JANET JACKSON WEARS REAL FUR & UPSETS PETA

"What Becomes A Legend Most?

Hollywood Elite welcomes 44 year old Janet Jackson as the newest face for BLACKGLAMA FALL 2010 COLLECTION. Diana Ross, Sophia Loren, Lauren Bacall, Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minnelli, Lena Horne are all "LEGENDS"that have participated in Blackglama's What is Legend Most? ad campaign for the past four decades. 

"For decades, Blackglama has represented the finest, most exclusive mink in the world. Janet is an icon in the world of music and entertainment, a true legend. She represents everything that this storied campaign embodies. Janet is to entertainment what Blackglama is to luxury."

-CEO of BLACKGLAMA, Joe Morelli

Janet Jackson Blackglama ads can be seen in the September issues of W, WWD, VOGUE, VANITY FAIR, HARPER'S BAZZAR AND MANHATTAN'S TIME SQUARE BILLBOARD. 

 

"What makes a legend, to me, is someone who has made a major mark on the world that lasts forever. Not just with their art, but for example, Elizabeth Taylor is a legendary actor, but [there is] also her humanitarian efforts, working with AIDS and AIDS research. That, to me, is what really makes someone a legend. I have too much to accomplish to consider myself a legend." 

-JANET JACKSON

Former Baywatch Babe, PAMELA ANDERSON a PETA ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVIST went all in on Janet saying...

 "
It's disappointing. She has spoken out against fur before. I don't know why some people stop listening to their heart. I guess some people get greedy, but it's sad."

In keeping with the tradition, all "legends" get to keep the furs that they were photographed in. Janet wore her floor length black mink Blackglama coat while performing at this years ESSENCE MUSIC FESTIVAL in NEW ORLEANS. She will continue to wear this custom-made coat during future performances.
