The whole PETA thing is besides the point.
Does J-Lo really need to use real fur on her clothing?
This ain't the Middle Ages folks, there is absolutely no need for it.
And just because she has worked hard to get where she is doesn't justify it. I work hard too and I don't help skin animals alive.

I have to wonder of those who endorse Ms Lopez's right to wear fur, how would they feel if it was their dogs and cats who were being skinned alive for a trimming on some unattractive clothing?

What I find even more mystifying is who the hell is buying Lopez's ugly ass clothes anyway? I will never forgive her for reintroducing the velour tracksuit. Those nasty things don't look good on anybody, let alone overweight middle age women who still think they are hip by wearing something "J-Lo" had on last week.

AHEM. I resent the "overweight middle-aged" comment. I am heavy and in my mid-40's and I certainly wouldnt wear something only because it is trendy--especially JLO's line (I happen to abhor her "style") I choose my clothes for comfort and for coverage, as I suspect most heavy women do.
Its comments like yours that expose the pervasive prejudice against weight/age. One day, you too will be middle aged, possibly even overweight.
A little forebearance on your part wouldnt come amiss.

as for the fact that she uses fur, as I said before, most people DONT wear it any more and I predict that particular line wont do very well. I suspect that the few people that would buy fur probably wont like the reaction they will get from the rest of their friends etc...this whole phenomenon will probably become a non-issue in short order.

I think that was more of her point, rather than the overweight statement.

well, speaking as an overweight middle aged woman, I cant imagine wearing anything from JLO's Line, and I have my doubts that ANY overweight middle aged woman would rush right out and buy her clothes, thus the comment was off base if you ask me. The days of worrying about what is "hip" and perusing the fashion magazines are long gone for me....

I apologise, I didn't mean to offend.
A lot of people young and old wear those awful velour tracksuits (not necessarily J-Lo's, she just re-introduced the style) here in the UK, and they look terrible on everyone, that's all I meant.
I've seen plenty of people wearing them who shouldn't be. Both teenage girls and their mums wear them.

Alright then, its all good
and you're right, its true, lots of people wear things they probably shouldnt...
but maybe those tracksuits are comfy? possibly its a chance to wear something casual and trendy? I dont know, I dont wear them because I know they would accentuate all the bad spots

They do look comfy but they're not too flattering unfortunately, which is why I can't wear them either. I think the only person who they look good on is J-Lo, which is why I blame her for the epidemic!

I saw a girl the other day it looked good on but she had a perfect body. To me they are leisure clothing, for lounging around the house, not to be worn out! I have one and it really is comfy but I would never wear it out.
