I have also been informed by a raw vegan chef that booze is vegan, as the wee yeast beasties don't "count." Stella McCartney is a genius that it took me a while to understand. I'm very glad to see her working at more affordable price points. Those are still damn cute creations, too. She's right that green principles ADD value to a brand, not take it away.

I am not Vegan, I eat white meat (bird, fish protein) I hope this offends few. If the animal is respectfully killed and all parts used, then it is as my ancestors practiced (I am 25% Native American). I cannot accept the slaughter of the animal strictly for it's pelt because waste is disrespectful of the sacrifice. I am not Jewish but when I buy proteins, I try to keep Kosher because I know the animal was treated with respect for giving it's life.

I love them. BTW, my husband and I belong to a gay gun club. How's that that strange? I've gotten to be a fantastic shot in a short amount of time. However, guns would cut into my shoe budget and we won't be having that. Can I just say that I am loving the gladiator shoe trend? I love them.

Plainly she is not ``cruelty-free'' when dealing with the second wife of her father. As for the vinyl shoes - the Annalucia remembers seeing them in her girlhood, back in the Paleolithic. They looked cheap and did not wear well at all. Unless the manufacture of vinyl has improved by several orders of magnitude over the decades, she cannot imagine spending good money for them, now or ever. “Stella, who legendarily disliked her stepmother Heather Mills, and reputedly made a small necklace with a prosthetic-leg charm dangling from the chain, designs all her wares to be “rigorously cruelty-free.”

I'm a vegetarian, not a vegan, but I still stay away from the skins. I can usually get my shoe fix by buying satins and velvets and other clothy pumps. I loved the Stellas until I looked closer...what is up with the nasty plastic? Just make the shoe go all the way up, huh? But I gotta say, I do love target shooting and I'm damn good at it!
