Handbags at dawn 

A catty fight. Derives from the more traditional "pistols at dawn", but with the selection of weapon implying that the participants are of the weaker sex. Works especially well if they're actually male.

"Dave and Bill just couldn't agree on which boy band was their favorite. Before we knew it, things got out of hand and it was time for handbags at dawn!"
