Pamela Anderson’s Ugg Fight

February 28, 2007 by Designer Ella

Back in the day, I myself voiced my opinion against Ugg Australia boots because they are made of genuine fur. But now Pamela Anderson, who’s worn Uggs for years and has been “blamed” for starting their craze, but is also a PETA member, recently spoke out against the boots because she just now realized they’re actual sheepskin.

Pamela Anderson - Ugg BootsI’m not sure if this is Pam’s blondness popping up, or if I should blame her for never knowing (after all, I have the blessing of shopping through Zappos.com, perhaps she doesn’t know anything about her shoe shopping choices).

But I’ve recently learned more about lambs and sheep and their fur, and I have a changed my mind on wearing it. Someone in blogging needs to speak against her famed accusations, and stand up for Ugg Australia. The company’s spokesman said it best, “sheepskin is a natural byproduct of the food industry. There is no animal abuse in our production.”

So don’t throw our your Uggs just yet for that reason, we don’t want to waste parts of the animal, after all.

Don’t throw them out because of sheepskin - throw them out because they are fug!

modelingnews Says:

Pamela’s some animal rights activist.

Designer Ella Says:

It is now a dream of mine to make shearling-lined boots with narrow shoe parts (versus shafts) to make attractive and more comfortable/warm boots.

Designer Ella Says:

Modeling, she certainly wasn’t quite for animal AWARENESS. Hah!

Queen of Suburbia Says:

Charlotte is spot-on. I know we dress for ourselves and not for men, but has anybody actually ever met a man that thinks Ugg boots look attractive?

Shoes should accentuate an outfit not dominate it!
