Hairstylist Leaves Client World's Most Racist Voicemail

An objectively horrible and undeniably racist New York City hairstylist named Marina Vance called a no-show client and left her what must be one of the nastiest, most racist voicemails in the history of telecommunications. Vance said, in part:

“I’m sure you’re a fucking nigger, ah, who doesn’t care for anybody’s time, alright? I wish, you know what, please, that you don’t show up for your appointment, ah, which is coming. Tifany with an ‘F,’ a fucking nigger, next time, or or a fucking Dominican bitch.”

The client, a woman named Tifany McIntosh who had been set to enlist Vance’s services for her wedding day (she says she missed a preliminary appointment due to a family emergency, not that it matters because did you see that voicemail), took a racial discrimination case to the NYC Commission on Human Rights. Somewhat unsurprisingly, McIntosh won. (In fact, the hairstylist — who seemed to have such a problem with people who can’t keep appointments — didn’t even show up to the hearing.) The bigoted stylist, whose name again is Marina Vance, will likely have to pay a $22,500 fine. [NYTimes]

The actress who plays Alexis Davis on General Hospital touched off a controversy when she Tweeted that the show’s costume director had been turned away from a Vera Wang bridal boutique in Los Angeles with the admonishment, “We don’t do television and definitely not DAYTIME television.” The actress Tweeted disparagingly about Vera Wang 17 times. The costume designer, Mary Iannacone, says, “Our audience, they claimed, was not their targeted market. Never once did I ask to borrow any gowns from Vera Wang. Our intention was to purchase, NOT borrow, so it was insulting to be treated like I was asking for hand outs.” Iannacone says the employees at the store told her to go to David’s Bridal. An anonymous source at Vera Wang HQ says the company would “love the exposure” of being on General Hospital and that the soap opera never in fact reached out. [Styleite]

The bankruptcy administrators have received over 160 letters from angry suppliers and unions representing companies and suppliers who haven’t been paid.” [WSJ]

“‘My name’s Chris, I’m 16 and I’m single,’ said a confident Chris Rodriguez as he got down on one knee. ‘Will you marry me?’“
Spoiler: Tyra says no. [NYDN]
