Not all of the animal-rights celebrities align themselves with the increasingly ridiculous PETA. The ones who still care about their image flock to the Humane Society of the United States, which, underneath its glossy veneer, is no less fringe-y than PETA. But at least it has a name that doesn’t make the average person dismiss its activities outright.
Take Ginnifer Goodwin as an example. The cutie pie actress has become the HSUS celebrity lobbyist du jour.
In her video interview last weekend with HSUS CEO Wayne Pacelle, she talks about fighting to change laws to give animals more rights and how she no longer puts milk in her coffee because she started “really taking in what it was I was consuming and wondering where it came from.”
And indeed, in May she came out as a vegan. In the video, you can watch the CEO drool all over her for being “such a smart spokesperson for the cause.”
Which is hilarious because she was W Magazine’s cover girl in June, bedecked in the following:
Versace’s leather jacket; Kiki de Montparnasse’s silk bra; Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquière’s viscose jersey briefs with attached leather belt; Yves Saint Laurent gloves.
I wonder if she also wonders where leather and silk come from? Because newsflash: Versace, Kiki de Montparnasse, Balenciaga, and YSL don’t work with polyurethane alternatives.

You know as a rancher I think i have to thank Peta and hsus for their hypocrisy and celebrity tools. The way these groups operate keep veganism on the fringe of society. The sad part is they are so wrapped up in themselves they don’t even realize how foolish they look to everyone else.
“Tools” being the operative word, here.
I don’t think it’s sad. I think it’s hilarious.
You know, those people gives a bad name to animal lovers everywhere. Myself, I love all the animals of the world as long as they come on my plate with potatoes, green peas and gravy.
I don’t care what Nicolas Ghesquière calls his designer briefs they look like a diaper to me.
Yeah, to be quite honest, her outfit is as ridiculous as her values.
Models don’t always wear the same clothes in real life that they are contractually obligated to wear in real life. I think Ginnifer Goodwin is a breath of fresh air.
Let’s face it, gang – it’s just not possible to look sexy in pleather.
Leather granny panties . . . . . my mind is boggled.
I can’t take anything seriously coming from someone named Ginnifer.
What, was Jhenapher already taken?
Well those drawers are definitely meant to be seen……therre’s no way you could wear them as “under” wear and not have a bajillion panty lines. Oh wait, they aren’t underwear meant for the us common people to wear. Silly me.
But Dan, she’s selling the clothes. That’s what fashion magazines exist for.
However, since you asked for it, I found these photos of her wearing leather in the year since she’s become a vegan to make you feel better:
May 2009, leather Brian Atwood slingbacks
February 2009, leather Bottega Veneta clutch
February 2009, suede Jimmy Choo pumps
October 2008, leather YSL heels
Never question Holly.
She’s very pretty, but she is a ginormous tool.
And is it just me, or does she look kind of wonky in the photo with the pleather granny panties? Either she’s ridiculously skinny, or she’s standing at a very strangle angle.
(Or my monitor is screwed up.)
MC Mom: She’s occasionally in my exercise class– she’s RIDICULOUSLY skinny.
Damn straight, Irish.
I wasn’t going to question her fashion sense until I saw the other photos Holly posted. Jesus, woman, can’t you afford a stylist or something?
I’d hit it with a sheepskin prophylactic contraceptive device!
Hey, as long as her duds aren’t made of milk, her conscious is clear.
stupid. don’t these girls realize they’ll end up on deceiver.com?
HSUS maintains a lower public profile than PETA, but they are at least as hypocritical. If you really want to help animals, support the ASPCA. http://www.aspca.org/
This is a perfect example of what I refer to as the “Look At ME!” people. She doesn’t believe anything of consequence. She just wants people to look at her. Seems to be a trend for people featured here.
I’d put her in a bacon bra and wrap the rest in fruit roll-ups. I believe in balanced diets.
Yeah I thought she was weird after she started dating Chris Klein as his latest Katie Holmes clone. Ever since then I wondered what was going on in her head, guess now we know lol.
@Shikatehead: I just this minute got that. Milk duds. Hee.
