Paris Drag Queens on a Rampage!
Citizens in the City of Lights are clutching their Cartier just a little tighter this week in the wake of one of the world's costliest jewel heists, orchestrated no less by a couple of drag queens.
A Parisian news agency reports that four individuals with "male voices" dressed in wigs, skirts, stuffed bras and heels, pranced into the Harry Winston boutique and held the place up. It must have gotten ugly at one point, because one of the lovely ladies actually had to bonk an employee on the head with her pistol before they could get to the display cases.
When the dust settled, they waltzed out with over $100 million worth of diamonds, necklaces and watches. Interesting enough, none of the homos working next door at Luis Vuitton saw or heard anything, so it's obvious the drag queens were feeling o.k. in the purse department.
Does the name Harry Winston sound familiar? That's because he's the bloke who donated the infamous and supposedly cursed Hope Diamond to the Smithsonian. The jewelry company also has quite a catalog of celeb customers, including Liz Taylor, Madonna and Queen Elizabeth II. All the more reason why they probably hit that place first!
We'll keep you posted on any future multi-million dollar jewelry heists these busty bandits manage to pull off.
