Kimora Lee Simmons really knows how to make a statement.The former Mrs. Russell Simmons and hip-hop fashion empress turned reality TV starlet is going au naturel for a new ad campaign.
This time, it wont be the sensational shots she starred in to promote the Baby Phat sneakers line but for a new eye-popping campaign for PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).
In the ad, titled "Be an Angel for Dogs," the statuesque St. Louis native wears nothing but a stunning pair of angel wings and holding her dog, Zoe, to illustrate the her naked desire to get people to make dogs a part of their families-and not leave them tied up outside or cooped up at home alone all day."You cannot just chain up an animal," Simmons said. "The chains are heavy, it's cruel. Dogs need to run and play."
Karl Lagerfeld's former muse urges people to do whatever they can to help neglected backyard dogs. "Everybody should do the best they can, because a lot of little 'best-you-cans' add up to a lot of saved animals."
According to a PETA spokesperson, the campaign was launched to coincide with national Unchain a Dog Month, which is observed every January.
Simmons has reportedly donated more than $20,000 to PETA to help severely underprivileged dogs living in low-income, rural areas. "Thanks to her generosity, more than 100 dogs have received sturdy, weather-tight doghouses with a shade overhang for summer, straw bedding, toys, and new collars and harnesses," the rep said. "Simmons' funding of PETA's program provides not only truckloads of houses but also staff to deliver them, truck rental and gas, and the equipment to dig up fences and posts that commonly tangle dogs' tethers."The wings she's wearing in the ads were designed by renowned costume designer Martin Izquierdo, the genius behind Victoria's Secret's iconic angel wings.
They were made out of 100 percent cruelty-free synthetic materials.

Shes setting a great (nude) example for her two girls. When they come of age they'll be taking it off just like Mommy. They already know how to have bad attitudes just like Mommy.

I dont get why people are making such a bug deal..Eva Mendes did the same thing for PETA..and in her pic you get a clear shot of her butt..so what is the big flucking deal..and if you aren't gonna help those "poor children" or "underprivleged pets" then dont hate on her for making some kind of effort..

What do posing nude and PETA have in common? Why do people have to pose nude to gain attention for a cause? Are her children going to be proud that she supported PETA? NO, more like mortified that their mother posed nude!

Ms. Stevens is a bit out of touch. She is helping to end pet ownership by supporting PETA. PETA and the HSUS want to end any contact with animals by man. No Aquariums, no zoos, NO PETS, especially dogs, no cattle, chicken etc. In effect Peta wants to segregate animals and man. Seperate but EQUAL in the eyes of the law.. Seems I have heard that before. Any one remember that?
Ms. Stevens has been co-opted by the very organization that would HARM her relationship with her pet dog.
