PEOPLE for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has declared war on former comrade Cindy Crawford over her decision to model fur. As we reported last week, Crawford, who appeared in a PETA ad in the early '90s, recently signed on as the new face of Blackglama's "What Becomes a Legend Most" campaign. "Perhaps they should change the slogan to, 'What Becomes a Has-Been Most?' " PETA's Dan Mathews snarled to PAGE SIX's Jared Paul Stern. "Cindy has become a laughingstock." Tomorrow night, PETA plans a protest outside her husband Rande Gerber's Whiskey Bar in Los Angeles. PETA plans to screen a clip of animals being tortured at a fur farm and brandish posters of Crawford's PETA ad with "Sellout" pasted across it. Similar demonstrations are planned for Gerber bars in New York, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Las Vegas and New Orleans. Crawford's rep, Annett Wolf, fumed: "This is so unfair. She's not pretending to be anything she isn't. It's so outrageous . . . Cindy was never a PETA spokesperson nor has she taken a stand against fur. She was never in a PETA campaign. All she did was one photo as a favor to Todd Oldham."

The other day, I saw a car driving around Phoenix in 110 degree weather with a bumper sticker urging people not to wear fur. Well, THERE'S a hard sell.
Oh, you mean all that pablum is just meant to be one-sided and intended to disarm the opponents of the Left? While the Left itself is still allowed to behave like snarling dogs? Quel surprise!
No pictures?
PETA vs. Cindy Crawford -- there are some intellectual heavyweights going at it. Talk about gravitas!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Poor Cindy, so persecuted. I volunteer to comfort her. 'Round the clock if need be!
A very, very welcome sight first thing in the morning...
Wonbder why PETA's never gone after Hilliary. Hillie owns fur.
Who would want to cover up this woman??
Hey, isn't it time for somebody to show up and scream, "She's too SKINNY! FEED HER! Don't guys like CURVES anymore??" and whatnot. :^)
Nothing like a little free publicity! I believe most people will walk past and think to themselves "Morons"
Crawford's rep, Annett Wolf, fumed: "This is so unfair. She's not pretending to be anything she isn't. It's so outrageous . . .
Quit whining
Cindy was never a PETA spokesperson nor has she taken a stand against fur. She was never in a PETA campaign. All she did was one photo as a favor to Todd Oldham."
I am sure Cindy signed an agreement to go along with that one picture
But, alas...this is Wednesday. It's manatee steak night.
Now that would be interesting! PETA would lose hands-down.
In the early eighties, I wanted to write an " Endangered Species Cookbook.
No, I guess they don't. It galls me that these stick thin skeletal types would then pad, enhance, or surgically alter themselves to get the curves. But the ones with natural curves are put down as being inferior, unacceptable, whatever nasty, tacky, tasteless, vulgar, etc. you can think of. No wonder women are so unhappy with their physical images.
