How SITSgirls Changed the Tip Junkie
Once upon a time, five girls who had a passion for blogging united and formed the crazy named company, Chic Chick Media . After two years of working together, Skyping, E-mailing, Twittering, Blogging, creating a text ad widget , and becoming Social Media Mavens they were finally able to meet in real life at Bloggy Boot Camp in Phoenix . Me, Kim , Cindy , Heather and Tiffany – the Chic Chick Media girls I was stoked to finally meet Kim from Today’s Creative Blog and Cindy from Skip to my Lou with whom I have a fondness and just adore working with.

U.S. Global Exotics Defunct, Former Owner a Federal Fugitive, New Footage Released!
Here’s a beautiful—and lifesaving!—sight for the millions of animals who suffered at the hands of owners and employees of the international animal dealer warehouse formerly known as U.S. Global Exotics, Inc. (USGE): © Don Feare Yep, that’s right—just months after the PETA Files first gave readers a tiny glimpse into PETA’s investigation of USGE, the multimillion-dollar business is closed, the filthy warehouse is up for sale, and USGE’s former owner, Jasen Shaw, is on the lam! A federal arrest warrant is out for Shaw, alleging violations of the Lacey Act, a federal wildlife protection law enforced by the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service

First She’ll Take Manhattan …
To be honest, I haven’t really cared about the outcome of a beauty pageant since watching Olive compete in the “Little Miss Sunshine” contest. But after learning that Miss New York USA Davina Reeves is vegan , that’s all changed

Celebrate Summer With Music Festival Style
Coachella may have come and gone but the summer music festival season is just starting. With Sasquatch in Washington, Bonnaroo in Tennessee, Glastonbury in the UK, and Lollapalooza in Chicago just to name a few, deciding what to pack can be quite nerve wracking.

Furriers Tell Enviro-Fibs
Apparently, furriers who push their pelts as “green” think that we were all born yesterday. Members of PETA and Concordia Animal Rights Association (CARA) along with our favorite hockey star, Georges Laraque , teamed up outside the North American Fur and Fashion Exposition of Montréal (NAFFEM) yesterday to set the record straight: CARA-ful! That fur is toxic! Claims that mink coats and fox-fur hats are eco-friendly couldn’t be further from the truth .

The Really Low-Down
Bravo to the good folks at CBS 5 in San Francisco for running with a chilling Swedish investigative report on the down industry . In case you think that the down filling in coats and pillows is gathered by a kindly farmer who just follows molting birds around all day and fills a sack with their lost feathers, here’s an eye-opener: An investigative team from the Swedish TV show Cold Facts went undercover on goose farms in Poland, Hungary, and China and videotaped workers yanking fistfuls of feathers out of live birds, a process that a veterinarian contacted by CBS 5 described as “torture.” At one farm, a worker is shown using a needle and thread to sew a goose’s skin back together after the skin had been ripped apart during plucking. Makes that down comforter seem less comforting, doesn’t it?

Label Love: Quail Does Vintage For The Modern Girl
Quail founder and designer Michelle Nguyen Williams finds inspiration for her eclectic line just about everywhere — her fashionable BFFs, vintage finds from thrift stores, busy LA living — and is able to find beauty in just about all aspects of life. This results in a line designed for the modern girl who is one part fabulously glamorous, one part down-to-earth casual, 2 parts colorful and quirky, and just a tad nostalgic

Look Here, San Antonio …
Forget the Alamo; There’s something else for Texans to remember—the imprisonment of Tilly the orca : Today, PETA’s billboard went up near SeaWorld San Antonio to remind Texans not to mess with marine mammals. Our plea to free Tilly and other captive wild animals comes on the heels of last week’s congressional hearing about marine abuse ment parks, to which PETA submitted testimony urging a ban on the confinement of orcas and other wild animals at SeaWorld and other profiteering prison-parks.

Hot In The Hive: Cheri Bento Box
When it comes to preparing for lunch at work, usually I… well, don’t. As much as buying take-out every day burns a whole in my wallet, sometimes I’m just too lazy in the morning to do anything but dress myself and down my mandatory 2 cups of coffee before I hit the road.

Pamela’s Breathtaking Moves
Barely stopping to catch her breath after a sizzling Argentine tango on Dancing With The Stars ( DWTS ), Pamela Anderson—accompanied by her dance partner, Damian Whitewood—headed to the Canadian Consulate in Los Angeles today to hand-deliver her letter to Gary Doer , the Canadian ambassador to the U.S., detailing her concern that the Canadian government is subsidizing the seal slaughter .

Spilling It re Oil and Meat, ‘Plane’ and Simple
Officials are scrambling to contain the beyond-massive oil spill that’s headed for the Gulf Coast and its wetlands and wildlife areas. At times like this, I know it’s popular to blame big business, and that’s fair enough.

PETA’s Dog Park Gets Two Paws Up
PETA’s Bea Arthur Dog Park (named for the eternally fabulous Golden Girl ) has everything that dogs love: a big, grassy lawn for rolling and romping, a bin filled with toys to chew and chase, a water station, and an easy-access ramp into the Elizabeth River for dog-paddling to their hearts’ content!
