Model nails Sally Hansen
Picture it: you're a model and you're on vacation in a foreign country. You're browsing at a drugstore, minding your own business, when suddenly ... you see your face on a hair removal kit. And a bleaching cream box. It happened to Marina Asenova, a model from Bulgaria who spotted her face plastered all over Sally Hansen products on a recent visit to the U.S. The model says she was never paid for the use of her image, and now she's suing Sally Hansen's parent company, Coty Cosmetics.

The best new blowout?
A salon in Chicago is offering clients a "Cashmere Blowout" -- a $50, 45-minute straightening treatment that couples a texturizing spray with cashmere proteins and results in soft-as-a-baby-goat hair. (You did know cashmere comes from the fine, undercoat hair of goats, right?) Source

Anti-cigarette ads trigger smoking
Bit of a bummer study: the wrong kind of anti-smoking ads may actually trigger the desire to smoke, according to findings published in the current issue of Media Psychology. If the PSA doesn't send a powerful message (say, the image of a former smoker with a tracheotomy or comparing smoking to farting in public), researchers found that weaker messages (think: images of people smoking, or cigarettes smoldering in an ashtray) can cause former smokers to relapse or inspire smokers to light up.
