Olsen Twins - PRO Fur?!

Meet The Trollsens...

...........................................................

... Wow. I'm usually very opinionated when it comes to things,
however with this one I'm left sitting on the fence I'm afraid.

So, what's going down? Basically, my two fav celebs Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
have designed a fur "encrusted" backpack that has already been spotted on the
streets on New York for a mere $17 000! Shew! 

And no, this bag
(I say with a heavy heart) is NOT faux-fur :(


This is said fur BAG - now on sale via The Row (The Olsen Twins' High Fashion line)


SIDE NOTE: I am seriously against the use of real fur in today's fashion, and think that it is FUCKING disgusting, 
sick and sad when people resort to this when 
we're living in an era
where we have faux-fur that is SO close to the "real" thing, most
can't tell the difference when set next to each other... Sigh. Major disappointed girls...


Now PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) have (as they always do)
gone to the extreme to put their message across about their views on the topic.

Before I go on... take a look here:

Meet The Trollsens.



Now COME ON people, seriously??
"Full House of Horrors"
and
"Dress Up - Hairy Kate and Trashley"

Hey! There are even FREE web banner and buddy icons for those of
you who want to join ranks with the always over-the-top
animal rights group... tut tut.
Dress Up The Trollsen Twins!


Bit sad that PETA has to go to these lengths to make their point.
Not saying that a simple tap on the hand would suffice, but I just can't
take any activist group seriously with this kind of shit.. I mean REALLY, they could
be putting their efforts into saving more animals than setting up some
immature highschool-ish douchbagish website and creating their stupid little animations... goddam.



A little quote from PETA:

"What the Olsens lack in creativity, they try to make up for in shock value. Sadly, it’s the foxes, calves, and alligators – who often have the fur ripped off them while they are still conscious and able to feel pain – who pay the dearest price"

LOL at the first bit - clearly everyone in PETA has no fashion intellect.... However
I totally agree with the second part... animal cruelty should NOT be tolerated.
I think that using fur is extreme and unnecessary,

THEN AGAIN

so is an organization that bombs an animal test lab that is dedicated to finding cures
for various diseases (let's not mention who was inside at the time...) and not to
forget a little something called The "Total Liberation of Seeing-Eye Dogs"...?
Clearly every member of PETA still have their sight. Assholes.
*cough cough PETA cough*



Good intentions but fucked up and flawed message.

So yes. Sitting on the fence on this one I'm afraid... What is your view?

XO

Time to take off the furs girls... Come now? Didn't your parents raise you right?

The Row - Fall 2012 Collection

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen...

.....................................................................................

... have become popular house hold names,
not only for their younger acting selves, but now in terms of
being well-respected international designers, 
as most of you will know.




Their luxury fashion label:


Was launched in 2009 with one simple aim:
To create the most luxurious, perfect T-shirt.
They took the name from the historic Savile Row,
(a shopping street in Mayfair, central London)
and offer a modern-day twist to old time classics...

The main thing for me about their label would definitely have 
to be the handbags...

Taken straight from their site:

Fall 2012 Inspiration

THE ROW's Fall Winter 2012 presentation represents the journey of an American woman from day to night. Slightly irreverent, she plays with duality of season and time of day. She wears summer clothes in winter and daywear in the evening. The result is a relaxed and timeless elegance.

 ..................................................................................... 

Everything about The Row is always sleek, gorgeous and eye-catching!

And when looking at the new Fall 2012 collection, 
it goes without saying that these ladies have 
pure, raw amazing talent for fashion and style.
Consisting of natural beiges and camels, blacks and whites,
textures, sheers and beautiful angular yet feminine and classic lines,
this collection is gorgeous and perfect
in every sense... it also very much emphasizes the 
personal style of both the girls in life, which is really great.
You can see that they put a lot of themselves
into their fashion brand.

 See below for a few of my fav images
grabbed from their website
from the backstage and behind the scenes
happenings from their live show... which looked pretty exciting and romantic
itself ;)

enjoy!!
