Conway was speaking to reporters in DC this Monday when she expressed that the proceedings are tearing our country apart, and that’s exactly the kind of divisiveness MLK Jr. opposed. She also said that Dr. King wouldn’t even entertain the impeachment trial because he didn’t envision having “Americans dragged through a process where the president is not going to be removed from office, is not being charged with bribery, extortion, high crimes or misdemeanors.”

Folks took to Twitter to react to her comments with some calling the move disrespectful for mentioning the impeachment on MLK’s day. However, Martin Luther King III did respond to Conway bringing up his father.

While speaking with TMZ, he said that his father definitely would not want to divide the country but adds he would NEVER stand in the way of reprimanding anyone for thinking they’re above the law.

The incident was captured all on camera and shows a woman dressed as a shopper with expensive taste, wearing a fur coat and large sunglasses. The owner of S.M. Diamond Center in the mall told FOX 5 that the woman “came in completely alone, and she acted like she wanted to buy something for her boyfriend.”

The owner said she had her eyes on a Rolex watch that was 14-carat gold and silver with a nearly 1-carat diamond on the top. The total cost of the watch was $4,800! She tried on the Rolex and wanted to try on another but was told that she can only see one at a time. Just seconds later she storms off with the expensive watch while the employee tries his best to alert the owner.

“I immediately ran after her,” he said. “There was a white Mitsubishi parked outside. I recognized the guy.”

He explained that the man inside the car had been at the store with a woman at least twice before looking at those particular watches. He believes she wore the disguise when she returned.

“This is our hard-earned money. We work hard for every single penny and we do not have the insurance to cover this kind of loss,” he said. “I wish that these people would understand we have a family to run and we work every day.”

Cops are now searching for the woman and asking the public to share any information that would be helpful for their investigation.

Salon Owner Defends Work After Michigan Woman Says She Received Botched Microblading

#Socialites, check this out! So a Michigan woman named Shannon Bozell paid $350 for an eyebrow tattooing method called microblading back in October of 2019. The service was provided by Anne Hicks, a salon owner who’s also a microblading artist, who performed the service at Merle Norman in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Bozell explained that she wanted to get her eyebrows microbladed because she had little to no eyebrows after over-plucking them when she was younger. Following her session, Bozell said she was unhappy with her eyebrows as soon as Hicks finished the appointment. She said the microblading brows were too boxy, too dark and ill-suited to her face. Since the appointment, Bozell said she’s cut bangs and dyed her hair to conceal her eyebrows.

“I went from having zero eyebrows to having these monster eyebrows, and it’s hard to swallow,” she said. “They’re big caterpillar eyebrows that don’t fit my face,” WJLA quotes.

Bozell contacted Hicks with her dissatisfaction following the initial appointment. From there, Hicks set up another appointment to pull some of the colors from Bozell’s eyebrows in an attempt to make them lighter to create more of an arch. Bozell admitted that the process was an improvement from what she started off with. However, she said,

“I felt better when I left. I took a few pictures, and they were lighter,” she said. “I did not realize in 24 to 48 hours, I was going to have two very large blisters.”

Despite that, Hicks, who had received pics of Bozell’s blisters says she was not aware that the marks in the photos were actually blisters and couldn’t verify whether Bozell had properly cared for her brows following both appointments.

“I stand by the work that I did when she left, and I stand behind the fact that I told her in detail what the process could be and what the process was,” said Hicks. “She looked like she would have had a normal recovery. She also looked like she had pigment pulled, so that’s two different types of what I see as normal recovery on the brows, and what I see as pigment being pulled,” she said.

Bozell eventually had to look for another artist in the area to start the removal process, which cost about $150 a session, WJLA reports.

As for Hicks, she worried about her business following Bozell’s public post about her horrible experience.
