Dainty Hooligan Blog Post: Prevent Date Rape With A Special Nail Polish?

 Recently four students from the University of North Carolina have created a nail varnish that will be able to detect if someones drink has been spiked with a "date rape" drug by changing color. This invention has sparked both praise and controversy from critics. Is this nail varnish revolutionary? Depends on who you ask.

According to Newsweek.com, Katie Russell from Rape Crisis England & Wales was critical of the development of this and other "preventative" options against date rape. Why? She states, “Whilst Undercover Color’s initiative is well meaning, on the whole,” she said, “Rape Crisis does not endorse or promote such a product or anything similar. This is for three reasons: it implies that it’s the woman’s fault and assumes responsibility on her behalf, and detracts from the real issues that arise from sexual violence.”

“For us, we work with victims to make them realize that they did nothing wrong,” she added. “Among primary cases, some do ask if they could have done anything to stop it. Products like this suggest otherwise. The emphasis must be placed 100% on the perpetrator.”

While we completely understand that angle, it seems anything that will help prevent rape and the act of blame and emotional recovery afterwords would be supremely beneficial to anyone in the dating scene.

This special nail polish is going under further development and refinement before it's going to be available to the masses. What do you think? Is this nail varnish good or bad? For more information, visit the Newsweek.com article.

Dainty Hooligan Blog Post: Hello, Kitty White?

 It seems everything you assumed about Hello, Kitty was wrong. The Los Angeles Times reports, that Christine R. Yano, an anthropologist from the University of Hawaii, was corrected by Sanrio when she unknowingly made the mistake of calling world famous cartoon character Hello, Kitty a cat.

She apparently is really a little girl, not a cat. Yano says, "I was corrected — very firmly. That's one correction Sanrio made... Hello Kitty is not a cat. She's a cartoon character. She is a little girl. She is a friend. But she is not a cat. She's never depicted on all fours. She walks and sits like a two-legged creature. She does have a pet cat of her own, however, and it's called Charmmy Kitty."

Hello, Kitty is actually named Kitty White and she has a full back story. She is a Scorpio, she loves apple pie, and she is the daughter of George and Mary White.
"She has a twin sister," adds Yano. "She's a perpetual third-grader. She lives outside of London."

Bazaar? Perhaps, but it doesn't make Hello, Kitty any less cute! (The Los Angeles Times)
