Poor old pigeons.
If being called ‘rats of
the sky’ doesn’t make
them feel bad enough,
popping their name
into a thesaurus comes
up with words like
‘chump’, ‘laughing-
stock’ and ‘fool’.
It’s time someone
gave those feathery
fellows a confidence
boost. Thank heavens,
then, for French brand
Main Sauvage, who’ve
created an alpaca-
wool soft toy in their
likeness. See, pigeons?
Some of us reckon
you’re pretty cool.

Is it just us, or do cushions
seem to be the new rock ‘n’
roll? It was all sex and drugs
in our day – now we just
can’t keep up. Either way,
Melbourne labelPLAY by

most of this cosy moment of

cushions drenched in happy-
making colours. At $69 each,

Are you in the market for some knickers with an ecologically friendly bent?
Organic clothing aficionados Vege Threads have released a new range of
undergarments that are 100 per cent plant-dyed, and made from end-roll and
scrap cotton as well. Ranging from $39 to $79, they’re a little on the pricey side,
but they’ll certainly earn you some environmental brownie points. (Greenie
points, maybe?) vegethreads.comscrunch time
The nice types at Moon Picnic won’t
stop fooling around with coloured
paper and turning it into cool
stuff, no matter how many adult
responsibilities pile on their plates.
Their latest sweet-as idea? Paper
ice-cream placemats! Use them to
stop dribbles, then scrunch them into
seven scrummy flavours – it’s as easy
as that. Find them in packs of 21 at
moonpicnic.com for around 26 clams.
