|
Lolita star Dominique Swain Declares, "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" Los Angeles. The wildest dream among kids is finding themselves standing nude in front of their classmates. Actor Dominique Swain (Lolita, Face/Off), just turned that dream into a reality when she became the youngest star ever to pose au naturel for PETA's anti-fur campaign. In the ad, Swain appears naked in a classroom, writing, "I'd rather go naked than wear fur," on the chalkboard. Swain will unveil the ad for high school students:
Date: Monday, December 10
Before the unveiling, Swain will show students a brief video exposé of animal
cruelty in the fur trade, hosted by designer Todd Oldham. Twenty-one-year-old
Swain joins the ranks of Pamela Anderson, Kim Basinger, Melissa Etheridge, and
Christy Turlington, all of whom have shown some of their own skin in order to
save animals' skin in PETA's high-profile "Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur"
series. The unveiling is sponsored by Venice High School's Peace Club, which
has been active in promoting kindness to animals, spaying and neutering, and
recycling in the area. |
