Katherine Jenkins opens Harrods sale amid boos from anti-fur campaigners


Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins opened the Harrods annual January sale yesterday to boos and chants of "Shame on Katherine" from anti-fur campaigners outside the store. The 28-year-old vegetarian, wearing a strapless black and white lace dress, took on the duty a year after Leona Lewis turned down the same role (and £1 million paycheck) - apparently due to Harrods' policy of selling fur.

She was presented with a pair of diamond-encrusted Christian Louboutins by Harrods owner Mohamed Al-Fayed for her troubles (lucky girl!) and said of the protests happening outside: "Personally I do not eat meat or wear fur, but people are entitled to their opinions. I was very excited to join the sales - I am a girl's girl, so obviously this is my idea of fun." What do you think of her decision?

Yay or Nay Wednesday: would you rather go naked than wear fur?

Our last Yay or Nay was the petunia swing turtleneck from Anthropologie. Most of you said that it was a wholehearted "Nay!", although one our our fabulous readers pointed out they "think it would look great on someone with long brown hair and a chunky fringe".


We featured Janice Dickinson marching (half) naked with her (fully) naked male models in protest of wearing fur, earlier this week. This got me thinking. Would you, in fact, rather go naked instead of wearing fur like Janice? Yay or Nay?
