I've been successfully a vegetarian for almost 4 wks now. The only animal product I eat is dairy. But somehow everything seems in vain when I still have leather or wool products in my wardrobe. Not a lot but still... I've always been a fashionable person (I'm gay, duh) and shoes are particularly difficult. No top designer wants to touch fake leather because it comes off cheap. I realize some designers have created many faux fur outfits, but what about shoes? I don't find them anywhere. Am I just looking in the wrong places? Why doesn't addidas or puma run a design line made of pleather? I'm sure there's a huge market for it.
My reasons for not eating meat is purely based on compassion, not health. The health part is just an added bonus for me. I was once vegetarian for 10 yrs but this time I feel even more compelled to not be the result of any animals suffering, anywhere. Fashion is the most difficult for me, particularly shoes. i'm a performer so I have to look good. I realize this all sounds like vanity and not at all that critical, but it's extremely frustrating to someone that's attempting to be more "animal" conscious and still remain "fashionable". I know there are alternative out there and I've been looking at the websites, i'm just not a fan of most of it. Maybe I should just begin my own clothing line.......
