Take Back Your Mink

You'll see a lot of skin on CBS' Nov. 20 broadcast of the Victoria's Secret fashion show, but there are a few things you won't see: modest garments, a great deal of fabric, or the four protestors who stormed the runway during supermodel Gisele Bundchen's stroll at Thursday night's taping. The activists, from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) were protesting Bundchen's recent signing as a spokesmodel for mink furrier Blackglama. Clad in a beaded bra, a leather miniskirt, and stockings, Bundchen ignored the four women on the catwalk with her, who were chanting slogans and holding signs that read: ''GISELE: FUR SCUM.''

According to the New York Daily News, private security guards detained three of the PETA protesters; a fourth escaped from the lingerie gala, held at the Lexington Avenue Armory in Manhattan. Kayla Worten, Arathi Jayaram, and Karla Waple were arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, given summonses, and released. Bundchen's segment was retaped, without the fur flying.
