Anti-vegan chef launches clothing line against activist

Chef John Mountain has taken his feud with vegan activist Tash Peterson to the next level by unveiling a clothing line that names and shames her and her animal rights beliefs. The Perth chef, who has taken legal action against Ms Peterson after the pair tussled during protests at his restaurant Fyre, showed off the provocative range of tank-tops, t-shirts and hoodies on his new merchandise website. The merch page, which was launched on Saturday, promises customers will love the clothing “hopefully more than Tash loves chef”. It is now selling clothing that carries the restaurant's branding and slogans such as “Pleased to meat stew”, “no animals were harmed in the making of this shirt” and “all they have done is added fuel to the Fyre”. One t-shirt design features a half-star Google-style review graphic with the words: “Absolutely f***ing chaotic Tash Peterson”, which makes fun of Ms Peterson's description of a protest and the flood of Fyre reviews posted by vegans. Another design asks. “What's the difference between a vegan and a heroin addict? The vegan keeps it to themselves.” The clothing line comes after John Mountain announced all vegans would be banned from his restaurant due to “mental health reasons”. Mountain and Peterson have clashed several times at the Perth eatery, with Peterson’s latest demonstration resulting in legal action being taken against the staunch vegan and animal rights activist. After Peterson <a href="https://oversixty.com.au/finance/legal/furious-chef-lets-loose-after-clash-with-vegan-protestors" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stormed</a> his booked-out restaurant with other activists in tow, they stood outside with a megaphone, while shouting and playing sounds of squealing pigs, moments before the altercation was caught on camera. Mountain and Peterson came to physical blows as he wrestled them out of the restaurant, as he defended his choice to retaliate against the protestors, saying he chose to stand up to the bullies to "protect my business". "Bullies come in all different shapes and sizes and these lot just happen to be the vegans." Image credits: A Current Affair / Fyre

FA Cup attendee arrested over "disgusting" Hillsborough shirt

A man has been arrested over the “disgusting” shirt he chose to wear while attending the FA Cup Final. The garment, which appeared to refer to the 97 fans who lost their lives in the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, saw 33-year-old James White face charges over “displaying threatening or abusive writing likely to cause harassment, alarm, or distress”. The shirt featured the number 97 in a large font on the back, with the text “Not Enough” sprawled above it. The 1989 tragedy occurred on April 15, when almost 100 people - consisting mostly of Liverpool supporters - were killed in a crowd crush at Hillsborough Stadium during an FA Cup Semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. A further 766 people were injured. Widespread attention was first brought to the offensive shirt when one Twitter user called for the “absolute clown to be identified”, asking how “97 people dying” had become “fair game”. “Get this man’s face spread across social media ASAP,” another urged, “he needs to face repercussions.” His image quickly made the rounds, with hundreds calling him out for his insensitive actions, and consequently White was arrested during the match. The Metropolitan Police Events Twitter confirmed the news, sharing an update to their account that explained they had “worked proactively” with Wembley Stadium officials, and that the man had “been arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and taken into custody.” <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ARREST?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ARREST</a> | We are aware of this and have worked proactively with officials at <a href="https://twitter.com/wembleystadium?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@wembleystadium</a> to identify the individual. He has been arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and taken into custody. <a href="https://t.co/PNVzEhKzgZ">https://t.co/PNVzEhKzgZ</a> — Metropolitan Police Events (@MetPoliceEvents) <a href="https://twitter.com/MetPoliceEvents/status/1665029777676173320?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 3, 2023</a></blockquote> And in a statement from the FA, a spokesperson declared that the organisation “strongly condemns the actions of the individual who wore a shirt referencing the Hillsborough disaster”. They went on to note that they had seen the photo on social media, and worked quickly to identify “the perpetrator”. “We will not tolerate abuse relating to Hillsborough or any football tragedy at Wembley Stadium,” they said, “and we will continue to work with the authorities to ensure strong action is taken against perpetrators.” Later, photos from the moment of his arrest were posted, with the Hillsborough Survivors Support Alliance tweeting that “this [should] be a warning to anyone else thinking of doing anything similar. And that goes for using ANY tragedy”, alongside an image of White surrounded by police officers. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Let this be a warning to anyone else thinking of doing anything similar.

As they pointed out as well, “the game had nothin' to do with @LFC so what’s his motivation to commit such a disgraceful act!!!” “It’s utterly disgusting and disgraceful that someone even printed it on the shirt for him!” one user agreed in the comments. “I got banned yesterday for sharing this photo with some swearing on…I seriously hope he gets what he deserves”. “It’s absolutely disgusting,” another said. “I hope he gets what’s coming to him. I’m a Newcastle fan and I’ve been to a field and have laid flowers down and stood for a while thinking of those that sadly lost their lives that day. I’m disgusted beyond words. My love and thoughts go out to all”. Images: Twitter

Woman steals artwork then WEARS it back to the museum

A 72-year-old French woman has been arrested after stealing an art installation from a museum. Catalan artist Oriol Vilanova exhibited a blue jacket filled with postcards visitors could remove and examine at the Musée Picasso in Paris. However, the elderly woman took the interactive exhibit one step further by taking the entire jacket and walking out with the garment. The woman returned to the museum a few days later wearing the jacket, which she had tailored to fit her properly. She was arrested by the police upon her return, who happened to be at the museum collecting evidence at the time. While in custody, the retiree – who was reportedly “passionate” about art – confessed immediately to taking the jacket, according to local news outlet Le Parisien, but claimed she did not know it was an artwork. After hours of interrogation, the public prosecutor’s office let the woman off with a warning and dropped the case. According to Le Parisien, the woman had been placed under guardianship. The artwork, titled Old Masters, involved filling the pockets of a blue jacket with postcards depicting artworks by major figures in art history. At the Musée Picasso, the jacket was filled with postcards purchased at flea markets and museum shops, all with images of Picasso’s work. “When the museum told me the work had been stolen, I was surprised, but it was impossible to envisage the story that followed,” Vilanova told Artnet News.

Unusual car seat mistake that leaves your child in danger

With winter just around the corner, parents have been warned to not strap their child into a baby seat if they’re wearing a puffy jacket. Tiny Hearts Education founder, former paramedic and mum Nikki Jurcutz explained that the puffy jacket leaves space between the child and the seat belt which makes it dangerous. “As the temperature outside drops, we start to rug up. One of the best things I've found to keep my little ones warm is puff jackets, and I see so many kids wearing the same thing,” she wrote in an informative post on Facebook. “But if you're going to use a thick jacket like that, there's something that it doesn't go well with: A car seat.” She went on to explain how despite thinking you have strapped your child in safely, the space is dangerous when in an accident. “When your bub is wearing a thick jacket and put in the car seat, you'll tighten the strap to remove the slack,” she continued. “Thick jackets often trap air amongst the layers and feathers inside the jacket, so in an accident, the jacket compresses, creating excessive space between bub and their car seat straps. “This excessive space means they may not be held securely in the car seat, which increases their risk of injury in a crash.” Nikki went on to offer suggestions on how to ensure children are safely seated and strapped in the seat while wearing a jacket. “To test if a jacket is too thick to wear in a car seat, put bub in while wearing the jacket and tighten the slack like you normally would [remember: to check your harness is tight enough, you shouldn't be able to pinch any of the strap between your thumb and pointer finger]. “Then take bub out of their car seat without loosening the harness, then put bub back in the car seat. If you need to tighten it, the jacket shouldn't be worn in the car seat.” Otherwise, some alternatives to a puffy jacket can be: pre-warming the car before putting bub in, dressing bub in long-sleeve, using socks and singlets for extra layers, add blankets on the outside of the car seat. For older kids, try putting them in the car seat first, then put the jacket on backwards over their arms on the outside of the car seat straps. Image: Shutterstock

Would you wear a t-shirt that could listen to you?

Since we ditched our ancestral fur and became ‘naked’ apes some two million years ago, fabrics have been central to human life. For most of their history, developments in <a href="https://cosmosmagazine.com/news/wearable-tech-style/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fabric technology</a> have centred around novel fibres and increasing production capabilities. But a new era of fabric technology has begun. Motivated by the ubiquity of fabrics, and their intimate proximity to the human body, a team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US, has taken fabric research in a mind-boggling new direction, developing fabrics that can ‘hear’ sounds. Publishing in Nature, the researchers <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-022-04476-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">describe their development</a> of a fabric yarn interwoven with an electrical, or ‘<a href="https://cosmosmagazine.com/technology/three-minute-thesis-piezoelectric-energy-harvesting-human-movements-will-power-smartphones/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">piezoelectric</a>’ fibre. The resulting fabric has ‘hearing’ capabilities, using a mechanism similar to that of the human ear: the fabric medium plays the part of the tympanic membrane, converting pressure waves at audible frequencies into mechanical vibrations, which can then be processed into electrical signals. Only a small quantity of the specialised piezoelectric fibre is needed to make fabric acoustically sensitive. A single fibre can be used to generate tens of square metres of fabric microphone, which is then capable of detecting even very weak sound signals, such as human speech. Outside of fabric research circles, the drive to develop t-shirts that can listen to you may seem baffling. But the researchers say this transformation of fabrics could have exciting and far-reaching consequences, with uses ranging from law enforcement to monitoring heart health. For example, the researchers trialled a shirt design that incorporated multiple fibres woven into different positions on the body, using the time delay between signal detection to allow the direction of incoming sounds to be pinpointed. They say that such a garment could be useful for police officers to narrow down the direction of a gunshot, or for individuals with hearing aids to listen in specific directions while removing background noise. And there are more potential uses for those with hearing difficulties. With simple modifications, the fabric can be made to broadcast audible sounds as well as detecting them, facilitating communication between deaf individuals when both are wearing the fabric. Two-way communication garments could even let us talk to each other underwater. Draped across the skin of your chest, the fabrics could also capture cardiac signals – turning your shirt into a stethoscope that could potentially monitor your heart and respiratory condition in a comfortable, continuous and long-term manner. And importantly, the fabric is still easy-care, able to withstand being chucked in the washing machine at the end of a long day of listening.  <img id="cosmos-post-tracker" style="opacity: 0; height: 1px!important; width: 1px!important; border: 0!important; position: absolute!important; z-index: -1!important;" src="https://syndication.cosmosmagazine.com/?id=185469&title=Would+you+wear+a+t-shirt+that+could+listen+to+you%3F" width="1" height="1" data-spai-target="src" data-spai-orig="" data-spai-exclude="nocdn" />  <div id="contributors"> <a href="https://cosmosmagazine.com/technology/materials/fabric-technology-fabric-that-can-hear-sound/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">This article</a> was originally published on <a href="https://cosmosmagazine.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cosmos Magazine</a> and was written by <a href="https://cosmosmagazine.com/contributor/jamie-priest" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamie Priest</a>.

Peng Shuai T-shirt scandal puts Tennis Australia in hot water

Australian Open organisers are at the centre of even more criticism over their handling of spectators with items asking “where is Peng Shuai?”. Tennis Australia (TA) has <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.news.com.au/sport/tennis/australian-open/tennis-australia-destroyed-over-peng-shuai-tshirt-scandal/news-story/cb7c1678360dd16a87bbf8e996924083" target="_blank">stood by</a> its decision after footage emerged of security and police requesting a fan remove her shirt calling for the Chinese tennis player’s fate to be addressed. Ms Shuai gained worldwide attention after she “disappeared” following a post she shared on social media containing allegations of sexual abuse against a former high-ranking member of the Chinese Communist Party. Though she has since been seen <a rel="noopener" href="https://oversixty.com.au/news/news/missing-tennis-star-makes-public-appearance" target="_blank">in videos and photos</a> shared by Chinese state media, many have expressed concerns that those were staged and activists have questioned whether she is able to act freely. The video of the scene at Melbourne Park ended with police saying TA was permitted to confiscate any material referencing Ms Shuai. A TA spokesperson told News Corp Australia that the organisation feared for Ms Shuai’s safety, but that fans were not allowed to make political statements with clothing at the Australian Open. “Under our ticket conditions of entry we don’t allow clothing, banners or signs that are commercial or political,” the spokesperson said. “Peng Shuai’s safety is our primary concern. We continue to work with the WTA (Women’s Tennis Association) and global tennis community to seek more clarity on her situation and will do everything we can to ensure her wellbeing.” <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Interestingly, journalists can ask questions about the Peng Shuai situation to players, but fans, seemingly, aren't allowed to.... <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AusOpen?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AusOpen</a> <a href="https://t.co/SCqNlH2bOx">pic.twitter.com/SCqNlH2bOx</a> — Matt Walsh (@MattWalshMedia) <a href="https://twitter.com/MattWalshMedia/status/1485052235251957760?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 23, 2022</a></blockquote> Drew Pavlou shared footage online of his friend Max Mok and another person being asked by security about their clothes - including shirts which said “Where is Peng Shuai?” - and later by police. Mr Mok slammed the TA’s reaction, telling <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.theage.com.au/sport/tennis/tennis-australia-confiscate-where-is-peng-shuai-shirts-banners-at-open-20220123-p59qi2.html" target="_blank">Nine newspapers</a> it was a hypocritical decision. “I can remember him (the security guard) saying over and over that he had been instructed by someone higher up to confiscate (the Peng items),” Mr Mok said. “On top of that, he also kept saying - and I don’t think this was in the video - but he kept saying he had eyes and ears everywhere, you can’t hide, things like that. Who exactly am I hiding from? “He said someone found it political and reported it, but couldn’t say who. “I would be surprised if someone at the ground reported us.” Mr Pavlou also spruiked a GoFundMe page to print more “Where is Peng Shuai?” shirts, revealing on Twitter that it had amassed nearly $6,000 in donations. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Wow, in less than 24 hours we have raised almost $6000 to print a thousand “Where Is Peng Shuai” shirts to hand out for free at the Australian Open women’s final. <a href="https://twitter.com/TennisAustralia?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TennisAustralia</a> good luck keeping your $25 million corporate sponsorship from China <a href="https://t.co/BN9oi6mPdl">https://t.co/BN9oi6mPdl</a> <a href="https://t.co/iNiVxDrwP8">pic.twitter.com/iNiVxDrwP8</a> — Drew Pavlou For Senate (@DrewPavlou) <a href="https://twitter.com/DrewPavlou/status/1484846760669638660?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 22, 2022</a></blockquote> Mr Mok said the TA’s treatment of him was hypocritical considering its claims that Ms Shuai’s safety was its “primary concern”, and hoped that more people would follow their lead and show their support for the tennis star. “Hypocrisy is an understatement. It’s not sincere, and it’s just a way for them (TA) to avoid a PR disaster,” he told Nine. “You can see that from the huge amount of support that we’ve got from the public. If we had less support, this could have gone very wrong. “If Tennis Australia is serious about the movement, they’ll let people in (with Peng-related items). Time will tell which side they’re on. “Regardless, it’ll be a good message to send not just to Australia, but internationally. Imagine a whole court filled with ‘Free Peng Shuai’ shirts?” Many have shared their criticisms of the organisation online, while some have pointed out the double standard between spectators and journalists with questions about the missing player. “Interestingly, journalists can ask questions about the Peng Shuai situation to players, but fans, seemingly, aren’t allowed to,” journalist Matt Walsh wrote. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> I get if a hotel says 'No thongs', asks you to leave and then calls the police if you don't because the police can see that you're wearing thongs.

I don’t think the police can look at a ‘Where is Peng Shuai?’ T-shirt and just as easily tell that it’s a political statement.” Multiple players have been asked about Ms Shuai during the first week of the competition, with Aussie star Ash Barty saying she hoped she was doing OK. “Hopefully it’s not too long until we see her back out here,” Barty said. When asked whether she was concerned that something “sinister” was at play, Barty said she didn’t have the knowledge to answer. Belarusian Victoria Azarenka, who is a member of the WTA Player Council, also spoke about Ms Shuai, saying the association’s main goal was to hear from her personally, while Japan’s Naomi Osaka said she hadn’t heard any news either. “I’m not sure if that’s concerning or not,” she said. “I feel like it’s a situation where we need more information, which is definitely really hard. Kind of, I think everyone’s waiting.” Image: @CaraMia200 (Twitter)

Donald Trump Jr selling T-shirts mocking Alec Baldwin shooting

Image: Getty Donald Trump Jr is using Alec Baldwin’s recent tragedy to mock the actor who skewered his father on Saturday Night Live. Selling for $US27.99 is a T-shirt that reads “Guns Don’t Kill People, Alec Baldwin Kills People” on a merchandise site linked to the former US President’s son. <img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7845083/new-project-1.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/0d810f5a26ac459a9c7d1b2e645fc2b4" /> Image: Shopdonjr This was of course in reference to last week’s incident during which cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was hit by discharge from a prop gun while working on the set of Baldwin’s new film Rust. Baldwin, the film’s star, was handling the weapon from which the fatal shot was fired. The movie’s director was injured too. Trump Jr’s merchandise platform also sells shirts that read “My God, My Family, My Guns & My Freedom.” The 43-year-old is a vocal gun advocate who frequently poses with firearms and posts photos of animals he’s killed. Last year, he hosted an Alaskan hunting trip to raise money for Safari Club International. Other right-wing pundits also teed up on the Baldwin hunt after Hutchin’s death. Commentator Candace Owens accused Baldwin of the “murder” of “innocent people”, which she later corrected. Republican lawmaker Lauren Boebert and Republican Senate Candidate JD Vance took to Twitter to mock Baldwin, with the latter asking that the former president be reinstated on Twitter so he could address his former tormentor. These comments drew fire from his Democratic rival in Ohio, Tim Ryan, who tweeted “Someone died, you a-hole.” Even Fox News host Janice Dean urged Vance to take down his tweet. Baldwin's impression of former president Donald Trump on SNL angered Trump, who questioned the long-running program's legality in a 2018 Twitter rant about "unfair news coverage". Trump and Baldwin feuded on Twitter in March of that year with the 45th president claiming the actor's "dying mediocre career" was revived by his impersonation of the commander in chief. Trump was banned from the platform following the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol. Baldwin tweeted his feelings of "shock and sadness" following Thursday’s shooting and said he was cooperating with investigators. He had reportedly been told the firearms was "cold". According to a new affidavit, Baldwin was training his pistol on a camera when the shot was fired from his gun. Joel Souza, the Rust director, reportedly claimed Baldwin was rehearsing a "cross draw" at the time of the killing. The filmmaker said he was looking over Hutchins' shoulder and heard "a whip and then loud pop" before the two of them were struck. Hilaria Baldwin, the 63-year-old actor's wife, tweeted her sympathies for Hutchins, her family and her own husband as well. "My heart is with Halyna," she wrote Monday on Instagram.

Kmart version of $170 winter item sends shoppers into a frenzy

The discount department store recently revealed a line of puffer jackets as part of its autumn/winter '21 collection ranging from $20 for kids sizes to $49 for a longline women's version. <blockquote style="background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);" class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-captioned="" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/CN4HyCEnZ_1/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="13"> <div style="padding: 16px;"> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;"></div> <div style="display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;"> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;"></div> <div style="background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;"></div> </div> </div> <div style="padding: 19% 0;"></div> <div style="display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;"></div> <div style="padding-top: 8px;"> <div style="color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;">View this post on Instagram</div> </div> <p style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;"><a style="color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;" rel="noopener" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CN4HyCEnZ_1/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading" target="_blank">A post shared by Amys Fashion Finds (@amys.fashionfinds)</a> </div> </blockquote> It is also the first ever clothing item from Kmart to be made from 100 per cent recycled polyester. “We’re pretty excited with this season’s launch because it has got a lot of sustainability product through the mix of our offer,” Natasha Smith, Kmart’s Divisional Merchandise Manager, told news.com.au previously. “In particular one of our longline puffers has got 100 per cent recycled poly content from reclaimed material.” The jackets have proven to be incredibly popular with shoppers pointing out it was already "sold out online". Shoppers have taken to Instagram to share snaps of themselves donning the jackets, with one woman writing: “I’m glad there are options for me to keep warm but stay stylish.”

Make your own mask from a tea towel, t-shirt or vacuum bag

The worldwide coronavirus pandemic has led to a shortage of protective face masks, leading to a number of online tutorials on how to make your own using items found around the house. Homemade masks offer significantly less protection than the N95 medical masks, which are made of a thick, tightly woven material that fits over the face and can stop 95 per cent of all airborne particles. And while many health organisations have recommended to ditch the masks unless in a medical setting, there is a good reason to think DIY masks could be effective in tackling the pandemic. They’ve been used extensively in countries such as Hong Kong, Mongolia and South Korea – places that have the disease largely under control. The World Health Organisation also does not recommend that people without the illness wear the face mask, but they’re looking at reversing their decision due to evidence from Hong Kong that it may be effective in fighting the virus. Here’s how you can make your own at home using a kitchen towel What you will need: <ul> <li>Kitchen towel</li> <li>One tissue</li> <li>Masking tape</li> <li>Elastic bands</li> </ul> Method: <ol> <li>Cut both the paper towel and tissue in half and apply masking tape on each end to make sure the mask is stiff.</li> <li>Punch holes through either end of the mask and thread the elastic bands through the holes.</li> </ol> Your mask is ready in two simple steps. How to make a face mask with a t-shirt A tutorial by YouTuber Runa Ray shows how to make a face mask with a t-shirt, no sewing required. What you will need: <ul> <li>Scissors</li> <li>Pencil</li> <li>Ruler</li> <li>Unwanted t-shirt</li> </ul> Method: <ol> <li>Cut out a 16" by 4" rectangle from the middle of the t-shirt, then fold it in half, and measure four inches on either side.</li> <li>Mark the t-shirt with an even number of tassels on each side and use scissors to cut them.</li> <li>Turn the t-shirt inside out and separate the corner tassels, but tie the remaining ones in-between.</li> <li>With the remaining t-shirt material cut some ear straps using the hem of the shirt. </li> <li>Attach the straps to the remaining outer tassels and you have yourself a face mask, with no sewing involved, and using an old t-shirt.</li> </ol> How to make a face mask from vacuum cleaner bags What you will need: <ul> <li>Vacuum bag</li> <li>Paperclip</li> <li>Two rubber bands</li> <li>Stapler</li> </ul> Method: <ol> <li>Cut the bag into a rectangle.

“Mahalo ScoMo” Hawaiian shirt added to National Library archives

After Scott Morrison infamously went on a Hawaiian trip during the unprecedented bushfires that gripped the nation, his “Mahalo ScoMo” shirt was created in response to the ordeal. Now, that shirt has been immortalised forever, after the creator donated one of the Prime Minister-patterned shirts to the National Library of Australia. The button-up shirt features dozens of hibiscus flowers, a print which is commonly featured on tropical themed clothing. However, this one comes with a twist, as their stamens were emblazoned with Scott Morrison’s face, complete with a smug smirk. Australian menswear company MR. KOYA designed the shirts, with all proceeds from their sales going directly to the NSW Rural Fire Service. Unsurprisingly, it didn’t take long for the shirt to gain traction and go viral on social media, with over 1000 Aussies being quick to snap up the limited made-to-order shirt, raising $35,891 for firefighter relief. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> Recording season 15 of <a href="https://twitter.com/bondirescuetv?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@bondirescuetv</a>, and once again I'm saying "It's the hottest summer on record" in the opening segment. ⁠ ⁠ To honour this harrowing occasion, I'm wearing the <a href="https://twitter.com/mrkoya?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@mrkoya</a> "Mahalo ScoMo" shirt - an ode to our PM's leadership skills.⁠ … <a href="https://t.co/DipS7JteAN">https://t.co/DipS7JteAN</a> <a href="https://t.co/wOllol223x">pic.twitter.com/wOllol223x</a> — Osher Günsberg (@oshergunsberg) <a href="https://twitter.com/oshergunsberg/status/1224918660663386114?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 5, 2020</a></blockquote> Now, following the incredible response, the shirt has entered one of the country’s largest collections of cultural ephemera to join other items of significance gathered during the bushfire crisis. MR. KOYA co-founder Yema Akbar said the design was a huge success, with one new Australian planning to wear the shirt during his citizenship ceremony. “It wasn’t quite ready in time. We weren’t sure how the shirts would be received, but we’ve been thrilled with the overwhelming reaction,” said Mr Akbar. “We are privileged to be part of the formed collection of ephemera on the bushfire crisis. “The support received has been truly inspirational and is a testament to the larrikin spirit of Australians, digging deep to have a cheeky laugh.” The shirt will be housed in the library’s Special Collections Reading Room.

Father adorably interrogates his daughter after returning home with a classmate’s jacket

A little girl, 3, was sweetly questioned by her father after she came home with her classmate’s jacket on. Mila, who lives in North Carolina, is seen in the video wearing a pink and grey jacket that she bought for “five monies” from the “jacket store”. Her father, Ehab Rahman, continued to question Mila about where it came from after Mila’s mother Ranya spotted it in her backpack after school. Ehab told <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/clarissajanlim/this-little-girl-came-home-from-school-with-a-new-jacket?bftwnews&utm_term=4ldqpgc#4ldqpgc" target="_blank">Buzzfeed News</a> about the incident. “So as soon as I saw it I was like, ‘OK I have to have this conversation with her’. “And that's when I pulled her to the side and I started interrogating her.” <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"> so mila came home from school today with a random jacket <a href="https://t.co/bAnBo3NOUf">pic.twitter.com/bAnBo3NOUf</a> — آيه (@samaraa0) <a href="https://twitter.com/samaraa0/status/1189728296969392129?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 31, 2019</a></blockquote> The clip shows Ehab questioning Mila about where the jacket came from. “Where did you buy it from?” Ehab asked. Mila sweetly replies: “From the jacket store.” Her father then asks: “And how much did you pay for it?” to which she replies: “Five.” When her father asks her what she means, she says: “Five monies”. Eventually Mila’s father realises that the jacket isn’t hers and says that they have to return the jacket to who it belongs to. “Okay I think we have to return this jacket because I don't think it's for us,” he says. “I don't think it's for you. Mama didn't buy it for you, I didn't buy it for you.” Her father also mentions that the jacket is “too small”. Mila protests and says that it’s hers. “It's not too small, it fits me!” Mila’s aunt shared the clip on Twitter, explaining the situation. “So Mila came home from school today with a random jacket.” She added: “The jacket belonged to a girl in her class and we were fairly sure the entire time - the questioning was just funny! “We were confused why she would say Connor because we knew it did not belong to him!” She added: “And secondly, for those asking, Mila gave back the jacket to the girl in her class this morning with absolutely no fuss and the Mom thought it was hilarious (I hope this shows that speaking to kids calmly and like they’re adults is important).”

The $35 Kmart fashion bargain that will keep you warm and cosy this winter

Winter has kicked off with a very chilly start! Staying warm this time of year can be a tricky task, especially when the clothing you’re wearing doesn’t shield the cold as well as you’d like, or keep the wind chill at bay. But good news! Kmart has released a bargain puffer jacket that’s making the sudden cold snap somewhat bearable. For $35, you’re able to stay warm and look stylish as you do so. It’s a quilted nylon jacket that has a funnel collar, elasticated sleeves and ample pocket space. The puffer jacket also offers a fleece lining that’ll work hard to keep the chill out so you can relax or adventure around your neighbourhood. It is available in the men's section and comes in two colours, which are black and khaki – so you can buy one for you and one for your partner. <img style="width: 0px; height: 0px;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7827381/kmart-puffer.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/d66bbae37c38447ca789c627ac7a24bb" /> The price point is one of the more attractive features of this puffer jacket, as other designer jackets can set you back between $130 to $400. After a long day of keeping the cold out, you’ll be pleased to know that this jacket is also machine washable, according to instructions that you can find on the care label. As this puffer jacket is a steal, it’s selling out quickly with Kmart stores across Australia being low in stock of this item. So, get in quick to make sure you don’t miss out!

Can you spot what's wrong with this shirt?

Slogans and logos are quite tricky to design – as the <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.oversixty.com.au/travel/domestic-travel/obscene-slogan-promoting-nt-sparks-outrage/" target="_blank">NT tourism campaign</a> shows, with a slight oversight, the intended message can truly be lost in translation. And another business has fallen victim to this blunder, as its uniform has gone viral on the Internet for its questionable-looking slogan. A picture that has made rounds on social media platform Reddit showed a worker’s shirt with the slogan “click. pick. delivered.” – which appeared to be the tagline of delivery start-up Runnr. However, due to the font and letter spacing, many observers find that the text could be read as “d**k. pick. delivered.”. <img style="width: 500px; height: 281.25px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7826462/dpdfull.jpg" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/2a5bfe013aa54be28dff21ec53b31fa6" /> Source: <a href="https://old.reddit.com/r/keming/comments/biihjw/nice/">u/sovietmetalhead, Reddit</a> In one of the posts featuring the picture, a user wrote, “Imagine having to wear this for your job.” “Is it a lewd photo delivering service?” another commented. One quipped, “Dress for the job you want, not for the job you have”, while another chimed in, “I refuse to believe that this was not at least partially intentional.”

Retailer mocked for T-shirt mistake

A supermarket giant has been criticised after a customer spotted a grammatical error on the retailer’s Father’s Day T-shirt. The angry shopper took to <a href="https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/3275585-To-think-Asda-need-a-kick-up-the-arse-for-this?pg=1" target="_blank">Mumsnet</a>, to rant about the misplaced apostrophe on the $7 shirt. The shopper explained that they were annoyed over the “errant apostrophe” in the word “Dad’s”, which should’ve read “Dads”. <img width="425" height="568" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/7819192/1.jpg" alt="1 (154)"/> “I do think large retail chains ought to have someone checking their products for spelling, punctuation and grammar,” the user wrote. “I’m sure most parents would prefer it if their children were not exposed to such errors, given that they’ll be tested on them all the way up to A level …” Another user revealed her plans to show the photo of the shirt to her Year 5 English class. “I’m 95% sure they will know what’s wrong with it straight away.” One Mumsnet user suggested Asda should employ a proofreader, while another posted on their social media accounts to call the supermarket out on their mistake. "I've posted x2 on their FB page and tweeted them, I'll revisit and keep at it when I've got a minute and report back if I get responses," the user wrote. "Join in anyone?" An Asda spokesperson told Fabulous, “We dropped the ball here, and not the apostrophe, which was a mistake.”

Sam Armytage’s blistering response to man who criticised her outfit

Yesterday morning, a photographer from Queensland posted a picture on Twitter comparing Samantha Armytage’s outfit to the “pirate shirt” worn by Jerry Seinfeld in his hit show Seinfeld. Peter Wallis posted his tweet after seeing Armytage in the shirt on Sunrise. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <a href="https://twitter.com/sam_armytage?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@sam_armytage</a> watching Seinfeld last night? <a href="https://t.co/gVgxPOspRg">pic.twitter.com/gVgxPOspRg</a> — Peter Wallis (@petewallisphoto) <a href="https://twitter.com/petewallisphoto/status/989267006288379904?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 25, 2018</a></blockquote> An unimpressed Sam sent a tweet to her 174,000 followers explaining the significant reason why she wore the shirt on TV. “How did I know there’d be a ‘pirate shirt’ comparison today? It’s actually the @witcheryfashion #whiteshirtcampaign for @OvarianCancerOZ. But thx for your feedback,” she wrote. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Witchery White Shirt Campaign in support of the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF). During the campaign, 100 per cent of gross proceeds from the shirts sold go to OCRF. The campaign is a fundraising success, raising more than $10 million for the foundation throughout the past 10 years. The campaign also raises awareness around the statistic that a woman dies of the disease every 10 hours. This is not the first time Armytage has received criticism in the last month, with protestors <a href="http://www.oversixty.com.au/entertainment/tv/2018/04/protesters-highjack-sunrises-live-commonwealth-games-coverage/" target="_blank">appearing in the background of Sunrise</a> on their Commonwealth Games set on April 10 on the Gold Coast. The protest followed a Sunrise segment on Aboriginal adoption, that some believe descended into “blatant racism”. The protestors, standing on the Gold Coast beach backdrop, screamed at Armytage, saying they were “coming for her in her dreams” and that they were going to “write a letter and get her fired”.

Just how much David Koch’s controversial jacket at Carols in the Domain cost

David ‘Kochie’ Koch’s dress style lit up social media last night as he hosted another successful Carols in the Domain last night. The 61-year-old sported an outlandish red and green floral suit jacket, a stark contract to his co-host Mark Beretta's traditional white tuxedo. And you won’t believe just how much the jacket is worth! The Joe Bananas Australia blazer cost a whopping $16,500. <img src="https://media.apnarm.net.au/media/images/2017/12/18/imagev16e068e278ac2e62df7ce1781cda167e4-5oxl8ocqjri6eh34gp2_t460.jpg" alt="David Koch at carols in the domain last night in Sydney.

Thanks Joe Bananas Australia for the incredible jacket. Very special," he wrote. Another post said: "For those who are interested Joe Bananas Australia, whose jacket I'm wearing, is an Australian business which has been going 30 years. It's such a great success story in a really tough industry. "Their secret is to be creative and unique. Their clothes are like a piece of art." Kochie was joined by Samantha Armytage, Natalie Barr and Mark Berretta at the event which was attended by thousands of people and families.
