon footprint as she does.
And so on. My favorite quote, which could be applied to every PETArd we’ve written about:
Indeed, you got rich in an industry that is built on making women feel like beach balls, where skeletal models are partly responsible for the epidemic of anorexia and bulimia sweeping the West. And you dare to lecture us about fur?
Hey, it’s not up to me anymore. This stuff is out there, so either grin and bear it or hit that scrollbar:
