Women Shopping With Large Shoulder Bags Are Often Treated Like Shoplifters

A recent study showed 89% of the women polled, who carried large shoulder bags, were treated like shoplifters by store personnel.

While female shoplifters typically carry large purses to hold what they intend to steal, all women who carry large purses are not thieves.

Nevertheless, loss prevention personnel are trained to spot certain attributes of potential shoplifters; and carrying large purses into a store is a loss-prevention training detail.

In 2010, out of 100 shoplifting complaints where police were called, 83 resulted in lawsuits against the complaining business. 71 of the 83 ended in settlement payouts of undisclosed amounts. All cases involved women who carried large purses while shopping.

Some women asked whether they should just carry a wallet inside places where they shop. Others protested saying it was not fair to them to have to inconvenience themselves to satisfy retailers' paranoia.

Being the 'Mistress' of a Billionaire Isn't As Glamorous As It May Seem

The wife has spoken and the mistress has to give it all back. At least that's the ruling of a judge who heard arguments in the bold and bizarre case of the 80-year-old billionaire and his public philandering. It's fair to say being a mistress isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Billionaire and former owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, Donald Sterling, was an indirect focus of another controversy.

This time his mistress, V. Stiviano, was the 'defendant' in the complaint, in which Mrs. Sterling contends Stiviano seduced her 80-year-old husband, manipulating him into giving up community property that the couple earned over the course of their marriage.

According to the report, the judge sided with Mrs. Sterling, ordering Stiviano to surrender several luxury cars, including a Ferrari, $800,000 in cash handouts, and she had to vacate a $1.8 million duplex.

Love & Hip Hop Hollywood is turning out to be a 'ghetto glamor' series where 'over-made-up' women act a fool before the world. Monday's September 29 Episode 3 confirmed it for viewers.

Who ARE these people? And WHY are they on TV? Because we like watching them.

Why Are You So Insecure?

Romance is sweet.

Love and happiness are pure bliss. But what happens to it?

After a few months of romance and a taste of bliss, something or "someone" goes wrong.

Suddenly, romance, love, and happiness are not enough. Or is it too much?

At the risk of sounding one-sided, I would venture to say it's usually the man who tires of the relationship.

New love and romance are like a "drug binge" for most men (not all, but most).

They spend weeks at a time absorbing each other's breath and feeling each other's heartbeat, nothing else. Then when they burn out, they have to "get away" from each other, much like an addict burns out on a binge, and then he has to go somewhere and sleep for a week.

Atlanta Exes, September 22, 2014 Didn't Disappoint

If you started out watching "Atlanta Exes" from its debut, then you know the show didn't disappoint tonight.

In fact, it had somewhat of a "classy" air about it...until the "ghetto" surfaced--and I don't mean that in a negative sense.  As we say, "It is what it is."
