and wool came off an animal so what's your point? He also wore fur in that picture of him posing like a king.

So lmaoo!

MAJOR flop reply!

^^ That's what they all say when they're proved wrong

@Voices - That makes sense. Blackglama isn't even that big anyway. But I think its good exposure for her.

It is great exposure for her.

I love the fact that she is staying BUSY and in the public spotlight. I think that is part of the reason for her decline in the past. She was never visible in between projects. Doing stuff like this and Essence, American Idol, films, etc. keep her name out and keeps her visible. In today's climate you can't hibernate between projects and expect people to care.

Yea, it's nice to see her expand her brand outside of just music. I wish she thought about this in her peak though. Her career probably wouldn't be in the position it's in now. But whatever, better late than never.

Failed pic....

I'm not criticizing Janet at all, save your energy to defend Janet against people attacking her on here and leave MJ alone...

fail

I'm not defending Janet, dumbass. All I did was provide a pic of MJ wearing fur. That's all.

The only fail is you saying fail for no reason

Fail

The things I would do to this woman!

That's just it, you didn't prove me wrong. The wool used in Michael's grey cape is shaved from a sheep. The sheep is not killed. Btw, even if they didn't use the wool for clothing, sheep have to be shaved anyway. As far as the "fur" in the kingly robe that King Michael is wearing, that is not real fur. It is most likely some type of synthetic material to look like fur. For the record, I don't care if Janet poses for these ads. I was just responding to your post that Michael has posed for pictures in a fur coat. He hasn't. He didn't.

Wool comes off a sheep. He's wearing a dead animal's skin. Where's your proof that the fur on that the king outfit is fake? I'm not here for "more than likely". I posted a picture of him wearing a coat with fur on the hoodie. So he has worn fur and on top of all that he ate meat. So save your shit for someone that cares LMAO. Janet wasn't the one that sang about animal cruelty anyways.

I seriously doubt that. Besides his face don't look greasy and he never wears hats like that.

So that's what Janet done with her black cat.

On a serious not i'm not happy with Janet's choice to be the face of this label - this has probably put me off her a little bit. But i'm sure i'll get over it.

ahh, how delightful. What a beautiful coat!! So elegant and glamorous. I'm sure if feels wonderful. Go Janet!! Hopefully her promotional efforts will lead to increased sales of lovely mink coats to lovely, rich ladies who truely deserve such luxury.

And none of this is troubling, at all:

* * *

"The mink is a semi-aquatic predator native to North America. Mink are very solitary creatures who spend a substantial portion of their day swimming in the water. Mink are very inquisitive, and have a range of 2- ½ miles. This is an active species and does not adapt well to life in a cage.

On fur farms, mink are deprived that adequate space needed because they are kept in cages averaging 10" wide by 24" long. Sometimes the cages are a couple of inches wider, or a couple of inches shorter. Either way, this is not adequate space for any animal, much less one such as the mink. This sort of intensive confinement has severe psychological implications. Ranch mink engage in neurotic behavior. Many will move back and forth in the same repetitive motion for extended periods of time. This is called a stereotype pattern.

Because mink are kept in such cramped conditions causing an increase in stress, many ranch mink develop stomach ulcers and enlarged adrenal glands. This is a sign of chronic stress. The fur industry conducted their own tests in hopes to prove that ranch mink are not stressed. In their studies, young mink are used before they can develop stomach ulcers. The results of these inaccurate tests are used to "prove" that intensive confinement does not affect the mink. It is understood how the public is misinformed about the truth on fur farms with the release of such deceptive tests.

Tail biting is a form of self-mutilation that is common in captive mink populations. Self-mutilation is a hardship for fur farmers because it devalues the animal's fur pelt. Mink are killed after their winter coat reaches prime to cover many of the flaws in the fur. This is recognized as an unfortunate cost of conducting business. Large pens would reduce the amount of self-mutilation, but the additional space would increase overhead costs. It is more cost-effective for the industry to cram more animals into a smaller space, and deal with the occasional stress related death or self-mutilation.

This semi-aquatic animal does not get a chance to swim in water if born on a fur farm. The lack of exposure to swimming in water is believed to increase behavioral problems in ranch mink. In the summer time, a wild mink might take a dip in a pond to cool off. Denied that option, many ranch mink die from heat related diseases in the hot summer months. Some years, as many as 10% of a fur farms stock may die from heat related conditions.

As fashion trends change, so does fur farming. Fur farmers utilize selective inbreeding to encourage the development of mutant color phases to meet the whims of fashion. This process led to the development of white, gray, mahogany, and shades of blue mink. This style of genetic manipulation does not only change the mink's hair color, but it creates physiological problems as well. For Example, the Hedlund white mink is a genetic mutant that was created on a fur farm. This mutated animal will lose her hearing at 30 days of age because of a genetic defect. The Royal Pastel mink often develops what farmers call a "screw neck" deformity. With this deformity, the mink will turn her head in an awkward motion repeatedly. The Blue Iris mink has a weakened immune system due to a deficiency of natural killer cells, and one strain of demi-mink has a stress syndrome. These unfortunate characteristics make life dreadful for these mink. This type of mutilation is non-existent in the wild, but very standard on fur farms.

Death for these animals is a horror story.

Mink are usually gassed or violently injected with poison. Many just have their necks broken or are asphixiated. An undercover investigation found that some minks are killed with weed killers, which can cause the animals to convulse for up to 10 minutes before death."

I cannot believe that people still feel the need to wear fur coats. There is no reason for an animal to be treated in this fashion.

=0P

PS. Can't wait until P!nk says something about all of this...

She won't. Isn't she in the hospital?

She looks amazing!

I have to just dismiss statements when people say things like "She's doing it just to get attention". Um...news flash. SHE'S JANET FUCKING JACKSON. She has the all the attention she needs or wants. Being sexy on stage by wearing a BODY SUIT (unlike Cher who literally wore a fishnet oneszie and duct tape) doesn't mean you're "getting attention".

Do folks really think Janet is sitting around her beach house thinking "Well, I finished the two Tyler Perry movies, I have a few other things in the works, but what can I do to get some attention?????" I mean, REALLY PEOPLE? REALLY?!?!?! It's so damned juvenile. It's the same thing when people say "Oh she's just jealous ...." or "she's trying to be like ......." Yeah, cuz people actually sit around and think about who they can mimick opposed to actually trying to be original.

How many things/times has Prince copied and flat out ripped-off/borrowed James Brown, Sly Stone, Santana, and other's riffs, fills, yet no one has said boo about it, because "that's just Prince - he's a genius". Yeah well aside from his genius moments, the boy has truly pulled from other folks, and gotten little criticism about it. Yet Janet is confident at 44, and feels totally comfortable in her skin, and everyone is up in arms about it. It's just a bit hypocritical, and a bit mid 20th century, isn't it?

I'm GLAD she's out there making MFers talk. She's doing what she wants to do, not what she feels she has to do. Therein lies the difference between her, and little ones like Aguilera or Spears pulling shit for the shock value of it.

Who ever said at 40 you have to hang up your stilletos and fish nets? Pffft. 40 is the new 30, babies, so get wif it.
