World's Sexiest Vegetarian Poll and Contest
PETA is holding a poll to determine the world's sexiest vegetarian. My ballot went to John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats and Jane Siberry (obviously, I think songwriting skills are the sexiest).
Many indie musicians are represented in the list of finalists, including:
Adele Bethel (Sons and Daughters)
Alan Donohoe (The Rakes)
Andrew White (Kaiser Chiefs)
Ben Bridwell (Band of Horses)
Chris Geddes (Belle and Sebastian)
Chris Hannah (Propagandhi)
David “Jaff” Craig (Futureheads)
Denison Witmer
Doug Martsch (Built to Spill)
Ian MacKaye (Fugazi)
Ian Parton (The Go Team!)
Jane Siberry
Jason Clark (Pretty Girls Make Graves)
Jason Trachtenburg (Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players)
Johanna Fateman (Le Tigre)
Jordy Samolesky (Propagandhi)
Keith Murray (We Are Scientists)
Kianna Alarid (Tilly and the Wall)
Matthew Friedberger (The Fiery Furnaces)
Morrissey
Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs)
Pierre de Reeder (Rilo Kiley)
Ted Leo
Todd Kowalski (Propagandhi)
and many more...
Authors nominated include Jonathan Safran Foer.
My only regret is that my favorite vegetarians didn't make the list of finalists. Brooklynvegan combines his excellent music blog with a level of activism for both veganism and animal rights that I admire. Isa Moskowitz, author of Vegan with a Vengeance and Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, and also star of the cable access Post-Punk Kitchen, has been an inspiration to many vegans, vegetarians, and people cutting back on their meat consumption (like myself).
In the comments of this post, name your favorite celebrity vegetarian, and be entered to win a copy of Isa Moskowitz's amazing vegan cookbook, Vegan with a Vengeance: Over 150 Delicious, Cheap, Animal-Free Recipes That Rock. Entries close Tuesday, June 5th at midnight (central), and the winner will be announced the next day.
