  • Celebrity and Legislative Actions Impact Foie Gras Sales and Bans

    Celeb & Legislative Attention Increased Foie Gras Sales?

    0

    Tweet

    by Rebecca Carter September 6, 2006
    Categories: Animals, Causes.

    The foie gras story is not a pretty one. It paints a terrible picture of the food industry today – force feeding ducks to create a “delicacy”. Celebrities such as Roger Moore, Sir Paul McCartney, Loretta Swit, John McLaughlin, and Pat Buchanan have spoken out against foie gras. Recently Chicago passed a ban on the item. California has outlawed force-fed foie gras beginning in 2012 (why so long?).

    This inhumane practice, recently called “an industrialized form of torture”,can be read more about on sites such as NO Foie Gras and GoVeg.com.

    Sounds like people are becoming educated and it’s making a difference. Sadly, people involved in the industry don’t feel they are doing anything wrong. What’s more, an operations manager at one of these plants, Marcus Henley, states that because of all of this publicity lately, sales are up. He believes the Chicago ban will actually help business.

    See Roger Moore’s video on foie gras – I’m sure not for the weak of heart or stomach. I personally won’t be able to watch it, but here it is for those interested: Roger Moore exposes the “cruelty” behind the delicacy.

    by Michael dEstries September 5, 2006
    Categories: .

    I made the last part up–but I’m sure it’s on his list. Self-proclaimed eco-celebrity and all around nice guy (whose latest venture is being chronicled by a team of documentary film-makers), Tod Brilliant, is heading to LA for the launch of the crazy, sexy, cool new mag, Good Magazine. What is Good Mag?

    “GOOD, a new voice in media, embraces this generation’s merger of capitalism and idealism. We provide an entertaining, thought-provoking, cultural platform for those who want to do well by doing good…Our mission is to stimulate the culture of good by creating dialogue around things that matter.”

    These things are important to Tod. A man I respect as much for his creative spin on declaring fame as I do for the things he believes in. We need more Tods (though the extra ‘d’ would be helpful…I keep spelling it wrong) and more celebrity warriors in our midst to wade through the crap of modern society and get to the things compassionate, important, and honorable of our short time here. You can read more about Brilliant’s rise to fame here. (Remember, Tod, should Keira Knightley call, drop my name.)

      I agree! As a west-coaster, what was great about H&M is that when you made the trip to NYC, you could pick out a few unique things from H&M and then wear them back here w/o fear of running into yourself on the street, in the office, etc. Now, everyone shops at H&M (and Zara) and even if they get new merchandise everyday, I would still fear being a clone. They should have adopted an Ikea like approach and maintained fewer “destination” stores.

    Summer Oakes :: The Eco-Model Making A Difference

    15

    Tweet

    by Michael dEstries September 8, 2006
    Categories: Fashion.

    Summer Oakes is not your average model. Her direction in the fashion world has set her apart from her constituients. Why? Oakes only models clothing made from organic or recycled materials. Grist recently put together a nice bio on Oakes and her amibitions in the eco-world. You can get the full scoop here, but a little taste can be found below:

    “For Oakes, that message is clear. She says the $400 billion global textile industry’s reliance on pesticides, herbicides, and toxic dyes is a significant, underreported environmental and health problem. She also cites the 40 million people employed in clothing trades, many working for pittances in developing nations. While eco-activists seldom mention it, Oakes believes that fashion ‘offers exceptionally good opportunities to talk about environmental and ecological issues, as well as fair trade and labor standards.’ Addressing such a staggering situation, she says, requires that consumers — and not just the crunchy ones — understand the connection between the shirts on their backs and larger issues.”

      What an incredible way to wear your beliefs on your shoulder. Go Summer! I think it’s great.


    • Rachel

      A very dedicated individual. I suppose I don’t count because I work with her, but she is an incredibly dedicated and passionate individual. I’ve never met anyone quite like her- and her knowledge of the environment runs so deep. And YES she is fond of insects!


    • Shawna

      I’m impressed by her earnest passion for the environment. But, she’s still promoting an unrealistic body image–that’s resulting in an epidemic of anorexia/bulimia–while using sexuality to sell an idea.


    • Rachel

      Hi Shawna:
      I hear your concern about the anorexia part, but Summer Rayne is a size 6-8 with a more athletic frame than “waif” frame, actually preventing her to do most “normal” runway work for girls who are half her size (typical models 0-4). She has maintained her body through healthy eating and moderate exercise, running, weight training, boxing, boarding. She refused to lose weight when her agency asked her. How is that fueling girls to starve themselves? If anything, it is promoting a healthy image – an image to take care of your body. I think you must be careful to distinguish that it is the “typical” fashion industry that may fuel the anoerexia debate, not Summer Rayne…as it has been discussed, she is far from the “typical” fashion model in more ways than one. Lifestyle choices and body image being two examples.

      Again, I don’t expect anyone to know this about her, but I know this firsthand because I have the privelege of working with her and knowing her for quite some time. Regarding the sexuality part, she doesn’t tackle internally with that at all, perhaps because she doesn’t take herself too seriously and doesn’t put emphasis on her looks (personally-speaking, not professionally-speaking). She considers physical – mental – and spiritual equal parts and enjoys being sensual in nature, but she never, never lets it get to her head.

      Thanks for your statement.


    • Shawna

      Well… I’m not sure about the second half of your response, Rachel. I just took a look at her website and there’s pics of her that seem much more sexual than sensual. Is that what positive change requires these days?

    • Pingback: ecorazzi.com :: celebrities caught green-handed » Rainforest Action Network Benefit, Whoopi!


    • Rachel

      Change happens a lot of ways. I don’t think sexuality is needed to promote change. We aren’t arguing with you.

      That being said, she is both personally and professionaly comfortable working within the fashion industry, which is largely focused on body, looks, sexuality, and sensuality. That’s the reality of it. She recognized the “requirements” moving into the industry and also the possible “controversy” that it could engender, but also realized that it would open new doors for effectiveness in change in the space that she occupies. In short, she wanted to utilize all her assests, (be in body, mind, spirit, hard work).

      Again, she is comfortable with that personally and professionally and is not afraid to “hide” her sexuality and WILL draw boundaries when necessary. It is about balance, and I think we define that in our own ways, with our own boundaries. One of her statements to the writer at Grist was something along the lines of “roping them in with the image and making certain that the substance and message isn’t far behind.” – but that got truncated for print. We can only hope that moving foward, we can accomplish this so to stimulate more progression in this movement.

      Thanks for your feedback, Shawna. We are glad to have this conversation with you, because we are open to opinions and discussion and respect your point of view.

Shawna, I hear you as well, but understand that there isn’t time to tear each other down for perceived hypocrisies. We have to support each other RIGHT NOW. I don’t know much about this person but from I’ve scanned, she’s simply trying her best, just like you, me, Ecorazzi and the rest of our tribe.

      Great discussion all around. The best thing about Summer (having conspired on a couple project ideas with her) is that she isn’t just a model. She has science credentials (a degree in entomology from Cornell) and fashion world credentials which means she can speak intelligently in both worlds, a hard combo to find (I lived it being a conservation biologist working at Nordstrom for 14 years). Finally, she does not have a classic model body type at all and has had to fight many battles to get where she is in that world. She finds a lot of her own modeling gigs and truly does bring her values with her. Regarding the more ‘sexual’ than sensual shots…working with great photographers is part of the job, if they’re wanting to shoot a certain kind of shot for their portfolio, a model’s job is to help the photographer create that image. Summer is one of my favorite people in the world for the way she thinks and the things she does, I look forward to her future endeavors, as well as the folks in the fashion world she’s inspiring to change their ways.


    • Myles

      Summer Rayne Oakes? She’s named after a season, a weather pattern, and a type of tree, clearly the girl has problems. I’ve seen her without makeup and she could turn people to stone. By the way, I don’t think she has an athletic build because she’s never participated in a sport in her life. She spent four years at school studying bugs, weirdo!


    • michael

      I’d be the last person to diminish to such a level, but honestly Myles, you’re an idiot. I hope you’re joking.


    • Bren

      Geez Myles, you obviously need to get laid. And the name, she is part American Indian.


    • Michael K

      Funny conversations. Myles, you are crazzzeee. She was on the basketball team and Xcountry AND track too… I went to school with this lass. And so what if she studied insects? Most funding to entomology departments are by the USDA (food/agriculture) – you know, the stuff we eat and by the ARMY (for tactical maneuvering studies). Think about that as you eat everyday…. Plus, that was only one thing. She also did Environmental Science and Geographic Information Systems. I think she is applying all of that now in a positive, albeit different way from the rest of us. Good for her and all of us. Keep it up Summer Rayne!

    Russell Crowe: Irwin The ‘Ultimate Wildlife Warrior’

    2

    Tweet

    by Michael dEstries September 5, 2006
    Categories: Film/TV.

    There has been strong sentiment in the U.S. and worldwide over the loss of the conservationist and TV star, Steve Irwin. There was simply something so likeable about the guy and his personality on air. We all know he risked a lot in bringing education–and danger–to the screen (for a somewhat morbid intro, take a look at his official Discovery Channel site…)

    Fellow Australian, actor Russell Crowe described Irwin as the “ultimate wildlife warrior”. He added: “He was the Australian we all aspire to. He touched my heart.”

    Our thoughts go out to his family. What a sad and apparently random accident. What are your thoughts on his passing?

      Sadness. Sad sad sad. Mostly, I suppose, I tear up thinking about his three year-old son who he leaves behind (and other family members). Of course, that’s because I have a three year-old son! Irwin, say what you will about his brashness, lived a life that, in my eyes, helped the world more than it harmed. That’s pretty damned rare and we’re poorer without him.


    • michael

      I agree, Tod. So sad. It’s actually an amazing thing to see so many news orgs leading with the story of his life, his legacy, his family, etc. He will truly be missed, but his devotion to bringing animal awareness into the spotlight will carry on through others.

  • Pollutants Possibly Causing Intersex Fish in the Potomac River

    Did Felicity Huffman Cause This?

    0

    Tweet

    by Rebecca Carter September 11, 2006
    Categories: Film/TV.

    Gristmill wonders if the recent arrival of intersex fish in the Potomac should be blamed on Felicity Huffman. These fish show both male and female “characteristics”. I, however, doubt the relationship. The first of these fish were discovered in a West Virginia stream in 2003 – far before Felicity’s rise to fame. More details from the more serious article:

    In the past 10 years, pollutants mimicking hormones have raised alarms around the world as alligators, frogs, polar bears and other animals have developed abnormalities.

    Scientists have identified a large number of pollutants that could be to blame — including human estrogen from processed sewage, animal estrogen from farm manure, certain pesticides and soap additives.

    The discovery in Minnesota over a decade ago of frogs with extra legs, ovaries in males and other deformities was considered an early warning sign of environmental distress linked to farm chemicals.

    Congress in 1996 required the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to study how the pollutants may affect human health. A decade later, however, officials said the agency hasn’t tested any chemical, the Post reported.

      She was also in some magazine’s green edition (Elle? Vanity Fair?) and said she takes home bottles from work to recycle them at home, rather than throw them away at work.

    The (RED) program was started by Bono. Portions of the proceeds of all (RED) products go to the Global Fund, an organization that helps women and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa.
