Jenny Kee for Designers for TargetJenny Kee is one of the most iconic Australian designers of the century, so it would only be appropriate for Target to invite her to create her own collection for a new Designers for Target range.
From doorstops to dinner sets, the collection has it all and much more within two contrasting styles; Mali Oz pays homage to the timelessness of black and white and the boldness of tribal design, while Opal Oz transports you to a land of vibrant colours and precious gems.
The Jenny Kee Homewares collection will be hitting Target store shelves nationally from October 23.

Is society becoming a little too politically correct?

PC boys' WCWhy is society trying to attain a nirvana-like state of political correctness? It has reached a point where 'ladies' and 'mens' are no longer considered politically correct labels for public toilets!
A university in the UK has temporarily replaced WC signs with PC signs in a bid to make transgender students feel comfortable in the community. The 'gents' has been replaced with “toilets with urinals” and the 'ladies' is now known as “toilets”.

All poo breaks loose!

Complex Shit by Paul McCarthyAll poo broke loose, leaving a trail of broken windows and fallen power lines after inflatable dog poo blew away from an outdoor exhibition.
The artwork Complex Shit by Paul McCarthy lived up to its name after straying from the Swiss Museum.
The work is about the size of an average house and had a safety system which should deflate the work in the event of a storm.
The safety system failed to deflate the artwork, allowing it to blow 200 metres away from where it was restrained and break the windows of a children’s home.
The work is yet to be put back on display.
