PETA Protester Confronts Pharrell Williams During Film Premiere

Image
A protester from the organization, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), disrupted a speech being given by Pharrell Williams at a Biopic Premiere in Toronto.  She rushed the stage with a white sign in her hand that read:  Pharrell: Stop Supporting Killing Animals for Fashion.  Pharrell was in Toronto to support his LEGO biopic entitled, Piece by Piece.   The protester directed a number of statements towards Pharrell and the audience concerning his role as men's creative director at Louis Vuitton.   "Your Louis Vuitton collection … Pharrell’s collection is made from their blood,” the protester shouted to the audience. “Pharrell stop torturing animals! Ostriches are being hung upside down, electrocuted with their necks slit.”   PETA is petitioning Louis Vuitton to stop abusing animals and using their bodily materials for the purpose of fashion creation.  During the protest, Pharrell made a pause during his speech and outrightly agreed with the protester.  "Ok.

Pamela Anderson Bares it All for New Vegan Bag Collection

Ashoka Paris, a French couture handbag house, has developed a revolutionary green manufacturing process, which entails substituting leather for bio sourced apple skin. The apple skin is made from apple waste in the Northern region of Italy while the linings of the interior of the handbags are made from recycled plastic waste.





Ashoka Paris’s hand bags are known for their gold brushed hardware, and embossed details. Pamela Anderson has always been an outspoken and committed activist for animal rights. The fashion design house teamed up with Pamela Anderson to design a capsule collection that promotes green and eco conscious fashion. Prototypes of the bags for the collection were introduced at Veggie World Paris in the fall of 2019.
The capsule collection collaboration features two different handbags which are available in four colors: a pinkish nude, terracotta, black and red. The “Pamela Box” is a medium sized handbag with signature brushed gold hardware and chain straps. Conscious messages also line the interior or straps.




The “Pamela Pouch” is a slightly smaller handbag with gold chain straps that can be doubled or worn singularly.




Conscious messages line the interior or straps of the handbag. The message in inside the handbags reads:
“RESIST! Inside every beautiful person is an activist wanting to defend the planet.”
Absolutely wonderful message and let's not start on how incredible pamela looks!!




I love the thought and craftmanship that went into the creation of the bags. The golden clasps featured on the bags were designed to resemble brass portholes of older sailing ships. The porthole has always been a symbol of freedom, according to Askoka Paris.
Both bags can be pre-ordered and will ship out in July. The bags begin at €230 (euros).
Visit www.ashokaparis.com to preorder bags from the collection.

Leave the Sea Turtles Alone: Nine Die from Consuming Marine Turtle Meat

Image
Nine individuals passed away from consumption of endangered marine turtles in Pemba Island, Zanzibar last month.  A total of eight children and one adult died due to chelonitoxism or food poisoning from the contaminated turtle meat.  Death from chelonitoxication is thought to be a rare happening and is mostly associated with consuming marine turtles such as Green sea turtle, Hawksbill turtle, Olive Ridley and Leatherback turtles.    Consumption of sea turtles is considered a delicacy in remote places and African countries such as Tanzania and Madagascar, French Polynesia and Indo-Pacific regions.  The sea meat is usually consumed at celebratory gatherings.  The individuals who cook and consume marine turtles are unable to decipher if the meat is toxic because the marine turtles appear healthy and do not display any symptoms.  The chelonitoxins cannot be destroyed through heat or cooking.  The chelonitoxism that occurs in marine turtles are due to environmental factors which may include

Image
Apple premiered their yearly Apple Event introducing the new Apple Series 9 Apple Watch and the iPhone 15 standard, plus and pro models.  During the event, a commercial was premiered featuring Octavia Spencer, Tim Cook (CEO of Apple), Lisa Jackson (VP of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives.  This funny commercial saw Octavia present herself as “Mother Nature,” a stern yet comical corporate responsibility officer.  Before Octavia entered the scene, all the officers and workers at the meeting were shuffling around looking nervous and anxious while drinks shook on the table.   We even saw Tim Cook rehearsing the lines that he would repeat to Mother Nature when she entered.   After Mother Nature arrives, Tim Cook, asks her “how was the weather getting in?” Mother Nature then says, “the weather was however I wanted it to be!”   Mother nature reminds Mr. Cook of his promise in 2020—which is to bring Apple’s carbon footprint to zero by 2030. As the commercial ensued, the viewer learns
