It's been bugging me for a while; why is fashion icon and international "it" girl Agyness deyn so familiar? Is it the six ID covers? Those style-files sections NW magazine? No, I think it's from that Orange County movie
Golden eggs
Posted 28th Jul 2008 by Katie May Ruscoe
Remember screeching out of the house first thing; skipping around cow pats and breathing morning mist on your way down to the chicken coop and arriving to shoo away the hens and embark on a treasure-hunt for their stash of fresh laid eggs with which you would later make an omelette or something else that requires eggs? Sound like a wistful tales from a childhood memory I'm probably embellishing? Well it's not. Cow pats aside, this is how I imagine my mornings - in fact, everyone's mornings - will play out when our backyards are fitted out with Eco-Coops. This Sydney company manufactures sustainably made chicken coops designed for suburban gardens - and knowing how fond modern folk are of a bit of "try-before-you-buy", also offer a rental package that includes a coop (made from Australia grown pine and recycled pram wheels), two chickens, feed, a waterer and straw. The package costs $360 and can be trialled for up to six weeks; if after that time you decide that chickens aren't your bag you can return the set-up and be re-imbursed $260. The benefits of holding on to your chooks however include regular fresh, free-range eggs (up to six per chook per week) as well as a garden-friendly pet that eats scraps, removes weeds and turns compost. Let us also not forget the innocent feel-good-factor of a daily egg-hunt!

Shit box™ is a lightweight portable cardboard toilet, made specifically for outdoor use. The box pops up from a convenient 14 inch flat pack to a rigid, reusable, comfortable toilet. I would say an ideal item for avoiding the lines at the coming camping festivals.

Stinky signage

In news that surely affirms the advertising industry as "the pits", the marketing team for London deodorant manufacturer Right Guard have devised the above campaign. Christened "pitvertising", the ads herald in a new form of marketing media; one sees groups of "Pitvertisers" take to the streets, the bars and the tube with digital TV screens built into the armpits of their shirts. Hmm not sure if this one will take off, after all, how would a digital screen cope within monsoons found underarm during the Australian summer?
Afternoon exercises

It's that time of day where the brain is getting sluggish and the eyes tired. Just to rub in further how little control we have over the genius mechanics of our bodies, why not give this a go?

1. While sitting where you are at your desk in front of your computer, lift
your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right
hand. Your foot will change direction.

Amazing!!
