We wish this wasn't real, or hopefully was just a major typo, but unfortunately, China has a BUEBELLY store!

China is known for selling an array of bootleg goods, but it's one thing when they're sold on the streets and another when a knock-off store is created! EEK!

The illicit retailer is located in Shenzhen, China and is clearly imitating the luxury brand Burberry! We're just in complete awe and disgust over this terrible store!

Last month, counterfeiters were prosecuted for selling fake Burberry merchandise, and the luxury retailer was awarded $100 million!

Hopefully Buebelly will be reproached and taken down soon!

UGG Australia has scored another mayjah victory in their ongoing battle with online retailers selling fUGGs!

A judge recently awarded Deckers Outdoor Corp. $686 million from two lawsuits filed against more than 3,000 China-based websites hawking the counterfeit UGG products.

The funds were seized through hundreds of financial accounts held by the counterfeit sites, including PayPal, which is a big deal in and of itself since it's nearly impossible to collect from overseas merchants.

Judge Ronald Guzman also granted Deckers a permanent injunction against the fake domains, meaning they can fire off notices of contempt to defendants via email if they find they're conducting shady business elsewhere on the net.

You've been warned fUGG sellers!

EEEK!

Not sexy! Super creepy-crawly and (probably) horrifying against the skin!

In next week's America's Next Top Model episode, the girls jet off to Macau, a "special administrative region" connected to China, and have to pose in pretty silk dresses along with their ensemble's origin species - silk worms!

Oh Tyra Banks, you SLAY us with these "creative" challenges …

We wonder who will try and worm their way out of this one! HA!

Supermodel Natalia Vodianova is on the defensive after the media misconstrued her "it's better to be skinny than fat" comment she made last weekend.

As most celebrities tend to do, the Russian beauty posted an explanation on Facebook and she had A LOT to say.

Natalia writes:

I guess the reaction of the press is expected to be negative when I said it's better to be skinny then to be fat at the Vogue Festival this past weekend. However on the background of arriving from China where most people leave under the poverty line and have to share food and watch how much they eat to survive and on the background of how I grew up where sometimes I had to skip meals so there would be food for my little disabled sister and that feeling of missing bread so much some days because on some days we had no money to buy any (reason I had ulcers as little girl was constant irregular eating) could give an explanation why I felt moved to give another prospective on this issue.

But wait, there's more! Read Miz Vodianova's entire post…AFTER THE JUMP!

No this isn't a picture of boutique, it's a sneak peek of the contents in Victoria Beckham's suitcase!

On Friday the designer shared two full racks of clothes she brought along to China on Facebook:

“Just arrived in Beijing and finished unpacking!! X Victoria”

Absolutely RIDIC!!

Maybe she can lend one of those 30+ dresses to Anna Wintour, since it seems she has NOTHING to wear!

Glorious news!

China's State Food and Drug Administration has recently released a draft proposal approving the use of animal testing alternatives.

Having spent twelve months on research of alternative testing, Beijing Technology & Business University's Professor Zhao Hua acknowledges that animal welfare and protection is becoming more and more popular with the development of the economy.

So logistically speaking, it only makes sense to move past dated methods of testing.

Another diligent researcher behind the movement is Anthony James. CU Hong Kong's head of Laboratory Animal Services states:

"Cosmetics are by and large not a medical product saving lives. It’s not a need, it’s a want. There has to be a higher bar set for animal testing for cosmetics and it shouldn’t be permissible at all where there are alternatives."

Well said!

Words can't express how encouraging it is to see the world of beauty take a more progressive route all over the world!
