NO FUR PLEASE!

When I was modeling in my younger days, I remember that we were really at the mercy of our agents. However, I recall one time, (I was freelancing then), I swiftly turned down the opportunity to model for an international fashion house because they had a range of furs that they wanted to market here.

What was wrong with that? Here in Singapore? Perhaps Korea and Japan up north would be more appropriate but that was not the point. My point was then at that time, I was very much against using animal fur in apparel of any sort. I was aghast and told them I would not do it.

I was then called all sorts of names from unprofessional to stupid, but I stood my ground. Of course I didn't get the gig and lost the opportunity to make some big bucks with that fashion show, but it didn't bother me.

Today, I am still very much against the use of animal fur or any animal part for that matter, in anything fashion related. All this came to mind when I found this ad. I really hope you will pitch in an do your part. No matter how small you think it is, it ain't.

Missus Singapore out!
