Jane Fonda's Mug Shot Madness

If we had a mug shot that good, maybe we'd wear it around, too! From left to right: Jane Fonda's original mug shot; holding a mugshot clutch; wearing a mugshot tee. Photos: AP | Getty Images | x17online.com

She might not be gracing the covers of VHS workout tapes or Vogue anymore, but Jane Fonda still knows how to turn heads.

The 71-year-old actress-slash-activist drew attention to herself when she left Mr. Chow in Hollywood this week donning a baseball tee with her 1970 mug shot on it, as reported in The Daily Mail.

Interestingly enough, it's not the first time this year Fonda has shown a fondness for the photo that resulted from the arrest that occurred in a Cleveland airport nearly 40 years ago when she was falsely accused of drug smuggling (the "drugs" were actually vitamins).

"'I told them what [the vitamins] were but they said they were getting orders from the White House -- that would be the Nixon White House," the notoriously liberal Fonda (note her anti-Vietnam raised fist in the mug shot) wrote on her blog earlier this year.

Around the same time as the blog, she also gave permission to the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention -- an organization she's involved with -- to use the mug shot on T-shirts, mugs and towels to raise money for the charity.

Later on, both Fonda (and Rosario Dawson!) were seen with Fonda's mug shot clutches at red carpet events.

How using a mug shot of Jane Fonda helps prevent teen pregnancy is up for discussion. And we're not entirely sure we would want an image like that of ourselves marketed to the public.

But we're not going to lie -- we kind of want one of the tees!

How brave of her! Why won't 'Hanoi Jane' wear the picture of herself sitting on the NVA anti-aircraft gun aimed at the American troops?

I had been overweight for the past five years. I had tried almost everything in the market, right from taking diet pills to enrolling in a gym but nothing really worked. Yes I did lose a few pounds but nothing substantial. It was then that a friend recommended Acai Burn http://cli.gs/AcaiBurn to me. I have been using the product for about a month now and have slimmed down considerably. I have actually started to wear all those dresses that I had put off for so long. The product is definitely one of the best weight loss products in the market today. I have already finished two bottles of Acai Burn http://cli.gs/AcaiBurn and am on my third bottle now. It totally changed my life! Not only did I lose a lot of weight quickly, I have also never felt more energetic and so full of life!

I found an amazing supplement that contains probably the best combination of ingredients I have ever seen in an antioxidant supplement http://cli.gs/SuperiorResveratrol . It has resveratrol, acai berry, and pomegranate, an incredible combination of super food ingredients. I started taking that about 6 months ago along with an amazing pro-biotic cleanse/detox http://healthydietcleanse.info/ I have been losing weight steadily and I can't tell you how much better I feel throughout the day, everyday. I can't recommend either or both of those enough if you want to reach your optimal weight and health.

HANOI JANE IS AND WAS A TRAITOR AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN TRIED AND CONVICTED FOR GIVING AID TO THE ENEMY !!!~

blair, 7-16-2009, 8:29PM

And that place in hell - should be next to those 2 solicitors above of BS in these chat boards - who were they? - oh yeah, EMILY & FRANOPERAS - may they rest in pieces

She's an ass that should just be ignored.

Bill Sluka, 7-16-2009, 8:41PM

Thank you for the truth - your comment is perfect. I don't think enough Americans know what she did during the Vietnam War. She is the definition of TRAITOR !!!!!

Curt, 7-16-2009, 8:40PM

Amen, Brother

Paulo, 7-16-2009, 9:07PM

Yeah right... this b*&^ch shouldn't have even been let back in the country. Someone aughta kidnap her and drop her of with her communist friends from the 70's ! ! She doesn't deserve to be living in the U.S.A. nor does she deserve to be called an American ! !

Kurt O, 7-16-2009, 9:14PM

Beaucoup Dittos Carly G. Why not that photo Jane? Guess those NVA soldiers that shot me in an ambush got a big laugh out that photo right after they said, " Stupid Americans."

Drude, 7-16-2009, 9:20PM

Because, she may be a treasenous witch, but she's a GREEDY, MONEY HUNGRY treasenous witch!!! Just in case anybody is wondering how her picture will prevent teen pregnancy, I suppose it's the thought of bringing a phony, hypocritical A**HOLE like her into the world will be enough to make teen girls rip their own uteruses out!!!

jesse, 7-16-2009, 9:21PM

Get over it Asshat. God Bless Jane and GDamm that f'ing war! Hang your head in shame for believing that bullsht.

One of my least favorite people in the world. I lost friends and family members in 'Nam and had friends and family members lives forever altered after fighting there. She should have stayed there because for many she'll never be welcome here. Some of us don't forget!

CarlyG I couldn't agree with you more. It is almost criminal that she is allowed to stay in this country after that. It's worse that she has a following of people that think she is great. My only hope is that Karma kicks her ass.

MARIE, 7-16-2009, 9:57PM

THATS HER STATEMENT, LET HER ENJOY IT. WHY SHOULD SHE CARE WHAT ANYBODY THINKS! THATS STANDING UP FOR YOURESELF AND BEING YOURE OWN PERSON!!!

Dan, 7-16-2009, 10:06PM

Right On Carly G!!

Mickie L, 7-16-2009, 10:06PM

Carly I think you need to get your facts about "Hanoi Jane" straight...most of what you have read about her visit to Vietman was not true. Check it out on SNOPES.COM.
