journal entry from 11.2.003 Spotlight Humane

This is an event held at the Hollywood Palladium. It’s all about cruelty free fashions and products. The fashion parade - “Compassion in Fashion” - focuses on Couture Cruelty Free Fashion or “workin’ it for the planet” - no leather, no fur, no silk, no pearls. I make the huge faux pas of grabbing my leather jacket on my way out the door to the event. Great! I am told by one of the exhibitors “don’t let anyone see you with that jacket”, and spend the rest of the event freezing and trying to hide the leather jacket that rests on my arm.
