P!nk
Pipes Up for PETA
“The Only Wildlife at Centro-Fly Is Human—No Fur Coats
Allowed” declares red-hot singer P!nk on a poster promoting
the cruelty-free dress code at the hip New York celebrity hangout.
The singer, whose hits include “Get the Party Started”
and “Don’t Let Me Get Me,” is tickled … well
… pink at Centro-Fly’s no-fur policy and happily
donated her time to sing the praises of a cause she believes in.
Each year, millions of animals are trapped, drowned, or beaten to
death in the wild and gassed, strangled, or electrocuted on fur farms.
Despite the fur trade’s attempts to revive the industry, sales
remain half of what they were in the 1980s. Many designers, including
Todd Oldham, and Stella McCartney, refuse to design
with fur.
Centro-Fly’s dress code follows that of SPA, where manager Steve
Lewis has directed his bouncers to turn away any fur-wearing club
crawler (except for Steve’s dog, who often hangs out at the
bar).
