Kate Winslet Tricked Into Posing With Real Fur At Vanity Fair Shoot

If you’ve seen the latest issue of Vanity Fair, you might have thrown-up a little when you noticed Kate Winslet posed naked on what looks like a real fur throw. Now obviously fur is the very worst of the worst, and generally when celebs support such cruel “fashion” they receive a major backlash from groups like PETA, the HSUS and of course Ecorazzi.
So why didn’t we pounce on Kate Winslet for her evil fur-wearing ways? Homegirl was tricked, yo!
Shortly after the issue came out, PETA contacted Kate and received a very prompt response from her rep assuring the organization that Mrs. Winslet never wears fur! The rep also confirmed that at the photo shoot Kate was guaranteed the very real fur was indeed fake – those cheeky bastards!
Now obviously Ecorazzi is pleased as punch that Kate is anti-fur, but there’s still a whole mess of folks out who just love the evil stuff. If you’re still not convinced that fur is better left on the animals that grew it, visit FurIsDead.com and get yourself an education.

I’m not sure if I buy that. How does one get tricked into posing on real fur? Faux fur can look/feel really nice but it’s fairly obvious that it’s real fur. Especially if you’re trying to avoid it. I feel like PETA, ecorazzi, etc. are letting her off the hook because they’re desperate not to lose another celebrity to self-involved cruelty. It’s such a bummer to see otherwise intelligent, decent-seeming celebs cross to the dark side. Like Gwyneth Paltrow in that TOD ad. But fur is fur and it seems like somebody as fur-free as Kate Winslet should have known better.
oh please. any half-wit can instantly tell the difference between real fur and fake.
and fur is not the worst of the worst, beef is. the fur industry’s impact on the planet as a whole is infinitesimal compared to the cattle industry.
Thanks for the mention! We were very happy to hear that Kate doesn’t support fur, and encourage everyone to visit http://www.FurIsDead.com to find out why you shouldn’t either.
who’s looking at the fur?
i can’t understand kate winslet – even on the photography it’s obviously fur!!!
Fur is sexy. Who cares who wears it? Last time I checked, there is no such thing as a literal fashion police.
A:
Unless you live in a nomadic tribe where status is actually affected by your capabilities of providing food and clothing for your family, then no, it’s not sexy.
K:
If you are one that believes that only animals should wear fur, take a look in the mirror. You are a human. A Mammal. Mammals are animals. Yet, if you consider yourself not an animal, then you had better shave every single hair off your body, because your hair is your fur.
A:
“If you are one that believes that only animals should wear fur…”
Did I say that? Short answer: no.
If my hair is my fur, then I’m entitled to it, just as animals are entitled to their own fur
You suggesting I shave my hair off is inconsistent with the premise of your argument. I suggest you take a lesson on logic before spouting rhetoric on a subject you have little knowledge of.
K:
A subject I have little knowledge on?
Well if you believe that to be the case, then I just have one more thing to say.
Go ahead, throw red paint on my fur.
I have been meaning to buy a new one!
Wos, this “A” person seems like a dumbass…
Thanks Helena,
Isn’t it nice how people seem to question the intelligence of others that don’t share their opinion on a specific subject?
I only post on forums such as these to mess with people! Some such as “K”, get so emotional about written words.
No, messing with people does not make me feel better, and it does not help me sleep better at nights.
I only do such a thing just for the fun of the responses I recieve!
If I come across as a “dumbass”, I do apologize. It is not my intention to seem unintelligent. However, my opinion is valid. And thus, everyone else’s opinion is too. Calling one a “dumbass” is merely drawing attention to your small vocabulary for harsh words. Alas, now I have stooped to a level lower than usual!
Back to the subject at hand, seeing how it is not illegal to pose on fur, I say good on Vanity Fair for using real fur! If Kate was an anti-fur believer, shouldn’t the sight of faux or real fur be a disgust for her? Yet she lay down, and posed. Looking fine, by the way.

A,
I am not anally electrocuted to be able to wear my OWN hair. Plus I did not steal it from something else that died a painful and inhumanely cruel death to achieve some sort of narcissistic fashion status due to my own self confidence issues with no care for another earthling and sentient beings physical and emotional incomprehensible pain.
