Originally interested in a Bettie Page inspired piece, I came across this crazy number. Possible explanations – PETA babe turned porn star? Music video mishap? Or just a big mink mistake?
Although, I still must award Atomic an A for effort (and a C for cute, refering to their adorable photo shoot sidekick). If I was a bit more bold, I might try and swing the 1920’s glam that this bolero gives off. But right now, I’d much rather grab the bun and run. Oh, and if I did work up the nerve, I would definitely opt for clothing underneath – fo sho.

One of the most overlooked injustices our furry friends are often forced to endure is animal testing for the sake of a fashionable face. As consumers, we have the power and responsibility to enact the ultimate protest - by purchasing cruelty-free products. The Leaping Bunny Program is dedicated to the awareness and promotion of compassionate shopping. By placing their label on approved items, they provide the best assurance possible that no animal testing was done in any phase of product development by the company, its laboratories, or suppliers.
Being a fan of bunnies from the very first time I discovered a plush stuffed one on the floor of a restaurant bathroom in Mystic, Connecticut, it’s no shocker that I’ve taken a special interest in this particular organization and their almost too cute mascot. Other fans of the program include Aubrey Organics, The Body Shop, Kiss My Face, Lip-Ink International, Rare Natural Care, Urban Decay, Too Faced Cosmetics, Hardy Candy, and the list just goes on and on. With so many concious companies hopping on board, there’s tons of hot brands and products up for grabs. So, go and show some logo love for this little guy who’s helping you shop smarter.
