We’ve been through this before: PETA attacks fur wearers at every opportunity but prefers to neglect the leather wearers, presumably for personal safety reasons.
Angelina Jolie is no exception. She showed up to the premiere of her pseudo-hubby’s new flick Inglourious Basterds wearing an incredibly fabulous Michael Kors strapless leather dress.
PETA has long held the belief that Angie could do no wrong. But don’t be fooled: This is no faux-animal.
The dress (which retails at $3,295) is now sold out at Nordstrom. All the same, PETA’s blog let her off the hook:
Don’t worry, Ange, we knew a big-hearted U.N. Goodwill Ambassador like yourself would never wear the skins of achingly adorable little animals…we just knew it.
Actually, I think that U.N. Goodwill Ambassador just did. (Maybe she considers wearing them adopting?) But I guess I wouldn’t want to mess with Angelina Jolie either. I’m pretty sure the woman has fangs.

Even if she did have fangs, she couldn’t get them past those big-ass lips of hers. Unless the fangs are about 8 inches long that is.
This is the same woman known for once wearing a vial of her husband’s blood around her neck. And for diffidently tossing off a statement like, “You’re young, you have knives, you’re in bed, things happen.” So I’d approach with extreme caution.
She has a glow in the dark tat that says “Beware, I Bite”.
Just to clarify: I think Angelina Jolie is awesome and wonderful, and I’m not just saying that b/c she lives under my bed and drinks my blood every night. Well, every other night. The nights when Willem Dafoe’s not there.
Beige, you’ve got a William Dafoe under your bed too? It does creep me out a bit, but I can never thank him enough for driving Luke Perry off my property.
Yeah, the Orkin guy told me only a Dafoe would work, that spray is ineffective b/c Perry never cleans himself, so he doesn’t ingest anything.
How far afield can we take this thread?
peta = People Excusing Tanned Apparel.
Unfortunately, the Dafoe system doesn’t seem to effect Angelina or similar U.N. Goodwill Ambassadors. We really need to look into the pest control system Saddam used to use, it seemed pretty effective at keeping the UN out.
I hate Michael Kors. I hate him so hard.
Occasionally, I worry about Michael C. Hall in my closet, mostly because I’m afraid he’s got that power from the Gamer trailer where he can JAZZHANDS!! and everything blows up.
….actually, that’s kind of a cool power….
i don’t like michael kors either, i think his designs are horrible. and when i used to watch project runway, he wore the same thing every week. um.. ok?
Michael Kors’ stuff is so generic. I mean, honestly, I’m sure I could find almost the exact same thing from….well, pretty much anywhere selling leather goods.
I refuse to wear his stuff on principle. There would have to be so much money changing hands for me to wear his “fashionable” clothing….
I’ve started a small population of Christopher Walkens in my attic, and they seem to keep the has-been bratpackers at bay. You really do get used to the scritching sounds late at night and all the calling for “more cowbell”.
Beige, I will come and take your Walkens anytime. I think he is all sorts of yummy. In return you can have my Chuck Norris.
Man, I wish I had a Walken or Dafoe…all I have is a German techno viking. He scares away creepy drunk guy friends for me though.
Sigh…Billy Mays used to hide under my bed. He would jump out late at night screaming about Orange Glo. And Michael Jackson lived in my closet. The house has been quiet and un-terrifying these days. Maybe Willem Dafoe can come stay under my bed for awhile.
And I like my Michael Kors coat. It’s a plain black wool coat I bought at TJ Maxx for $60.
I’m jealous. all I have is a dog who licks his balls in the middle of the living room when the 2 neighborhood mormon dudes on bicycles stop by.
Crap, I wish I had been here earlier for Dafoe talk.
There is a difference between cows and furs.
Cows are eaten, their hide often gets tossed. Angela Jolie’s fur dress just saved some useful stuff from being landfill filler. Furs on the other hand, are killed for their skin only.
So while PETA may be hypocritical, there’s enough of a difference to allow it, IMHO.
(As for PETA, their three cofounders are Hugh Hefner, Bob Gucione and Larry Flint. Enough said.)
“PETA’s blog let her off the hook”
that article is clearly dated April 9th and about an unrelated fashion incident. Is the writer here at Deceiver retarded or libelous or both?
Ruh-roh!
So, only “achingly adorable little” animals are worth PETAs attention? The Basterds!
Love Walken – Marcupials scare me – cause their fast!
I do not like PETA and I do not like Jolie. So, they let her off of the hook for wearing some poor animals skin, but not others? Right there is a big fat group of hypocrits. Kind of like Angie herself – “I hated my father for cheating on my mom, yet, wait, she did the same thing to Jen”
Your puny, simple minds couldn’t even BEGIN to comprehend the nuance of the situation that allows her to do things that may on the surface appear hypocritical. How dare you! She buys brown babies!!
Can you imagine her in that dress, and then taking the sheets off of a old water bed, so you just have the bubble, dipping her in massage oil, and
What were we talking about?
Look at those stick like legs and arms. Very Sexy. They look like the arms and legs of a very elderly woman.
How would I know? Mind your own business that’s how.
Saintdevil: True, that. When’s the last time PETA had a “save the calamari” drive? Or a “I’d rather go naked than keep a tarantula as a pet” campaign? (Actually, I’d rather be kneecapped than be near a tarantula, period, but that’s another discussion for another day.)
Pasta – I was just thinking that she looks – not in the face – much older than she is. I really just want to give her some food.
Please
Eat
Today,
Angelina
LOOKOUT! These two may be top US politicians soon. Methinks they are being groomed. Pitt seems to have an untarnished reputation but people have short memories anyway and Jolies’ weird past will be long forgotten what with the adopted babies and the UN connection.
She still gives me the creep after tonguing her brother on TV at an awards show. I don’t care how many babies her and her “significant other” buys.
She’s a Libertarian right? Fine by me.
Brad Pitt, mayor of NOLA? I’ma go hide under the covers. Tell me when the scary is gone.
“please eat today angelina” i seriously LOLed so loudly i woke up my cat, simon.
So I can wear all the fur I want as long as I down a few bowls of weasel stew?
Be careful to dip the weasels in boiling water when makin’ that weasel stew, Minnow. I hear them critters got some serious cooties.
That makes me wonder if PETA allows us to sterilize anything because, after all, germs and parasites are animals too.
All this has some relevance to the Orkin/Luke Perry discussion, but I’m not really sure what yet…
Won’t somebody think of the tapeworms?!
liberals are SUCH hypocrites
Dude. Every time I look at that photo, above.
And once more, I profess my love for Beige.
