PETA HAS TURNED ON THE KARDASHIANS

Kim Kardashian can’t do anything right lately. She was publicly doused with flour and labeled a “fur hag!” by an animal activist who protests the fact that Kim flaunts fur. Now she says she’s planning to sue the flour tosser (who had nothing to do with PETA) and PETA has stepped up and volunteered to pay for the flour demonstrator’s legal defense. It’s all the stranger because PETA foolishly paid Khloe Kardashian to strip for one of their “Fur? I’d rather go naked” billboards and the event was prominently featured on “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” in 2008. Despite that, the Kardashians started peddling fur in their DASH boutiques and ignored PETA requests to stop. Obviously, PETA should give more thought to the spokespeople they choose to hire for their billboards.

$10 KARDASHIAN WATER IS A HOT SELLER AT DASH STORE

We were curious about how the Kardashians’ DASH store is doing in New York, but they haven’t been forthcoming with any sales figures. There’s no doubt the Soho shop attracts crowds – mostly young teens with their mothers. They have a burly security guard to keep order outside like a club doorman. The odd thing is that once these Kardashian fans get inside the store they can’t find much to buy. The shop has been described as looking more like a “set” than a functioning store and the racks of high priced glitzy clothes are sparse. Most customers have been observed leaving empty-handed, although quite a few spring for the $10 Dash bottled water as a souvenir.

WILL NEW YORKERS GO FOR THE SEXY KARDASHIAN FASHIONS AT DASH?

The whining Kardashian sisters Kim and Khloe visited Spring Street in Soho, where they’re planning to open their new DASH retail store and E! cameras followed, so naturally a crowd gathered. We wouldn’t be surprised if E! is financing this shop for them. The question is: will New Yorkers take to their sexed-up, flashy styles? Soho has always been one of the hippest shopping areas in the city, so it remains to be seen. Both sisters are carrying big Hermes bags, so of course they have bodyguards. Perhaps to please the cameras, the girls stopped at an ice cream truck for triple cones with sprinkles.
