1. JCPenney is going (real) fur-free. Good news for PETA, bad news for fashionistas (or, frugalistas who go to fashion shows). [Gothamist]
2. Too much Botox could lead to depression, researchers in Holland found. Because, surprise, when you don’t register happiness on your face, you’re less happy. We say, DIY with less intense methods – it’s cheaper and you’ll still be able to smile. [Jezebel]
3. White House Social Secretary Desiree Rogers has been wearing a whole lot of black. We respect colorlessness, but think she could use some hints from our LBD Alternatives Guide. [Huffpo]
4. A 17-year-old high school student sued her school for the right to wear a tuxedo to prom, and won. Way to go, anonymous 17-year old – we even like menswear-inspired clothes when they’re not making a political statement. [Shine]
