More Fashion Ads Banned From The UK

The British Advertising Standards Authority is at it again. Just this week we told you the agency banned the Marc Jacobs fragrance ads for Oh Lola! featuring the lovely Dakota Fanning.

Those ad apparently depicted Miz Fanning appearing too young with a large perfume bottle between her legs which was considered to be “sexualizing of a child”.

Now they’ve gone and banned ads from British clothing line, Drop Deap, calling them “socially irresponsible” for featuring a model they deem too thin. According to their statement: Read the rest of this entry »

Peaches Geldof Caught Stealing! No Police Report Was Filed!

We’re not sure why rich celebs feel the need to steal, but Peaches Geldof is at it again!

The British socialite and model was caught shoplifting makeup this past Friday from a branch of Boots the Chemists.

The 22-year-old was spotted by undercover security placing over $100 worth of makeup into her pockets and bags before heading out of the store.

She was caught by security as she tried to leave and taken to a back room where she handed over the stolen goodies. And while most would have called the police to report the incident, Peaches was let go.

Woman Banned From Abercrombie For Buying Too Much Merch

This is ridiculous!

Abercrombie & Fitch banned a loyal customer because, wait for it, she was purchasing too many clothes.

Umm and that's a bad thing?

It all went down after Kim Navarra placed a $200+ order online only to receive an email telling her it was canceled because they assumed she was reselling their merchandise.

To add insult to injury, the preppy retailer said they wouldn't accept any future orders from her to protect their intellectual property rights.

Wow.

Once the story was picked up by a local news station, Abercrombie realized Kim was actually buying the clothes for herself and allowed her to make the purchase.

A&F also stated she was only banned from making online purchases and could have used the card at one of their stores.

The UK watchdog group ruled Julia Roberts Lancôme ad and Christy Turlington's ad for Maybelline can't be used because they're misleading.

Wait a minute.

They banned these two, but not Kate Winslet's ad?

Ridiculous!
