MOTHER OF FOUR 'TOO OLD TO WEAR SKIMPY OUTFITS': A 28-year-old woman in Worcester, England said she has been banned from all three nightclubs in her town because she is "too old to wear skimpy outfits." Lisa Woodman said she only gets a chance to go out once every few weeks and that normally she hits a bar with her 32-year-old sister Sarah before they go dancing at one of the nearby clubs. But the last few times she tried to go out, Woodman says she's been turned down. Her sister said that they're "always polite" to the bouncers but always get the same response -- "You ain't getting in tonight girls." Lisa said the last time she was turned down was New Year's Eve, when a bouncer told her, "You're too old to wear that get-up." The mother-of-four said, "I just want to be treated with a bit of respect." Dean Hill, a director at one of the nightclubs said they have a "responsible door policy" and a dress code of "smart casual." Hill continued, "At the end of the day, it's private premises and we reserve the right to refuse entry for anyone." (Daily Mail)

PETA UPSET OVER SPIDER-SPUN CAPE: A one-of-a-kind gold cape that took four years -- and one million spiders -- to make, is on display at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. The cape is made from spider silk -- a material spun by a rare species of spiders from Madagascar. One report detailed the process: "The spider is clamped by a sheet of wood with a half-moon aperture for its abdomen. In each hand-powered contraption are 24 females (they are always female). Handlers pull and spool strands from each spider's multiple spinnerets. A gossamer thread is made from 96 twisted strands." A PETA spokesperson said the process is like "factory farming." The spokesperson said, "[Using] silk that the spiders would normally have used to catch insects to feed themselves is as bizarre and unappealing as it is anti-environmental." (Shine.com)
