PETA is pulling together some big celebrity names for the launch of their 2009 “Fur is a Drag” fashion show on the eve of London Fashion Week. Of course, as you would expect, this is not going to be your standard fashion catwalk. MTV UK gives us the deets:

The London party will feature a parody of a fur runway show, cross-dressing models will be sporting fur clothing that will be accessorized with paint and animal traps. Mariah Carey and Sex & The City star Kim Cattral have donated old coats to be worn in the show after having a change of mind about wearing fur, and to perfect the look, Stella McCartney is providing the shoes

Cross-dressing models with traps and paint?! I love it! And so does Pamela Anderson. “I wish I could be in London for the Fur is a Drag show, not just to support PETA, but because I think a drag queen should play me in a film about my life and I’m always on the lookout!”

    Wonder when Mariah Carey had a change of mind about wearing fur because I clearly remember seeing pictures of her wearing fur no so long ago

    I thought she never wore fur. Remember 4 years ago when that tycoon sent her fur coats and she was appalled and donated them?

    I might be wrong though. She might have been a fur hag at one time.

    you art not wrong. Mariah Carey is a devoted Peta supporter and is well known for occasionally wearing faux fur, and passionate anti fur. the only fur coat she did send to Peta wasnt even her own, but a present from a fan.
    she is a great activist this way and a great role model.
    me think it would be wise to check facts before posting a comment.

    Aelys, could that have been a faux she was wearing?

    Either way, Mariah Carey anti-fur. Who would have thought!

    Glad Kim Cattrall had a change of heart.

    Mariah Carey was Cover Girl of Peta’s Animal Times one or two years ago.

    @VeggieTart: yes, it could have been, but it’s hard to tell from a picture, especially when it was taken from yards away – at least I know for me it’s easier to tell if I have it in front of me.

    @herwin: OK, we got it, Mariah Carey is a good girl. It just happens, as you can see, that many people have no idea or are/were unsure.

  • Nelly..

    Faux’s are much easier to trap and skin…And there are so many of the…
