Showgirls 2: Shoegirls

Colleen Kane — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 15:15:00 GMT

Apparently in Akron, Ohio there is a classy gentleman's club called Club 1245 that does not discriminate based on age. They recently hired a stripper in her fabulous fifties, and when she showed up for her first day of work, things went horribly wrong.

The new hire was feeling the effects of the recession and took on this new job. But when she entered the basement dressing room for her first shift, police say she was attacked by another stripper. The attacker, a black woman in her late 40s, allegedly struck the victim in the face with a stiletto heel repeatedly.

Lt. Rick Edwards said the other strippers saw the new one as competition, and said they didn't need any more strippers around here.

The victim was taken to the hospital, where she recieved seven staples for the cuts on her face. The victim opted not to make a police report and left the ER before police arrived, but the hospital staff filled in the authorities as required by law in the case of an assault.

What else is there to say here? O-hioooooooooo!

What's Wrong With This Picture? Women Racing in High Heels

Emily Farris — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 16:36:00 GMT

Look closely. A few of our thoughts after the jump.

1) The most obvious is that women are running in high heels, which is both painful and dangerous.

2) This "race" is sponsored by Glamour Magazine.

2) The theme of said race is "shopping is a sport."

4) This does as much for women as the Miss America contest.

We should make it clear that we have nothing against Glamour Magazine, high heels, women, running or shopping (confession: I, Scanner Emily, have a serious shopping problem). Our problem is this particular combination of these things. Glamour, we're a little disappointed in you. Don't you support strong, independent women who make change in the world and stand for something in sensible yet stylish shoes? How about leaving races that trivialize women up to Maxim or Playboy and sponsor a real race for something important? Or at least make men run in heels, too.
