Stella McCartney comes to Second Life, July 12, noon SLT

By Celebrity Trollop | July 25, 2007

BUMP Since I’ve gotten a some comments and a few emails, I wanted to post the winners of the Stella McCartney contest here:

  1. “All we are saying… is give fleece a chance.” Armand Ryan
  2. “Give a hoot give fur the boot.” Amy Guerrero
  3. “It doesn’t take death to look this good.” Stella Watson

Congratulations to all of the winners. You can see the display of the winning slogans in world at PETA (7, 4, 31).

stella_mccartney.jpgFrom July 12-19, RL fashion designer Stella McCartney and PETA will co-host on Second Life the first worldwide virtual anti-fur protest on a private island created by virtual world service firm Rivers Run Red.

The island design is inspired by the harmony of the English countryside features stables, horse jumps, a lake, picnic tables, Linda McCartney mini veggie burger stalls, a ‘live’ dj booth and both Stella McCartney and PETA information tree-houses. The Stella McCartney / PETA Island will be open from July 12th at noon SLT until July 29th.

StellaMcCartney_protest.jpgGuests will be invited to come up with the best anti fur slogan, based around the PETA slogan ‘I’d rather go naked than wear fur’, or simply wear a t-shirt saying: ‘I’d rather be pixelated than wear fur.’ As
the slogans are submitted, they will appear on the island, forming the basis for an ongoing discussion about fur. The slogans will be judged by Stella herself, with the winner announced on 22nd July.

The best 3 slogans will win some great prizes. First prize: 2 tickets to the Spring/Summer 2008 fashion show in Paris in October. Second prize: a Fall / Winter Stella McCartney Appaloosa bag. Third prize: a full set of CARE skincare products. Everyone will be able to get a goodie bag of PETA anti-fur items.

  7. I don’t really know what to say because … I am not partial to PETA. Yay for animal rights but just not PETA.

    I need to see Your Mommy Kills Animals somehow.

  8. I’d rather wear bling than attend a lame PETA party. Actually Stella McCartney coming into SL is a good thing as the recent googly eyes bug will add a bit of “RL” legitimacy to her avatar.

  9. I have a fur rug in SL. Does that mean I can’t attend?

  10. Important cause and looks like awesome prizes!

    However I have to say, like Violet, I am not a fan of PETA in the slightest. I also think it’s kind of odd that there will be horse jumps and stables as part of the build when PETA actually advocates that it’s cruel to jump horses. That said, I am all about the animals…just not via PETA’s extreme methods.

    But yup, I don’t believe in wearing fur so yay for anti-fur awareness.
