PETA CLAWS OUT FOR CINDY
NY Post ^ | August 25, 2004 | Dick Johnson

Posted on 08/25/2004 5:28:40 AM PDT by presidio9

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."

I was just quoting the website. Maybe the operative word is "modern"? I don't think "supermodels," as an identifiable class of people, came into existence until the 1970s.

I get the feeling that they have been around a whole lot longer, but we just called them something different.

Absolutely. Betty Grable pin-up bump. I remember that Bob Dorian, who in the early days of AMC hosted everything on the network, had a real thing for her. Must have been a WW II vet.

Didn't know that, but I think pregnant women are sexy anyway.

She was, -if- that's the same pic I'm thinking of. It looks similar, but...

You copy is better. I didn't have time to do a more thorough search.

My point was that the press gets hung up on these buzzwords to the point of stupidity. Most teenagers today think that divas did not exist before Beyonce.

Here is somethin a bit different.. it allows me to slice and pound those little calves... I love little animals.. especially with my pasta.. yummmmmmmm. :)

Veal Scaloppini Ala Marsala
 

Tender cutlets, sautéed and caramelized in Marsala wine. This traditional Italian meal is best served with buttered linguini and fresh crusty French bread..
  • 2 (8 ounce) veal cutlets, halved
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, lightly salted
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons pure olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 3 shallots, chopped
  • 8 large mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed and thinly sliced
  • 1/3 cup marsala
  • 1/3 cup chicken stock or broth
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley
1) Arrange veal slices between two sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap, and pound slices until they are thin cutlets. Dust and dredge veal with salted flour, shaking off any excess.. set aside.
2) In a preheated oiled skillet, lightly brown one side of veal cutlets, about 1 minute each.
Turn and sprinkle with pepper, then brown other side, for about 1 more minute.
3) Remove cutlets to a warm serving platter, then add butter to the same skillet and sauté shallots and mushrooms until shallots are soft, approx. 5 minutes.
4) Slowly add wine and chicken stock to pan and increase heat and boil rapidly, scraping the bottom, until liquid is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Spoon over top of cutlets, sprinkle with parsley, and serve immediately.
Makes 4 servings.

I tend to avoid alcohol. Is there something I can use to replace the marsala?

My girlfriend tried modeling a mink coat with live minks... They weren't cooperative!

Besides, the minks just don't appreciate how lucky they are! After all, they're wearing mink coats!

(come on... You knew this was a joke, right?)

I've heard that's why she had her back to the camera when this picture was taken.

That is so low, tacky, and tasteless. Just like their slam at Rudy Guiliano with milk and prostate cancer. Peta is just a group of slim bags! I want to force feed them burgers right now.

Did any of you see the nut-job who has spent a small fortune on surgery and tatoos to make himself look like a tiger? He's even going to have surgery to walk on all four. Insane I say.
