Take Your Pre-2009 Sigg Bottles Back To Whole Foods NOW!!

Well ain’t this a bitch? We’ve touted and praised our beloved BPA-free Siggs several times on our blog, only to get hit below the skirt with the sad news that Sigg has indeed had BPA in their lining all along!

In a letter from the CEO, Steve Wasik, dated Sept. 1^st, the company verified that the rumors that bottles manufactured prior to August of 2008 do in fact have liners containing bisphenol A – a chemical that may adversely affect human health.

Jen and I have spent a pretty penny on our Siggs. At $20+ for one container, we thought it was well worth the investment for our health and for the environment. We’ve given them out as gifts to several friends and have suggested them over any other brand over and over. Hell, we even mentioned them in a holiday gift list for Dame Magazine. FML!!

See links below for more on the big fib. For now, please note that Sigg is offering to replace your tainted bottle with a new one by sending it in to their headquarters. But eff that! That means you pay for shipping. It’s not stated on their website, but you can also take your Sigg back to any Whole Foods. Hurry up because it ends at the end of this month. No receipt necessary. Just walk on up to the customer service counter, tell them you got juked and would like to exchange yours for a new one.

Below is an example of the different linings. The bottom two with the bronze color lining are the older ones (with BPA.) The top two with the light greenish lining are the newer ones (w/out BPA.) If any of yours match the coloring of the bottom bottles, hightail it to your nearest Whole Foods immediately.

I’m guilty of being a Sigg whore. And I want to thank them for giving it to me in the back door with no lube. Now I gotta go down to the free clinic on Monday and make sure I don’t have BPA cooties. Damn you Sigg and damn your Keith Haring series that you got me hooked on like crack!

And I Thought Paris Hilton Was Bad

This is poodle art and apparently it’ all the craze. Contestants have two hours to pimp primp their dogs out with child safe hair coloring, shears and accessories. According to all the owners, dogs love humiliation attention and don’t mind the prep time or what it takes to be turned into these AMAZING pieces of living art. It’s amazing to me that their dogs tell them so.

Ok, I’m not gonna call this cruelty, but I am gonna call it CA-RAY-ZY. As in the owners of these dogs gotta be bat-shit crazy. You know the type: moms that put their five year olds in pageants to endure fake hair, fake tans, fake nails, Tammy Faye Baker make-up, bedazzled Club Cheeta-approved outfits and endless hours of rehearsing bump-n-grind dances while batoning and never breaking a smile.

Dear Yellow Pages, My Fingers Do The Walking..Online

Please stop delivering this mess to our doorsteps. Most everyone in my apartment complex tosses them bagged, unopened and right into the recycle dumpster. There’s a new kid in town and it’s called the INTERNET!

Thanks.

Lady Gaga Dons Kermit To Denounce Fur

Never one to shy away from being outrageous, Lady Gaga wore this get up during an interview on a German TV show.

Inevitably, the interview took a turn towards Lady Gaga’s unconventional fashion choices in recent European interviews, specifically a coat made up completely of plush Kermit the Frog puppets.

“The Kermit the Frog outfit is by an incredible designer by the name of Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, and he does a lot of museum art fashion pieces,” said Gaga. “I really loved this one in particular because I thought it was commentary on not wearing fur, ’cause I hate fur and I don’t wear fur. We were all laughing at the house because it looks like a pile of dead Kermits.”

Umm..is it just me or does she kinda resemble Janice?

Dear Huffington Post, You’re Doing It Wrong

I go to Huffington Post to get my daily dose of news and to source stories for my own blog in their “green” section. They posted the story about PETA busting Ringling Bros. in an undercover video beating elephants and tigers. HP normally posts about a range of animal issues, but what I didn’t expect to see was a front page ad for a discount on Ringling Bros. tickets.

C’mon Huffpo. I don’t want to be reminded of that video every time I go to your front page to read Buzzfeed. I know, I know, ad dollars, but seriously? Did you all not see what I saw in that 5 minute video below? Bull hooks being brought down repeatedly on those elephants? Looks like animal cruelty to me.

Please do not support the most horrible show on earth!

Can I Put A Bull Hook To The Handlers No-No Holes? F*CK RINGLING BROS!

Sorry about being out of commission since being back. Busy with work and prepping for my next shoot with Coco Eco Magazine.

I was just sent this link from Perez Hilton. Ringling Bros. had their show (arrived the day of the Michael Jackson Memorial) in LA at the Staples Center- they had a 4 day run beginning on July 9th.

When I heard that a few of my friends were going to the circus that week, my stomach knotted up. I tried explaining to them that the animals (especially the elephants) get beat and it didn’t make a difference. How could it if you only see the glittery show side and not what goes on behind those curtains and what they go through while traveling between cities and in their training sessions?

PETA vice president Daphna Nachminovitch said that their undercover agent “witnessed these elephants being beaten for no apparent reason.”

Ringling Bros. said they could not comment on the video because it had not been viewed yet, but they did say that “PETA is an animal rights extremist group…We are very proud of our animal care, we are committed to the care of all our animals partly through our conservation programs at the Ringling Bros. Center for Elephant Conservation…We have 139 years of experience of working with Asian elephants.”

If you support Ringling Bitchasses or any other circus/fair- this is what your money is contributing to.

Disgusting.

FUCK YOU RINGLING BASTARDS!

One pissed off bitch.

I’m Back But Not Really

I spent the better part of yesterday recovering, reminiscing, resting and rehydrating. And then wrapped it up by unpacking penis paraphernalia, learning how to speak again, having someone administer a continuous supply of pho broth to me intravenously and trying to get our weekend bachelorette party theme song outta my head! It’s on repeat and I must make it stop!

Yeah, don’t ask. It wasn’t anybody’s bday and there was no sexin’ going on (wink.) Thanks limo dude for having the best music selection ever.

Be back in full effect manana (I hope.)

Something In The Blood Ain’t Clean

In Nova Scotia, Canada, there’s a problem with tampon applicators backing up the sewer system and overflowing into the ocean (hello ladies, it’s called a trash can and your brain- use them.)

Recently, a Dutch tampon company Libresse thought it would be a great idea to drop thousands of tampons with little parachutes attached to them out of planes and onto 6 popular Dutch beaches. Why? Well, the manufacturer of Libresse wants the females to put a bloody cork in it (literally) and hit the beaches while Aunt Dot is visiting. Seriously ladies. Why let that pesky little crimson tide between your legs stop you from having fun in the sun?

I just wanna thank the cooter plug maker for adding to our pollution problem. Oh and for contributing to that other thing- when birds and aquatic animals mistake plastics for food, eat them and choke to death..yeah, your marketing scheme was pure genius. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is just a joke right? Well I saw it on Oprah so it must be real!
