"Nude" Skater Hits Rockefeller Ice

phpUtqMjFAM.jpg

PETA's latest anti-fur face is former (1979 gold medalist) Olympic figure skater Tai Babilonia, who just hit the ice at Rockefeller Center yesterday in support of the cause. She declared, "Just because it's cold outside doesn't mean we should be cold inside. There are many more warm things to wear nowadays than fur."

The "Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" campaign had her skating around naked in just nude-colored underwear, what look like leather skates, and holding an anti-fur sign. But since public nudity is pretty much legal, it's surprising PETA is sticking to just "shock & bra" methods.

    Felix is a true believer. She would never wear fur on the way to the abortion clinic.

  • bitchincamaro

    You say PETA, I say my crotch itches.

  • NannyState

    It's unfashionable to wear fur while carving the Thanksgiving panda.

  • Barbj8

    Felix, you need to get out there and show them all. Toss on that ecru bodysuit and a pair of tofu skates and prance like a polyester fairy princess.

    felixthecat2, i love fur. I like to lay in my bed, which lays on a fur rug, and I use my fur blanket to keep warm. sometimes on the cold winter month, I throw rolled up fur logs onto the fire to help keep warm, they give off such a nice aroma.

    Time to go eat some chickens.

  • ChampionOfTheSun

    Then you might be interested in my new line of fur made from puppies and kittens. Their fur is sooo soft. And all the proceeds go to KFC.

  • itsallgoode9

    thank you Champion...do will you be having any other furs besides the kittens and puppys? I would like to get something to show off that is made out of young aquatic animals, so that the skin is perfect and not yet tainted....maybe young dolphins? let me know if you decide to make anything out of that...i would LOVE to have that.

    that link, makes me so happy. I just love thinking about the next fur I am going to buy. I need something new to wear at my Thanksgiving meal tomorrow.

  • felixthecat2

    Only a sick perverse person would enjoy such a link. I am sure that no one wants the company of such a sociopath.

  • itsallgoode9

    all of my fur wearing friends enjoy my company, so I don't see where you're going with that comment, felix.. we do try to always one-up each other with the furs of the most exotic and rare animals we can get our hands on. also, younger animals win big points in my crew...baby animals fur is the softest.

    ChampionOfTheSun...awesome, send me the details and I will pass it around to my friends!! Thanks..I will be a big hit at the next fur expo we setup. should be 30-40 people by this point. It's been growing each time we meet!

  • felixthecat2

    typcial fugly botox hag that is so disgusted with her own skin that she steals the skin of another animal. disgusting.

  • itsallgoode9

    i don't see what the problem is felix...it feels so good against my skin and it looks fabulous. i mean, once the animals are dead they don't know that the fur is gone, and it's better that somebody get use out of it rather than it just being left to rot and decay. Don't you like to look and feel fabulous felix?

  • dadoc

    Just passing through, haven't been around for a while.

    Figured I'd see if anything intelligent happening here.

    Nope. Same old.

    Everybody enjoy their holidays, see ya next year.

    Gonna go club some baby yams.

  • Angelheaded Hipster

    how do you live in this world of cruelty, felix? as pure and compassionate as you are?

  • felixthecat2

    Again, this isn't about you or me. This is about sick perverse people that wear fur knowing that animals were killed in the most cruelest form. There is no excuse of this.
