A Candy Pink Vegan Bag and the Style of a Dreamy Parisian Blogger

September 12th, 2012

There is this blogger by the name of MakingMagique, well, her real name I believe is Haleigh.

Wow, her blog is incredible. Not only does she take amazing photography, but she seems to have an amazing life. She has an incredible apartment in Paris which she has remade and redecorated with beautiful things, an incredible wardrobe, awesome style, great photography skills, cool friends…it is so fun to check out her blog.

It makes me wish everything I owned was beautiful and awesome. A Dolce Vita, a Non Leather Life, if you will, of beautiful but cruelty free things. One day, I will have a company perhaps providing awesome non leather things so that we can all look as cool as this blogger.

She has very girly style and loves pastel pink and blue. She has this amazing pink bag that she carries all the time in her photos….of course it is leather, but I found a non leather look alike (sort of–well it reminded me of it) on modcloth in non leather and I thought I’d share some pics of her awesome style from her blog. However, I couldn’t pick just a few pics, and have included all of my favorites. Check out her blog–there are far more where that came from.

Here is the bag of the wonderful aforementioned blogger:

And here is my vegan lookalike I found for you:

Modcloth Practical in Pink Bag $54.99

Sort of?

Anyway, I tried to share a ton of pics of her inspiring style, but none of them seemed to show up on this blog. Therefore go to my other blog, where I posted them as well, to see many many pics of my favorite outfits of hers. You won’t be sorry you checked out these outfits. Or simply go straight to the source–her blog.

Also, if you want to, like this blog on Facebook because I have a fun thing I want to do that I can only do on facebook involving photos of ourselves and our animal inspirations, that I will be writing about in the next post.

Your thoughts? Hehe. <3

PETA’s Shock Tactics and Some Fun Pics of Scandolous Vegans

September 11th, 2012

Hi guys,

What do you all think about PETA?

I think they are great. I love their attention getting ploys. I find them hilarious and truly attention getting, which is the point. I love that they care enough to do what it takes to expose people in the street to vegetarianism and veganism. They shock people out of their complacency, similar, in fact, to Socrates of ye olde Ancient Greece.

They called Socrates “the Gadfly” because he was constantly, annoyingly, stinging people out of their old ways of thinking and routines and forcing them, with his intrusive questions as they tried to go about their business in the agora, to stop and think about how they were living their lives.

He eventually was put on trial and put to death for this, because people hated to be stopped to think. They wanted to go about their lives, eating bacon, eating Christmas ham, Thanksgiving turkey, the Pesach Lamb, Mcdonalds, KFC , wearing their fabulous fur and awesome leather boots, carrying their designer handbags, and eating their boneless chicken breast and the like.

Indeed! Peta is the gadfly of the animal rights world.

I love looking at their campaigns in which they employ attractive women to stop men in their tracks and get them thinking about vegetarianism.

Peta made this statement when they launched a XXX website this June about their unusual methods:

PETA’s mission is to put an end to animal suffering, and we use every available opportunity to spread this message we always have, and we always will. Unfortunately, this is not always an easy task. Unlike our opposition, which is mostly made up of wealthy industries and corporations, PETA must rely on getting free “advertising” through media coverage.

It’s a safe bet that many visitors to PETA.xxx didn’t set out to learn about how animals are mercilessly slaughtered on today’s factory farms; understandably, such topics are convenient to ignore. That’s why PETA must make our message impossible to forget—and launching a website with a .xxx domain name is one way that we can achieve that goal.

Brilliant.

But I know a lot of animal lovers who hate their methods… Your thoughts?

Whilst looking for pictures of their campaigns online, I saw they had a girl on girl world tour in which two girls in valentine’s day bikinis lay on a bed kissing and scandalizing the neighborhood. HA!

And now,

Enjoy or perhaps be annoyed by, some pictures of some memorable PETA campaigns below:

Costume win!
