Okay, so either the stage manger on the set of Lipstick Jungle was not familiar with fashion-borrowing etiquette or he just needed some cash-ola. Arthur Moreira was just arrested for allegedly plundering the shows fashion closet and selling the items online. Designer Sylvia Toledano's employees got wind of his scam when they found several items they had lent to the show on eBay. The police set up a full-blown sting operation to catch Moreira that involved buying the stolen items at his apartment. Items stolen included sequined mosaic clutches, an Oscar de la Renta snakeskin bag, and Gucci coats. Now I can't say I blame poor Art, times are hard, and with good shows being cancelled (Cashmere Mafia, Dirty, Sexy, Money) who knows when his next job would have been.
