Eva Mendes Poses Nude to Speak Out Against Fur http://www.furisdead.com/buttons/full_eva_mendes.jpg Enter to win an iPod Touch and a copy of Hitch on DVD. Eva Mendes 'I'd Rather Go Naked' Anti-Fur PETA Ad Click on image to enlarge Eva Mendes is one of Hollywood's sexiest leading ladies, sharing screen time with the likes of Nicolas Cage, Will Smith, Joaquin Phoenix, and Mark Wahlberg. A regular red-carpet knockout, Eva is courted by all the top designers, but you can rest assured that she will never show up to any event draped in fur. In fact, she'd rather go naked than wear fur of any kind! That's why this sexy Latina posed nude for PETA's anti-fur campaign alongside the tagline "Fur? I'd rather go naked." In her interview with PETA, Eva says, "I want people to know that there are options—that killing a poor animal and wearing it isn't cool ... respecting all life forms is cool." We couldn't have said it better! Like most people, Eva wasn't always aware of the cruelty of the fur trade. She told us, "I remember having my first premiere in New York City and being so naïve that I didn't have a coat with me. My stylist sent me a ... fur wrap for the evening, and I ignorantly wore it. PETA then wrote me a beautiful letter commenting on my less-than-educated choice. I was so impressed that I vowed to them and myself to NEVER wear real fur on the red carpet or in my life again." As Eva knows, the fur trade is a violent, bloody industry that has no place in fashion. On fur farms in China, where most fur originates, minks, foxes, rabbits, and other animals are kept in tiny wire cages in all weather extremes. They are strangled, bludgeoned, and often skinned while they are still alive. Since fur is often deliberately mislabeled, if you wear fur, there's no way to tell whose skin you're in—it could even be cat or dog fur. Follow Eva's example and sign PETA's pledge to be fur-free today!

If all the PETA types looked like Eva, I could be much more down with their program.
This deserves a picture, no?
Every chick looks like that after being air brushed!
You wish.
I stand corrected...Almost every chick COULD look like that when air brushed....
I don't know where you live, but more than 60% of the chicks around these parts look like that. You must be A) A womyn and/or B) From up north where ugly people breed
I am a woman and we have attractive people here too....it is just that I can't see anyone getting all hot and bothered over a photo that has been so touched up! Why can't people just look the way they do and not have to be touched up?
Shocking. People have to be touched up because that is the nature of the beast. And I can assure you, these people are not fugly. It just makes the picture look better.
never said they were...I just don't see any point in it!
I would surmise that it looks more "glossy" for additional viewing benefit.
I suppose! Just doesn't make sense...how does her naked body make me not want to wear fur? Maybe that is because I have a brain cell left!
It got your attention, didn't it? For better or worse?
For better or worse? No this conversation got my attention...I only looked at the "photo" for a second!
Good. That was the point.
Guess I might need it explained to me...why a naked woman causes me not to buy fur? Really...we are in the year 2008 who the hell still wears it? Maybe 100 years ago when wearing it might have meant life or death...guess someone has to have a reason to take their clothes off!!!!
You are kidding me right? Killing animals for fur is a multi billion dollar industry.
WHY that is my question WHY is it such a big business any longer?
Because people are stupid. Hey, how can millions of drunk hockey watching beer swilling canucks be wrong?

Good point! Guess why it makes me so mad is because this puts a message out to children, especially pre teen girls...that the only way to be heard is to get naked! I know that is somewhat extreme and if this was the only ad that did it..I wouldn't even bother..guess I am sick of being bombarded by sex all the time..and the fact little kids (even boys) are picking up on the WRONG message!!!
