Is Naomi Campbell’s Balding Sympathy for the Animals?

It must be hard to lose your hair before you reach your pension collection days, especially when your whole career depended on it for so many years. I say “depended”, as this sad occurrence can affect anyone, even former-supermodels who rely on hitting the headlines in increasingly interesting ways. Yes people, I’m talking about Naomi Campbell. It seems her hair wants nothing more to do with her and is making a rapid departure from her head.

Perhaps it’s sympathy pains for the animals that lose their hair for fur clothing? Naomi is well-known for her fur-flaunting fashion, so my guess is this is her body’s way of saying ‘Sorry’ to the millions of animals killed for their own hair.

Check out the note PETA’s Ingrid Newkirk sent Campbell to address the situation:

Dear Ms Campbell,

Please don’t get angry and throw something, but I hear that you are going bald. If this is true, then you understand what it’s like to lose your hair. Of course, for animals raised and killed for their fur, the problem isn’t just that their looks suffer (have you seen a skinned fox?! Check out FurisDead.com for a quick peek) but that the skin is ripped off their bodies – sometimes while they are still conscious.

If you are balding, please seize this opportunity to make up for promoting cruelty to animals in the fur trade by promoting faux fur and natural fibres. You would look lovely in a synthetic hairpiece and/or a pretty cotton, elegant satin, practical linen or other hat made without harming a living soul. PETA would be pleased to provide you with examples of all of the above.

Very truly yours,

Ingrid E Newkirk
Managing Director
PETA Europe

They should skin her alive see how she feels about that. She should be ashamed of herself.

I LOVE this letter , so funny !
What is going on with Naomi Campbell’s forehead? You think she’d cover her receeded hairline up. She looks like a Klingon!
