Heidi Klum & Coty took over the Empire State Building on Thursday to promote blood cancer awareness.

The stunning supermogul showed off her famous legs 1,200 feet above New York City in a tight polka dot dress and snakeskin Christian Louboutin heels.

When she wasn't playfully posing for photographers Heidi made sure to plug the great cause on Twitter:

"What a beautiful view of New York City from the top of the Empire State Building!! 'Lighting the Empire State Building red in honor of DKMS. #FightBloodCancer"

Bravo!

Not a bad way to look in a fight of any kind!

Uh Oh! Gel Manicures Could Cause Cancer

Filed Under: Nails

gel manicure

When you put your hands under those UV lights to dry your amazing gel nails, you could potentially set yourself up for cancer!

Turns out, the time required to set the gel (10 minutes) is longer than the standard mani's time and that kind of exposure to UV radiation could potentially be dangerous.

According to a 2009 medical journal

The Color Pink Might Not Help Causes

Filed Under: Etc.

1pink-might-not-be-the-best-color.jpg

This can’t be right… Who knew the color pink wasn’t that popular?

A recent study published in the Harvard Business Review reveals that the pink ribbons used for Breast Cancer Awareness might not be all that effective simply because of the color.

The color pink is a gender cue which can trigger a "defensive response" among women.

The study reports:

“When women wrote an essay about gender, just 42% of them said they would donate to ovarian cancer research. When they wrote a gender-neutral essay, 77% did. And those who saw a pink ad about breast cancer were significantly less likely to say that they’d contract the disease than those who saw an ad with neutral colors. We thought, “This can’t be right.” So we kept running studies.

We looked at the effects of gender cues on women’s recall. We put breast cancer banner ads on a website we showed the subjects but never mentioned them. When the site was geared to women, 33% of women recalled the ads. When it was gender-neutral, 65% remembered. It’s been three years, and we have duplicated the same basic finding 10 times. It keeps happening.”

Though to be clear, the study found that it’s not the color itself but the fact that the color is a gender cue that triggers the response.
