 Eva Mendes is one of Hollywood's sexiest leading ladies, sharing screen time
with the likes of Nicolas Cage, Will Smith, Joaquin Phoenix, and Mark Wahlberg.
A regular red-carpet knockout, Eva is courted by all the top designers, but you
can rest assured that she will never show up to any event draped in fur. In
fact, she'd rather go naked than wear fur of any kind!That's why
this sexy Latina posed nude for PETA's anti-fur campaign alongside the tagline
"Fur? I'd rather go naked."
In her interview with PETA, Eva says, "I want people to know that there are
options—that killing a poor animal and wearing it isn't cool ... respecting all
life forms is cool." We couldn't have said it better!
Like most people, Eva wasn't always aware of the cruelty of the fur trade.
She told us, "I remember having my first premiere in New York City and being so
naďve that I didn't have a coat with me. My stylist sent me a ... fur wrap for
the evening, and I ignorantly wore it. PETA then wrote me a beautiful letter
commenting on my less-than-educated choice. I was so impressed that I vowed to
them and myself to NEVER wear real fur on the red carpet or in my life again."
As Eva knows, the fur trade is a violent, bloody industry that has no place
in fashion. On fur
farms in China, where most fur originates, minks, foxes, rabbits, and other
animals are kept in tiny wire cages in all weather extremes. They are strangled,
bludgeoned, and often skinned while they are still alive. Since fur is often
deliberately mislabeled, if you wear fur, there's no way to tell whose skin
you're in—it could even be
cat or dog fur.

Special Olympics
International star power is heating up the 2007 Special Olympics
World Summer Games! Actors Colin Farrell and Eva Mendes, actor
and producer Bruce Willis, Hong Kong pop star Karen Mok, and
Chinese film stars Vicki Zhao and Xu Zheng have volunteered to
publicize the Games as official spokespeople, and to promote the
Special Olympics goal of promoting understanding, acceptance and
inclusion between people with and without intellectual disabilities.

his fans will take note of Special Olympics and be inspired to get
involved, too. |
