I have zero survival skills, but I can pole dance. Founder of Feather Phase Out.
I'm wearing pampas here- street outreach in Hollywood. I asked random pedestrians if they could tell the difference between real feathers and faux. 9 out of 10 people thought a real ostrich plume was artificial. These people were surprised that plumes come from a slaughtered one year old ostrich.

Spoke in front of an audience at a recent fundraiser, produced by Los Angeles based planner Vegan.Vixens
The audience was surprised to learn that real feathers are currently being labeled and sold as faux.

Peacock farms are scattered all over China. When you purchase affordable feathers from Alibaba, Temu, Shein, Aliexpress etc, they came from farms that exploit birds.

If you buy peacock feathers, chances are that they were sourced from a farm in China. Even though peacocks molt their feathers twice a year, stores sell feathers from farmed and slaughtered birds, not molting birds in the wild. Molted feathers are rarely in selling conditions.

Share if you care about birds 💚🕊
Telling the difference between real feathers and fake faux synthetic feathers is challenging for most people. Look really closely at the tiny hairs. Birds' feathers have barbs & barbules, which are the tiny "hairs" that taper to an extremely fine point.

Lovely training space in San Diego this weekend while on my b-day vacation.
"Oh, the places you'll go."
I am writing a book about my experiences as an exotic dancer in the French Quarter & hope to publish it next year.

I created a vegan burlesque fan design back in 2023 as part of my grassroots feather boycott campaign I call "Feather Phase Out." Dancers in Canada, Puerto Rico, France, Sweden, and Germany are using them. FPO is also on IG & FB.
