The Gap Buys INTERMIX And Their Fur Free Baggage

On January 3rd it was announced that The Gap had acquired INTERMIX for $130 million. INTERMIX generates sales that are estimated to be around $130 million annually. (That's sales, not profit.) So This deal with Gap worked out to be about dollar for dollar. The Gap bought INTERMIX from its founders and private-equity firm Goode Partners LLC, which owned 40 percent. I'm very curious why exactly Goode Partners left INTERMIX and put their stake in the company up for sale, but one can only assume it's due to INTERMIX's rapid expansion (15 new stores in six years, nearly doubling it's size.) Opening up a new location isn't exactly cheap, and due to the rate of INTERMIX's expansion, it's understandable why Goode Partners would pull out. Overall brand awareness might increase with new locations, but turning a profit takes time. When it was announced that Goode Partners was getting out, The Gap Inc. swooped in.

Losing 40% stake in your business is a huge issue. Once it was announced, INTERMIX had to act fast. The Gap didn't have much of a stake in luxury fashion, and saw INTERMIX as a potential avenue for expansion in that area. However, part of INTERMIX's profitability is based on the fact that INTERMIX makes money selling fur. Frankly my dear, that's blood money... 

Now here's where it gets really interesting. The Gap is fur free. In fact all of The Gap's brands (Banana Republic, Old Navy, Piperlime, and Athleta) are fur free retailers. The Gap's latest acquisition, INTERMIX, is far from it. Fur Free LA has led a campaign against INTERMIX's sale of fur for over a year. Now that INTERMIX has a new parent company, it's imperative that we contact The Gap and let them now how we feel about INTERMIX selling real fur. Unfortunately for the animals, INTERMIX founder Khajak Keledjian, is still Chief Creative Officer. However now he has to report to Art Peck, President of Gap Inc's Growth Innovation and Digital Division. Using the pelts of animals that have been beaten, anally electrouted, and killed for their fur is far from innovative. For INTERMIX to truly expand, I suggest getting into the business of compassionate fashion.

Today, Monday, January 7th, we're asking everyone to contact The Gap Inc and urge them ban the sale of fur at INTERMIX. As far as a corporate and social responsibility goes, it's the right thing to do.

The Anti Fur Police

Vegans and animal activists are often belittled with a lot of name calling. We're all a bunch of "tree-hugging, granola eating, hippie freaks," right? I suggest omnivores come up with some fresh material, because I don't take that as an insult. All it means is that you have excellent climbing skills, and a bohemian sense of fashion. Plus, granola is awesome. You should try it sometime!

Dog forbid we ever so much as mention why we're vegan. "Stop shoving your views in my face! What are you? The vegan police or something?" More recently, I've been called the "Fur Police" for my fur free activism. I quite like that, so I decided to go as the Anti-Fur Police for Halloween. I'm laying down the law... 

"Mam, I'm going to need you to STOP selling fur, or I'm going to have to take you down to the station for questioning." This may be my favorite Halloween costume thus far.

Crazy Cat Lady and Her Cardboard Cuties

Four years ago today, I adopted one of the loves of my life, my cat Gabby. I am a crazy cat lady, loud and proud. I love my two girls and we celebrate our anniversaries every year. I adopted Chloe on May 9th, 2008 and Gabby on October 17th, 2008.

(Gabby is the black cat above and Chloe is the grey tabby below.) 

As you can see, my cats love cardboard boxes. I was thinking about getting a little cardboard log cabin for them, but I may have to step up my game and get more creative than that... 

This video by Billy Browne may be one of the most heartwarming youtube clips I've seen. I love fellow feline appreciators that honor their companionship like Billy's cardboard playhouse for Rufus. I may not have the most cat friendly house in the world, but I try, and I sure would like to build something fun for my girls. Happy cataversary Gabby! x

Crazy Cat Lady and Her Cardboard Cuties

Sammy The Squirrel

A few weeks ago I was out for a walk with my dogs when we stumbled upon a baby squirrel! At first I sight, I thought he was dead, but when I looked closer he was very much alive. As a kid I used to take in injured birds, but I've never rescued a squirrel before. Instinctively, I scooped him up, and brought him home with me. I decided to name him Sammy, as Skippy was already taken by my neighborhood's mischievous resident squirrel. Once I got Sammy inside, I noticed he was covered in fleas. Not like one or two, but at least 40 or 50. I tried combing them out, and then gave Sammy a bath in warm water. At this point, I wasn't sure if Sammy would make it, but I figured I'd try and make him comfortable  in his last few hours. 

After cleaning him up and giving him some warmth, I noticed Sammy's condition began to improve. With a glimmer of hope that he would survive, I began searching online and calling some friends with squirrel experience. From what I initially read, giving Sammy a bath wasn't the smartest idea, but at the time I thought it was the right decision. What concerned me more than anything was that Sammy wasn't moving very much. He just laid in my hand. Given how I found him and his current condition, I'm assuming Sammy fell out of a tree. After inspecting Sammy, I noticed that he had a cut lip and a little bruising on his left cheek. One of the website suggested feeding him pedialyte because he could be dehydrated. 

With a little warmth and some fluids in his system, Sammy began to move around. I was ecstatic! He began crawling up on my shoulder, and he burrowed under my hoodie when he got cold. From my research online, I was able to determine that Sammy was about 8 weeks old. Apparently, squirrels leave their nest between 8-12 weeks, so it seems like Sammy was somewhat unsuccessful with that first attempt. 

Since I still hadn't heard back from the squirrel rehabber I had contacted, I continued to follow the online advice. I tried feeding him some avocado, banana, blueberry, and raw cashew. He really liked his pedialyte. I couldn't give him too much at a time, or feed him by holding him on his back. If you feed baby squirrels too fast, or hold them in the wrong position, you can aspirate them. Meaning the liquids can get into their lungs and they can catch pneumonia, which can potentially be fatal. Since Sammy was able to eat solid foods, and eat on his own, I didn't run into that problem. That spooked me, so I was very careful about while feeding him. 

Boy did Sammy love his avocado! Not only are they soft and easy to eat, but they're high in fat and nutritionally delicious. My first day with Sammy, he spent the entire time curled up with me, but in fear of squishing him, or my cats getting to him, I made a little squirrel bed. I turned an old pet carrier, a cushion from one of my dog beds, and some old t-shirts into Sammy's bed. I covered the travel cage with extra blankets and hoped he would make it through the night. He did! When I woke up the next morning I found that Sammy had ripped a hole through the dog bed and made a little nest for himself. You can't get mad at baby squirrels, it's impossible. 

My second day with Sammy I tried to get him to move around. I wanted to see if that fall had affected him in any way. Seeing as he was still a wee little guy, he was more interested in burrowing in my sweater than climbing around. Sammy was able to climb up on my cat's scratching post, navigate his was down from the counter, and he could even climb down from a tree. Low and behold, Sammy had done a 180 from the half dead, flea ridden squirrel I had found the day before. 

I became very concerned that Sammy and I were getting too attached, and spending so much time with me might cause some problems with re-relasing him on my own. Squirrels need to be "wilded up" in order to be re-relased, and my TLC could have hindered on that. When I was finally able to speak with a rehabber, she said that one of the reasons Sammy was covered in fleas when I first found him was likely due to his mother dying. Due to that revelation, I decided it was best to hand him over to someone with the experience and means to care for him and re-release him back into the wild. He was doing very well with me, but if I couldn't reunite him with his family, he deserved to make a new one. As much as I love the little guy, that was the best move for him. 

So it was decided that the next day I would drive Sammy out to Coast and Canyon Wildlife Rescue in Pepperdine. They have over 60 squirrels in their care, so it would allow Sammy to make a lot of new friends. The next morning we had breakfast together. When I say together it was more like I gave Sammy some avocado and took hundreds of photos and videos of him eating it. It was bittersweet as it was one of our last moments together, but damn he was cute. 

We had a good cuddle and said our goodbyes, and with that, I dropped my little man off at Coast and Canyon. I wished him the best in all of his squirrel ventures. Coast and Canyon posts updates of all their animals on their facebook page, so I can see his progress. They work really hard and do a great job, so if you have the means, I highly suggest making a donation. They work tirelessly to help animals and they need every penny they can get. 

Coast and Canyon recently posted a photo of Sammy! They said he's sharing an incubator with some buddies and they're having a lot of fun in there. I'm so happy for my little man!

Sammy The Squirrel

The Ultimate Vegan, Cruelty Free Makeup Guide

** Update: As of November 26th, 2012, I no longer support Urban Decay Cosmetics. Urban Decay has sold out to L'Oreal, making them a subsidiary of L'Oreal's animal testing evil empire.

I had some requests on Vegans of Instagram about what makeup products I personally use, so I've put together a post of all of my favorite products. I got myself all done up for the sake of this selfie, but I usually wear half as much makeup, if that. I'm workin' that blue steel face, eh? I predominantly buy all of my products at Sephora or Whole Foods. I will cross check prices before I make a purchase, so if I can find something on Amazon, or another retailer for less, I'll go for that. It's no secret that I have a shopping problem. It is both a blessing and a curse. While I have an affinity for the somewhat more expensive, high quality products, lord knows I love me a good sale. The way to my heart is through a gift card.    

It's very important to me that none of the products I use come from a subsidiary of a larger corporation I abhor. All of the products listed below are vegan, however some of my products are from companies that are vegan friendly, but may not be an entirely vegan brand. Always double check ingredients! Even if it's a product you've been using for years, companies may change their ingredients or get bought up by a larger company. Every company I use is cruelty free (i.e. not tested on animals). This post was written in September 2012, so let us pray that none of these brands will switch to the dark side. For example, I'd been using Bare Escentuals mineral powder for years, but I was unaware that they had been bought up by animal testing giant, Shiseido in 2010. When I found out, I immediately switched to Mineral Fusion. 

Alright, enough of this rambling, let's get to the products:     

FACE:
1⃣ Primer: Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer. This is honestly the best primer I've used. Before I discovered Hourglass I was using Too Faced's Primer. It's good, but it's not Hourglass. Hourglass' primer feels like liquid silk, sans silk, this product is vegan. It's seriously amazing. If you buy it in travel size, it’s a lot cheaper. Like all Hourglass cosmetics, it is free of parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes, and phthalates. I first discovered Hourglass at Sephora. The woman who was helping me told me that Hourglass was a vegan line, which is wrong. Hourglass is a vegan friendly line. She was lovely, but we ended up having a lengthy discussion on the welfare of bees, which is always fun... So if you walk into Sephora asking for help finding vegan products, I highly suggest learning the names of animal ingredients and their byproducts, because they won't always know. The Animal-Free app for the iPhone and Android is very helpful. 

2⃣ Liquid Foundation: Hourglass Immaculate Liquid Powder Foundation. I had bounced around searching for a nice liquid foundation that not only worked, but matched my skin tone. Isn't it annoying when your skin and neck are different skin tones? Gabriel had been my backup foundation, but then I found Hourglass. It is more expensive than most, but it is a far superior product. I tend to only use liquid foundation and flashy makeup when I go out at night. During the day I like to give my skin a break and keep it natural. 

3⃣ Powder: Mineral Fusion Loose Powder. As I mentioned above, I've recently switched to Mineral Fusion. My skin is more prone to breakouts, and after switching to a more natural, less toxic brand, my skin immediately began to clear up. While I do love this product (it's available at Whole Foods, so I can pick it up while I'm grocery shopping.) I'm considering transitioning to Jane Iredale’s Amazing Base. 

4⃣ Cover Up: Mineral Fusion Concealer Duo. Finding a good, vegan friendly cover up can be challenging. A lot of coverups contain beeswax. If you do manage to find one that's vegan, they tend not to have a thicker consistency, and you really do need that to COVERup. Mineral fusion's coverup is vegan, and guess what? It actually works. With the two color options, it really gives you the control of blending and highlighting to match your skin tone. Checkout my friend Kate below trying out their concealer. 

5⃣ Blush: Gabriel Color Rose Blush. Most makeup products contain carmine, a red pigment which is also used as a coloring agent in food (Natural Red 4), but it is actually obtained from crushing the cochineal insect. (Eww!) I'd been using Urban Decay’s “Fetish” until I noticed one day that it didn't have the vegan paw print like the other UD shades. Turns out, it contains carmine. :(  Finding a good substitute took some time, but when I came across Gabriel's Rose blush, it not only matched the Fetish coloring, but it applied even better! It comes in a powder and not a yucky cheek tint like Urban Decay's. I highly recommend giving it a go. I buy all of my Gabriel products at Whole Foods. 

EYES:
1⃣ Eyeshadow: Urban Decay “Lost” is my favorite everyday shade. I also like their "Hijack" eyeshadow if I'm feeling rather frisky. With all of Urban Decay's products, make sure that the Marley Approved Paw Print is next to the individual shade to indicate that it's vegan, otherwise it's not. Here's the list of all of Urban Decay's vegan products. If you're looking for shades that have a flair for the dramatic like MAC (which is no longer cruelty free) I recommend Too Faced's Exotic Color Intense Eye Shadow. Most, but not all of the shades are vegan. "Cop a Teal" and "Poison Orchid" are my favorite vegan shades. If you apply them wet, (like with a vegan eyeshadow primer) you'll get a much richer application. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page under details, they'll indicate which shades are vegan friendly.   

2⃣ Mascara: Manic Panic Raven. Nothing is harder to find than a good vegan mascara. Most mascaras contain beeswax , carmine, or elastin. I spent months trying out almost every vegan mascara on the market. Unfortunately, I found that the majority of natural, organic mascaras are complete and total crap if you want any sort of volume. (Click HERE and HERE for my vegan mascara reviews). Manic Panic's mascara (made with synthetic beeswax) was the undisputed winner. It is by far the best mascara I've ever used. Gabriel and e.l.f were the runner ups. The other mascaras I tried were quite frankly unusable. LUSH has a new vegan mascara out. The product is quite good, but the brush itself is too short for the bottle, so I had to return it. Hopefully they'll change the packaging and we'll have another good vegan mascara on the market.

***Contrary to what you might have read elsewhere online, Physicians Formula, Korres, 100 Percent Pure, Too Faced, Emani Minerals, Mally, Smashbox, Tarte, and Mineral Fusion do not, I repeat: DO NOT have any vegan mascara options. They're all made with beeswax, carmine, or mica. 

3⃣ Eyeliner: Too Faced Perfect Eyes Waterproof Eyeliners are ridiculously good. I like green shades as a liner rather than your standard black, so I use one of their vegan shades called "Perfect Peacock."It really gives the eyes more pop. You can even use a purple shade like their "Perfect Purple." The nice thing about Too Faced's eyeliners is that they have a smudger on the other end of the pencil to blend in for a nice smokey eye. For a more natural, everyday look I use Gabriel’s "Pine" eyeliner. It's quite nice.  

4⃣ Liquid Eyeliner: Urban Decay24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner. All of Urban Decay's liquid eyeliners (with the exception of "Woodstock") are vegan. I don't use it as often, as I prefer a pencil, but these are some of the best I've found.  

5⃣ Eyebrows: Sobe Botanicals Eyebrow Filler. When I was a kid I tried to copy my mom doing her eyebrows, so I used my dad’s razor and shaved off the front of both of my brows. They grew back, but ever since I’ve always filled them in. Most eyebrow fillers contain beeswax. However, Sobe Botanicals does not. Unlike your typical eyebrow filler set, this comes in a loose powder, not a base. Apply a very, very thin coat, and brush it in with an eyebrow brush and comb.

LIPS
1⃣ Lip Gloss: Gabriel Lip Gloss “Venus” This is hands down the best lip gloss I've used. The "Venus" shade is heavenly. 

2⃣ Lipstick. Tarte LipSurgence “Envy” Surprisingly, Tarte does not have that many vegan products, but they do make a fantastic vegan lipstick. Some of their LipSurgence shades can also work as a cheek tint, although it can get a little messy if you blend it in with your fingers and not a brush. For your standard lipsticks, I'm a fan of Gabriel’s "Velour" and "Raisin" shades.

3⃣ Lip Balm: Hurraw Lip Balm is fantastic. Very moisturizing, great scent, no harmful chemicals. All of Hurraw's lip balms are vegan, organic, raw, non-gmo, and Leaping Bunny approved. The Coconut balm is my favorite. 

SKIN CARE (DAY):
1⃣ Serum: Skin By Ann Webb Super Vitamin C. Anything with Vitamin C and anti-oxidants is bound to improve your complexion. I love Ann Webb products. They're gluten free, paraben free, organic, and the majority of them vegan. It's labeled "VEGAN" right on the front, which I love. I can't tell you how much time I've spent scouring the internet on my phone trying to find out if something's vegan or not.

2⃣ Moisturizer: DeVita Solar Protective Moisturizer (SPF30) DeVita's line is great! All of DeVita's skin care products are 100 percent Vegan, paraben free, and cruelty free. I like having a moisturizer that has SPF in it. Your face is the last place you want to get wrinkly from the sun. Click HERE to read my full vegan sunscreen review.

4⃣ Lotion Alaffia Virgin Coconut Body Cream. Alaffia's Coconut Body cream smells great AND it's super hydrating. 

All of these products are available at Whole Foods. 

FRAGRANCE: I was very depressed when I found out Stella McCartney’s perfume was made by L’Oreal. So I went on a quest to find a replacement scent. This was quite the challenge, as I’m exceptionally picky when it comes to scents. To give you an idea, I like peony, rose, jasmine, gardenia, vanilla, and coconut scents. I’m not into the herbal/citrusy scents. My top pick: Kai Fragrance: Perfume Oil. I emailed their company and they confirmed that “there are no animal derived ingredients in their products.” Win! (Go with the oil, the perfume is too light and more expensive). Their products smell AMAZING. The next fragrances I enjoyed were Pacifica’s “Tahitian Gardenia,” Lush’s “Vanillary,” and Lavanila's Vanilla Passionfruit. I also enjoyed KleanSpa’s fragrances, particularly the “Nectar” and “Fresh Rain” scents. However they were a bit too tropical for my taste, and I don’t know how often I’d actually wear them. 

You know that feeling when you walk by someone and you’re like, “Wow, you smell amazing. I totally want to bone you.” That’s what I’m looking for, and I found that with Kai Fragrance. Mission accomplished!

TOOLS: Makeup brushes are commonly made from squirrel, mink, sable, horse (sometimes called “pony” or “camel”), or goat hair. Mink and sable brushes are products of the cruel fur industry. Horse hair is commonly obtained from horses who are slaughtered for their flesh. Squirrels are hunted or trapped, and goats are shorn like sheep. Gross huh? Not to worry! I have some fabulous makeup brushes for you: 1⃣  Hourglass Cosmetics, 2⃣  Too Faced - Teddy Bear Hair Brushes, 3⃣ Urban Decay - Good Karma Brushes. I personally don't own any EcoTools, but I've heard very good things. 

I also like to use Skin By Ann Webb’s Coffee Berry Eye and Lip Balm. For those nights I’m out too late and get puffy eyes the next morning. A little caffeine under the eyes reduces the puff, and it also helps with crows feet around the eyes. (Thankfully, I haven't had to worry about those yet...) Another product similar to Ann Webb's is 100 Percent Pure's Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream.

EVERYTHING ELSE: I LOVE Giovanni Cosmetics. I have really straight hair with very little body. I've been growing my hair out. The longer I go without a hair cut, the frizzier the tips of my hair become. So I use Giovanni's Root 66 Shampoo and Conditioner. Then I apply a little Frizz Be Gone to the tips of my hair after I've blow-dried. I've been walking around like Marsha Brady lately because my hair feels so much healthier. 

Giovanni also has a line of skin care. The D:tox line with volcanic ash and gogi berry is SO good. It's one of the best lines for exfoliating, and no more expensive than your average drug store brand. I use their body wash, body scrub, facial cleanser, and facial scrub. All of Giovanni's products are vegan except for their Lip Balms which contain beeswax and their Magnetic shampoo, conditioner, power treatment, styling gel and styling wax which contains lactoferrin.

Okay! I know that's a lot, but I'm a girl so shut it. Hope this helps! If you have any other questions feel free to give me a shout.

The Ultimate Vegan, Cruelty Free Makeup Guide

Keeping Up With KITSON's Killing. Yup. They're Still Selling Fur

I busted Kitson for selling real fur back in January. I reported my findings to the Humane Society because I discovered that Kitson was selling several items mislabeled as "faux fur" when they were actually made of real fur. Thanks to the Truth In Fur Labeling Act, that's against the law. Since the scandal broke, Kitson has pulled all of their fur items off of their website. If you do a search for "fur" "fox" "coyote" or "rabbit" on their website, your search will turn up with no results. After Kitson "apologized" for their murderous mislabeling spree I made the mistake of assuming their fur selling days were dunzo. Boy was I wrong...

Last night I walked into Kitson and guess what I saw? Ugh. Fur everywhere. Not only were they still selling, coyote, fox, and rabbit fur, but they were still selling the SAME Street Level purse they were busted for selling as faux. I checked the tag in the bag. It said "100% Polyurethane," which is what the faux leather material is made of, but there is no mention that this bag is indeed real fur. Canine fur to be exact...

Kitson was also selling a Mitchie's knit scarf / hat set with fox fur pom poms. One label said "100% Acrylic," but there was another poorly sewn label that said "Dyed Skin Fox Fur. Origin: Canada." I'm not sure who would actually buy this. The hat looks like you're wearing a floating dingleberry on your head, but the lack of compassion and taste at Kitson doesn't seem to be an issue for them.

Also for sale, Dolce Cabo's 4545 Rabbit Fur vest in Champagne, Black, and Cream/Coffee. Dolce Cabo's vests were in Kitson back in January, but these vest's are from their fall 2012 line. Each of these vests took about 30-40 rabbits to make. I'd also like to note that seeing as they were "Made In China," the rabbits suffered in the most unfathomable conditions before they had their throats slit. Rabbits are forced to wait in crates before they are killed in assembly line fashion and have their carcass hung to a steel hook. China has virtually no animal protection laws, so it's common practice to beat these animals to a pulp before they're slaughtered. Real fashionable, huh?

Just when I thought I'd seen it all I spotted Pvblic's Coyote Fur Trimmed Hoodie. Yup. You heard me right, a zip up hoodie with real coyote fur. The tag said that fur's origin was from the USA, but the hoodie itself was assembled in the Dominican Republic. The majority of all coyote fur is hunted and trapped. Coyotes can spend agonizing lengths of time pinned to leg hold traps. Most fur traps do not kill instantly, so these poor creatures have to wait days, even weeks pinned to the ground with severed flesh. The steel trap will break through bone, but hold on to just enough flesh to keep them pinned to the ground. The animals have to wait to die, either from starvation or pain, or from the repugnant hunter that comes along to collect his kill.

As I was inspecting the fur, I wondered, what kind of heartless bastard would not only buy this monstrosity of a coat, but think it's actually "cool." When I googled "Pvblic Fur Hoodie" it all made sense. Kourtney Kardashian was wearing this exact hoodie on TV! She seems like a lovely person, doesn't she? What a schmuck.

So, Kitson has really pissed me off. This is simply unacceptable. I believe a protest is in order. The question is, which location should we pick? It might be fun to do a double protest seeing as Kitson is right across the street from INTERMIX on Robertson Blvd. While I organize this campaign, I strongly urge you to contact Kitson, and let them know what you think of their cruel "fashion" choices.

The "Kitson: Please Stop Selling Fur" Petition and Facebook page are still active, so please sign the petition and pass it along to your friends.

Kitson, I implore you to do the right thing and adopt a fur free policy. If not, on behalf of the millions of animals slaughtered for their fur annually, I'm coming after you. 

xoxo,

Amy
