For people who care and are willing and able to seek out very specific brands for there are options. Some website has a list of cruelty-free companies, though many of them are subsidiary companies of larger corporations that do test on animals. I've never used a Tony & Tina product and as such can't vouch for their quality, but I know they at least used to be sort of upscale and not tested on animals. The Body Shop is a perfectly good and accessible cruelty-free solution, though. I love their lip glosses. Burt's Bees isn't exactly cosmetics, but they do sell hair and skin care products, none of which are tested on animals. The vast majority of cosmetics are tested on animals.

FYI: There are plenty of great nonleather shoes on the market for much cheaper, too, including at Target and Payless (huge selections at both) and online catalogs like VeganStore.com (Pangea). A shoe without the moo means you're avoiding cruelty too! Steer clear of leather, and all the steers will be happy. Go to www.CowsAreCool.com for more info. Hooray!

You can do more than one print if you're a) tall enough, b) keep things in the same colour scheme, and c) don't layer too much stuff on top of each other as layer looks shorten the appearance. “Organic”, “natural”, “pure mineral” and similar labels do not denote that the products are free of animal testing.

Sarah, there are many, many cruelty free cosmetic alternatives these days. I don't care what Vogue says, wearing more than one print at a time pretty much guarantees that you'll look like a jackass.

I saw this in the Jan. 2008 issue of Vogue (page 182 - is there anything I won't read? bold and mismatched graphic patters are what's in this spring ladies - just so you know - mix a bold floral skirt with plaid stockings! Aqua! Violet! Peony! Everything goes!). Anyhow... ya beat me to it... You may want to look at some of the anti Natalie comments that this story has elicited like this one found at <a href="http://justjared.buzznet.com/2007/12/24/natalie-portman-vegan-shoes/" rel="nofollow">JustJared </a>: "Doesn’t this Jewish princess have enough money already? I mean does she really need to hawk shoes too? Go back to Israel and lob grenades at Palestinians you beyatch." Thanks "Denise Richards!" You've added much to the conversation... Heh.

Cheap shoe stores mostly stock shoes made of non-animal materials and even many upscale shoe brands offer vegan shoes by now (dressy ones at that) for less. BTW, hair-dyes and cosmetics usually are animal-tested unless you get your eyeliner at The Body Shop. And what do the other $190 pay for?
