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.

Nicki Minaj to Release Eco Conscious Sneaker Collection

Nicki Minaj has partnered with green sneaker brand, LØCI to produce a collection consisting of 11 different pairs of sneakers.  LØCI is a black owned sneaker brand who is committed to crafting products made of sustainable materials such as Bio leather made from food grade corn and natural cork insoles. The  sneakers also consist of materials made from recycled rubber, foam, bamboo and ocean plastic from the Mediterranean Sea.  The vegan eco-luxe company strives to remain environmentally conscious throughout the various phases of production and manufacturing.  Each pair of sneakers are made with 20 recycled bottles sourced from the Mediterranean Sea.



Nicki Minaj gloated about the release of her new environmentally conscious sneaker collection in a surprise Instagram post.

    

LØCI’s materials are sourced from responsible suppliers all around the world.  Ten percent of LØCI’s profits are donated to bio-diversity charities on an annual basis. LØCI also has a sneaker recycling program which allows customers to recycle their old sneakers in exchange for a promotional code of $30 per recycled sneaker.  Once the sneakers are received, LØCI goes to work tearing apart the sneaker and recycling the materials.

Nicki Minaj’s sneaker collection is said to blend street cool aesthetics with high fashion chic.  A pair of sporty pink low top sneakers were shown in the promotional posting on her Instagram page.  The sneakers feature an imprint of Nicki on the sneaker tongue and bold burgundy-colored soles.  Barbs were totally elated about Nicki’s sneaker collection and sounded off in her comment section.

@celebslovenickiminaj said, “I can’t wait to cop me a pair or two 😍🔥♥️🦄🎀👟👟”

@theclosetratchet chimed in with “Oh wow!!!! Man this is hip hop too. Sneakers and street wear go hand in hand, this is so dope 🤩 Congratulations, Nicki!”

@_kaymone said, “I didn’t even wait til the shoe appeared before I already decided in my head I NEED me a pair.”

@mallymallof stated, “I’m getting me several pair.”

We love that Nicki’s first sneaker collection is made with eco-conscious materials. Not only that, she’s chosen to partner with a company that believes in the greater good of this planet.  Nicki’s barbz are so loyal. They will more than likely sell out the NICKI X LØCI sneaker collection.  The announcement caused a 3500% increase in website traffic ultimately bringing about a crash. It's the power of the Barbz.  

The collection will be released on April 13th.  Fans can sign up at the below link to be notified about updates regarding the release.

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

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

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
