Bindi Irwin Officially Launches Eco-Friendly Fashion Line, Considers Run For President



Yesterday in Sydney, Australia, Bindi Irwin — daughter of the late Steve Irwin — became the fashion world’s youngest designer by unveiling her Bindi Wear International clothing line. As we’ve mentioned before, the more than 100 different items in the collection will all have some measure of green — with 100% of the profits going towards various conservation efforts. Not only will the clothes carry environmental messages like “Tigers should be loved, not rugs” and “Extinct Stinks!” but where possible, they will also contain recycled materials.





Bindi is also looking ahead — with plans to run for Prime Minister of Australia or President of the United States already on the table. “In America they are looking for the next president and I’ve listened to everybody and, nothing against them, but they are talking about jobs, houses, developments, money, money and more money and there is nothing about conservation,” she said. “I haven’t heard anything about that. We really do need to start doing something - we can’t eat money in the long run.”

Bindi also got heavy on the subject of whaling — something her father was adamantly against. Last year, the Sea Shepherd Society honored his memory by dedicating an anti-whaling boat in his name. Said Bindi, “It’s awful what’s happened - it’s become war. It’s bullets now.”

Oh, by the way, she’s only 9-years-old and her environmental policies are already years ahead of the Bush Administration. Which, frankly, is not surprising.

(I think this girl is real dynamite.)

2. Wow. She really is ambitious! It's amazing how some people can take tragedy

and use the energy behind it to push through life instead of letting life drag you down.

3. Cool!

I was checking out the Australia Zoo site in preparation for a trip to Oz this fall. Her "Bindi Wear" is prominently featured on the site.

They also have "Steve Lives!" shirts. I'm definitely getting one when we go. My husband wants one, too.

4. very neat kid!

5. Of course, she can't run for president of the U.S.

Anyway, by the time she's 35, the office of prime minister of Australia might be more important.

12. I think she can run for President

Her mom is American, so she has dual citizenship.

6. Out of the mouth of babes. ...

Kids have an insight into so many things all on their own that sometimes awes me.

Like for example, Samantha Smith, who deserves some credit in the matter of international diplomacy with then General Secretary of the Soviet Union, Yuri Andropov. Efforts like these from youngsters should be a point of embarassment to adults who do absolutely nothing for others, especially worldwide endeavors.

7. I love this kid!

:applause:

8. yay, Bindi! Our Aussie president 2030! Go, girl!

9. Good idea on the clothing (saw it in TV ) but

she annoys the crap out of me. Her Mom is really marketing her to the max!

[Subdivisions]

10. I love that little girl and have watched her since she was born.

She is doing a wonderful job taking on her father's legacy.

11. Cool.

Maybe she can wear them to therapy in the next fifteen years or so.

13. Now THAT is one incredible person.

How fantastic to see her already light years ahead of so many adults.

[Annces]

14. Amazing isn't it

She is politically minded too, though I think she obviously still has a child's mind. A child of the future. I think her mother must really nurture her in a way that is perfect for this individual, to already have her eyes wide open and know so much.

15. BINDI FOR PRESIDENT!!!

What a cool kid she is. I look forward to all the good works she will do in her life. What a testament to what a great man and father Steve Irwin was.

17. Love it! "Green is the new black"

[pitohui]

18. i believe she designs that crap like j.lo designs her crap

nothing aga. the child who has to earn since her father has passed away but i've had it with celebs selling a name and being proclaimed the "designer" of stuff we know good and well they didn't design

it's everywhere, from perfumes to tee shirts

only a few get to have a "valuable" name these days, at one time, the person who actually did the work was the designer, now all the "new" designers are ghostwriters for celebrities

19. way to totally miss the point
