Nia Long would rather go nude than to wear fur. I have to say, I love this PETA concept, but did they have to rap her legs around a dirty subway pole. There are too many subliminal messages in this ad (um stripper) that I don’t know where to start, but I would actually rather wear fur than have my midsection on a subway pole, or any pole for that matter. I’m sorry I couldn’t resist, but I love Nia Long, and if she tells me not to wear fur, then I will not wear fun.
In being a responsible adult and really understanding what happens for one fur coat and how many animals are killed and slaughtered for one fur coat, it just isn’t worth it to me.
When I became a mother, I started to really understand the importance of all living creatures in a way that I didn’t ever think about before. And I’ve realized how important it is that we really take responsibility for … treating animals with love and care just like we would any human being. There’s no difference, in my opinion, [between fur and] slavery or the Holocaust. It’s just that we’re not dealing with human beings, we’re dealing with animals, but it’s still a living thing.
Taraji P. Henson knows cross over appeal is the best way to get those leading roles in blockbuster hits instead of those supporting ones. The first step is to appear marketable, and in this country that translates to sexy. Ms. Henson has always been comfortable in her own skin, we’ve all seen Baby Boy, but this new appeal is more mature and classy. Checkout these new pics of Taraji P. Henson in Men’s Fitness Magazine:
