Drew Barrymore relaxes vegetarian lifestyle for fashion

Drew Barrymore has admitted she has given up her strict vegetarian lifestyle in order to enjoy fashion.

The Charlie's Angels star says she's tired of having to shop at clothing stores that don't stock leather.

But she says she still insists on buying products from cosmetics companies that don't test on animals.

'I still don't eat a ton of meat, and I don't wear a ton of leather,' she told imdb.com.

'But I just don't put strict limitations on myself anymore. I don't beat myself up. I didn't wear certain designers because I didn't want any animals to suffer for beauty and stuff, and so I literally was dressed by Old Navy at one point.

'I still shop there, happily. And Urban Outfitters and the Gap - I love those stores. You need basics for stability, but eventually I got tired and wanted to play again. Dressing is like an art form - it's so much fun.'

And when it becomes fashion to have lampshades made out of old Mrs. Goldberg's back skin, I guess Drew will buy one of those too

Didnt she say this in the Harper's Bazaar interview out now? I used to be like her and not wear leather and such but it does get tiring and its no fun at all. Im just an educated shopper now All I have to say about Drew is that she looks great! I love the makeup job they did on her. Its glad to see her all glammed up.

To me she will always be Jossie Grossie!

What's your point?

I'm confused as to how you can be a vegetarian if you still eat meat.

It's okay as long as you don't eat a ton of meat. I believe 1500lbs is the cut off point.

That Drew is a herd following cow who has no essense, no character and no morals and will do anything for fashion who would become a blood-drinking She Wolf of the SS if it was the fashion. Ambrose Ambrose

My personal justificaton for wearing leather is that I've NEVER found a pair of shoes, made of plastic or cloth, that was comfortable.

So, I try to respect the animal they came from and take really good care of my shoes, my 2 leather jackets and my belts so I won't need to buy new ones every year (unless mom looks at me, heaves a huge sigh, and demands I go shopping for less shabby things )

...twice. Both times were barely longer than a visit to Kentucky Fried Salmonella (tho, to be relatively fair, the second hubby was a talentless asshole who was hideous enough to file for divorce at Christmastime)...
