Aya Sugimoto makes PETA's best dressed list

Friday 05th December, 04:22 AM JST

TOKYO —

Aya Sugimoto, a singer, actor, model, dancer, and erotic-novel writer, has been selected as one of only five Asian celebrities to make People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Asia-Pacific’s first-ever best-dressed list.

“I stopped wearing fur two years ago after having learned how products are made,” says Sugimoto, who runs here own faux-fur clothing line, Dear Elsa, which is named after her beloved cat. “I want people to know the cruel and sinister reality.”

Sharing honors with Sugimoto for their stylish and fur-free fashion choices are sultry action-flick actor Maggie Q, Grammy Award–winning coloratura soprano Su-Mi Jo of South Korea, award-winning actor Sun Li (aka Betty Sun) of China, and veteran actor of more than 40 films, Karen Mok of Hong Kong.

PETA, bloody hypocrites, killing thousands and thousands of animals a year. I guess rules don't apply to themselves, only others.

Like to roll around on a bear skin rug with her for a few hours. Even the usual 10 mins be nice.

PETA was running animal shelters in the USA and when they got too crowded the morons decided that it would be best to just gas the unwanted cats and dogs with engine exhaust and toss the carcasses in a dumpster.

They are never going to live this one down. Once you stat reading some of the quotes of Newkirk you realize that they really are lunatics.

Of course if they can get good looking women to undress in public I guess they have one redeeming quality.

Or the women are idiots.

They all were happy with their little photo shoot and all went out for yakiniku at the end of it... PETA ... sounds like a cheese.
