Leona Lewis dresses as bunny for bizarre shoot
Leona Lewis has taken part in a bizarre rabbit-themed photoshoot to celebrate a European ban on animal testing for cosmetics.
The Bleeding Love hitmaker is a keen animal rights campaigner and she was delighted when European Union (E.U.) bosses rubber-stamped the proposed ban earlier this year (13).
The ruling means no beauty products tested on animals can be
legally sold in Europe, and to celebrate Lewis donned a bunny ears
headband and pulled a series of wacky poses for Britain's
Cosmopolitan magazine.
In the shots, the singer is shown clawing at the camera, blowing a
kiss, cradling her chin in her hands, and pretending to punch
herself in the face.
She tells the publication, "It's awesome. The E.U. ban will put
pressure on the rest of the world: they won't be able to sell their
animal-tested products in Europe any longer, so it makes financial
sense that they replace their animal tests with alternative methods
if they want to trade in this lucrative market."
