HIPS FOR HIRE: ANIMAL FRIENDLY SITE
The dirty secret in the fashion and entertainment industry is the amount of needless animal testing and animal products used for clothing and cosmetics. At Hips for Hire, we encourage every artist to adopt an attitude of compassion and education to prevent cruelty to animals. My cat Charles-Monet thanks you for considering how you can eliminate or reduce animal products from every day use, especially those found in clothing and cosmetics.
Imei, founder of Hipsforhire.com, with Charles-Monet
Hipsforhire.com encourages you to buy cosmetics from companies such as E.L.F. Cosmetics (as seen on the Oprah Show). E.L.F. promises 100% cruelty-free products and has brought attention to PETA's (Peta.org) fur-free program. I use faux fur and faux feather costume pieces, and I use E.LF. cosmetics to save money while delivering high-quality performances.
When you see advertisement banners for E.L.F. here and elsewhere, Hipsforhire.com isn't just trying to sell you a product to make a buck. We're hoping you will consider a conscious choice to reduce the suffering of animals while looking fabulous!
Not everyone can live the vegan or vegetarian lifestyle. However, you can reduce the animal products in your home and closet by refusing to buy leather or fur products, or by purchasing cruelty-free cosmetics from companies such as E.L.F. Please see our page on E.L.F. products under "About Us".
