mmm
earthandwear have converse copy shoes... but only in really limited sizes.. only 5 and 6 for the stuff not in clearance; the latter being sizes 2,3 or 4 at present - not much use to the more err, 'well-endowed' amongst us.
Love it
Fantastic to read, Blood red shoes are now my new Brighton hero's!
A Carnivore's Humble Opinion
I am all up for not just responsible consuming, but what about hand-me-downs? Screw the high street brands they pay sweet F.A. for clothing that is negligably better quality than immitation brands (that apparently fund terrorism) and flog it to the masses for a 900% mark up (probably more). You can find it all in a Marie-Curie/Oxfam shop 6 months later anyways (tho in islington they'll probably charge you half-price so i recomend dalston or hackney). 2nd-hand chic!!!!
As for world-wide vegetarianism, sorry not gonna happen.
How about realistic alternatives like ending the McTryanny of the rainforest. Get rid of soya-intensive mcshite and Big-Cahoona-Burgers and get everyone onto organic locally-reared (at least from the continent) produce. In this country WE CAN ALL AFFORD IT!!!! I'm afraid this includes staying away from mutant chicken shops too! Most people eat an unhealthy amount of poor quality meat anyway, that's why so many stupid people idolise the morons in the tabloids.
- that's one theory anyway :)
ethical stylist
I think it's fab that a great local band like Blood Red Shoes are making a stand - we need more role models to show people how easy it is to make a statement with what we wear.
I work as an ethical stylist in Brighton - www.ethicalstylist.co.uk - and try to promote exactly what you're saying - let me know if you want to work together on a mini Brighton ethical fashion campaign!

Spending Power and the climate/grain
Thats great - the power of spending is probably the only way left to express our opinions. On that note would the writer join in advising that avoiding the consumption of meat so far as possible would be one of the best ways to help combat not just the current grain shortage, but also climate change: the rearing of meat is one of the heaviest industry's in existence creating huge carbon emissions, and requiring so much grain as to make the rearing of cattle completely inefficient. A well educated public could turn these problems around through their spending choices alone in a matter of years, not decades even.
