Woman Cracks Restaurant Manager's Skull With Louboutins!

Not only are Louboutins pretty to look at, they're also a weapon! Don't believe us?

Just ask the general manager of Jasper's Corner Tap & Kitchen in San Francisco who spent the weekend in the ER after being clocked on the head with one of the red-soled shoes.

Kitson Accused Of Mislabeling Real Fur As Faux!

After successfully winning a lawsuit against Neiman Marcus and Saks, the Humane Society is going after Kitson for lying about their fake fur use.

In a laboratory analysis, the animal-rights organization discovered three items being sold on the retailer's website contained fur from a coyote, gray wolf and raccoon dog.

Awful!

Since learning of the discovery, Kitson quickly removed removed the items from their site and issued a statement apologizing for "incorrectly listing the fur content on its items."

Kitson went on to add they will "work diligently and vigilantly to ensure content is correctly listed in the future, conducting additional research when information is omitted on products."

We certainly hope so!

Your Non-Toxic Nail Polish Might Be Toxic After All!

Tim Tebow and Kim Kardashian may wanna skip the MANis and pedis!

The Department of Toxic Substances Control reports several nail polishes found in salons that claim to be "non-toxic" do in fact contain harmful chemicals.

The dangerous substances known as the "toxic trio" includes toluene, DBP and formaldehyde have all been linked to serious illnesses such as asthma and may even cause birth defects.

Although they are potentially harmful, the use of the chemicals is legal if properly labeled, but agency officials say false labeling violates a state law that requires disclosure of harmful chemicals in products.

The agency also noted that poor ventilation in salons tested were a factor in exposing workers and customers to harmful chemicals.

Because of these workplace health issues, some cities around the nation such as San Francisco and New York are taking action by passing laws to increase safety for workers and customers at nail salons and recognizing salons who choose to use products that are free of the toxins with a “green seal” stamp of approval.

The California attorney general's office is looking into the matter and will decide if DTSC's findings will be met with legal actions which can include fines and a law requiring retailers to attach warning labels.

That's great news! Glad to hear the state is moving in the right direction!!

Andrej Pejic Drops The N-Bomb On Twitter

Andrej Pejic had the Twitterverse buzzing last week when he casually dropped the n-bomb in a tweet.

The androgynous model's racist tweet was in response to accessory designer Rembrandt Duran:

"But you went without me *sigh* RT @Andrej_Pejic: Take me to Westchester!

@Remdelarem found a real white nigga"

Andrej hasn't addressed or deleted the tweet, but we have a feeling it will mysteriously disappear before too long.

Thoughts???
