PETA has harnessed the power of Web 2.0 for one of its most vicious
campaigns yet, with a spoof dress-up game poking fun at 'Trashley' and
'Hairy-Kate' Olsen for their decision to wear fur. 'Dress Up the Trollsens' is based on he many 'drag and drop' dress up dolls found on the
internet, but with a sinister twist: in this version you adorn your
chosen twin with 'fatal fashion', consisting of dead dog handbags,
bleeding fur coats, choked chinchilla caps and murdered mink miniskirts
(nice!). A 'Hairy Kate' doll is pictured left.
While the twins have been wearing fur for some time without
receiving any special treatment from PETA, it seems that the final nail
in the coffin came when they chose to include it in their new fashion
line The Row ("Death
Row, more like" as PETA's website put it). While I don't approve of all
PETA's tactics (does anyone!?) I have to applaud them for lampooning
the Olsens for making such an irresponsible and backward-looking
decision in a brand new clothing line that will be the envy of many
young women.
