Swimsuit Models Protest Kardashian Store Opening

It's rather convenient that when model Joanna Krupa announced her intention to protest the Kardashians' DASH boutique, the entire family fled LA. 

The 32-year-old swimsuit model and fellow bombshell Katie Cleary followed through with their intention of staging an anti-fur protest outside Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian's Calabasas, California based store today. 

However, the sisters were nowhere in the vicinity to be found. 

Instead, they hopped on a plane along with mother Kris and half-sisters Kendall and Kylie for some fun in the Dominican Republic sun. 

The leggy ladies managed to attract a lot of attention, though they couldn't present the sisters with a petition signed by 140,000 people. 

They were joined by comedian Andy Dick, whom they gave a lot of loving. 

They hugged the 46-year-old and joint kiss on the cheek. 

Krupa even lovingly posed with the petition book holding the signatures of those who were opposed to the sisters selling fur at their store. 

Meanwhile, the Kardashians were on the last legs of their Dominican Republic trip, where they have been filming their reality show.

It's easy to see why Kim might not have wanted to be present for the protest, given that she not only loves to wear fur, but was flour-bombed during an initial protest just over a week ago. 

In a statement to RadarOnline.com, 32-year-old Polish American model Krupa said: 'One of the most influential families in the entertainment industry that could help give animals a voice on a large scale are the Kardashians.

'As a fashion-forward family with their clothing line in stores all over the US, they have the power to influence millions of people around the world.'

The group has decided to target DASH after Kim announced her intention to relocate their store to Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood.

She wrote on her blog: 'This weekend Kourt, Khloe, and I all met with designer Jeff Andrews to start working on the new DASH LA store.

'Since we've opened DASH stores in Miami and NYC we decided that we want to re-vamp our west coast store and open a brand new LA location!'

This latest protest comes hot on the heels of Kim's flour bombing by a woman believed to be an animal rights activist last month. Though PETA has denied the woman was working with them, Kim's younger sister, Khloe, has pulled her support from their campaign.  She did not take too kindly to anyone calling her elder sibling a 'fur hag.' I thought it was hilarious, but whatever Khloe...
