Pamela Anderson Gives UGGs the Boot
After helping popularize UGGs, Pamela Anderson is now boycotting the boots after learning they're made from real sheepskin.
"I'm getting rid of our Uggs," Anderson, 39, writes in her online diary.
"I feel so guilty for that craze being started around Baywatch days – I used to wear them with my red swimsuit to keep warm – never realizing that they were SKIN!"
It seems Anderson, 39, thought the boots' woolly lining was attached to a synthetic backing. In fact, the boots are made from sheepskin with the fur intact. "I thought they were shaved kindly," she writes.
"People like to tell me all the time that I started that trend – yikes!"
A longtime animal-rights activist, Anderson suggests starting a new trend. "Do NOT buy UGGs! Buy Stella McCartney or Juicy boots – I'm looking for alternatives myself for my boys and the men in my life! I'm designing some right now for my family and will try and have some available on my Web site soon."
Still, she admits that wearing UGGs was an easy option. "It's what I grab by my door in the mornings to bring my kids to school or walk my dog on the beach at 6 a.m. or anything early – I've definitely over used them – and that's it!!!!"
UGGs reps did not immediately return a call for comment about Anderson's Web post.

Seriously....and I never even thought about the fact that she wore them all the time and she's an animal rights activist. She must feel like a total moron.

At least she is trying to do something now that she knows.

Sheepskin is just that - the skin of a sheep. It is not the fur - they use the skin, fur intact, to make the boots. There is no cow skin used.
Pam Anderson is an absolute moron - and PETA should be ashamed of themselves (once again) for peddling sex over animal's rights.
