    Seriously Janet? That's a shame!

    This just cannot be real!!  I don't even think hunter/singer Ted Nugent would do this!!  <br />Disgusting.  Maybe it is faux fur and it's a pun???
  • bad choice...
  • It seems like a set up to me.    Not real.

    This will stir up a lot of trouble. I hope it's a set up, but I'm not so sure. People don't need to wear skins...we come with our own.

    I think this pic is from a group called One Voice, that is at the bottom of the pic.  I don't find anything about them yet, but I have gone to the Blackglama page and there are a lot of Janet's pics.  I don't know...to be read rude though, that they are not severely photoshopped, cuz Janet, we just saw is a thick girl.  Muscular...  and the web has her topless and she don't look like those pics when caught sunning...  I'd LOVE to have a perfectly photoshopped pic of me :)<br />Anyhow...a lot of celebs have done this...there are others pics you can click on.  It must be the thing to do..although their designer apparently don't think Janet is a legend...when compared to the others they've done...?<br />http://www.blackglama.com/campaigns/legends-gallery/<br />I sure don't agree with wearing fur..even though I know at one time on earth it was necessary.  But now we have ways to be warm without killing.  I don't see how to love animals and yet kill them.  My husband and I go round and round on his hunting and us raising dogs...

    Yeah, it's real, but not that pic at the top....that's apparently from an activist site...
  • I’m so against killing animals for glamour, /overreacting/ but on the other hand, Janet does look sizzling hot in that black leather lolol/

    I probably couldn't be more disappointed with somebody I once respected.<br /><br />You'd do anything for money. That's what it's all about, I guess. And that is someone who supposedly loves animals. I will never ever be able to understand how someone can have such little compassion for other living creatures. Janet is in her forties and probably well-informed about the cruelty involved with the production of a fur coat. Anyway, it is my opinion that even if the production was cruelty-free, it is never alright to slaughter an animal, especially up to a hundred or more for one item of luxury. That's the sickest and most disgusting thing in the world, I'm sorry. No, I'm not sorry, strike that out.<br /><br />Janet makes me want to say certain words starting with the letter b... or c... or the like. I won't lower myself, though. Janet's lyrics feature enough dirty language.  >:(

    The real price of fur must be measured in deaths--not dollars. To make one fur coat you must kill at least fifty-five wild mink, thirty-five ranched mink, forty sables, eleven lynx, eighteen red foxes, eleven silver foxes, one hundred chinchillas, thirty rex rabbits, nine beavers, thirty muskrats, fifteen bobcats, twenty-five skunks, fourteen otters, one hundred twenty-five ermines, thirty possums, one hundred squirrels, or twenty-seven raccoons.<br />
    <br />http://www.idausa.org/facts/furfacts.html<br /><br />That's the kind of stuff that makes me ashamed of being human.

    God I hope this is not real that's horrible, when will people learn  :cry: :cry: :cry:
  • not feeling it Janet...
  • DeliaDelia Posts: 151
    This is her choice - a sick one. Her image changed forever. I wonder: will  she ever feel delivering an explanation ?

    So is it true? Oh that's so upsetting. I'm totally against fur and I live in Russia, so<br />we get tons of it and that's painful to witness.. winter or not. Fur as fashion statement is <br />against everything I believe in. It's a no-no. <br />Janet, why?.. Money?  :(<br />
  • RKRK Posts: 3,019
    Here is a video of the actual photo shoot. <br />Janet looks amazing. <br />But fur trade is barbaric. Most US fur companies buy their fur from China and well... you know the rest<br />Just thinking about the fur industry causes a knot in my chest. <br />

    You know applehead...I just watched that heart wrenching video from Jonah about being bullied and now thinking of the slaughtering of beautiful animals for vanity and I am very teary tonight. <br />So I will say goodnight now and go and have a little cry into my pillow about the pain and suffering in the world and how we need a miracle to see change that will make a dent in this monster.
  • YUK!  vomit-smiley-27.gif<br /><br />I thought it would turn out to be a high end 'Fake' fur she was selling, not mink.  :| <br /><br /><br />

    Anyway, the music they have chosen for this video is completely unappropiate.

    <br /><br />That's disgusting. Killing animals for elitism and human vanity. So sad. Sad are the YTers' comments below this vid as well - those few who mention the furs got replies comparing furs to food. Sure, how animals that are killed for food is a big issue itself, but fur is for VANITY. Doesn't compare. <br /><br />Just earlier today watched a video today called "Killing us softly" - nothing to do with furs. It's a lecture by Jean Kilbourne about the image of women in advertising -> sexism etc. There were examples of how black women are often wearing leopard clothes, tiger make up - "as if they were exotic animals".<br />Gotta say that Janet+fur+Black cat blasting in the video... it is another example of advertisers portraying this image.<br /><br />I posted the link to the video elsewhere: topic=21627.msg377685#msg377685<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />. <br /><br /><br />
