Random Fashion: Levi’s And Cram Jam Chest Make Denim Doggy

Leonora EpsteinJanuary 25, 2010 //

Have you ever heard of Cram Jam Chest? Us neither. From the looks of their half-in-Japanese website, they make stuffed art. In any case, they’ve teamed up with Levi’s to make a series of puppies made out of denim for the Levi’s store in Shibuya, Japan. Is this a good way to recycle jeans? These denim doggies are mighty cute … but not sure we’d put down for a stuffed animal. (No one can ever replace Winkie, the all but destroyed teddy bear you won’t admit to keeping under your pillow).

Tai Shan The Panda Being Deported To China

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comJanuary 4, 2010 //

2010 is gonna be good. Like, really, really good. But it’s starting off on a sad note if you are a lover of panda bears. Tai Shan, the adorable panda bear born in the Smithsonian Zoo in Washington, DC, in 2005, is being extradited to China. Because even though he was born on American soil, he ain’t a citizen—China lends out its giant pandas to zoos around the world with the agreement that if the bears do the humpty dance and have a cub, the baby is theirs. Tai Shan was supposed to be shipped back to the motherland two years ago, but officials were able to stall until now. The little big guy will be taking off any day now. Sigh. [Examiner]

A controversial documentary called “Pedigree Dogs Exposed,” about the dark side to pure breeding of dogs, airs tonight on BBC America. This morning on “Today,” they showed a clip from the film, focusing on how pure breeding of Cavaliers has resulted in many of them having a painful genetic disease where their brains are too large for their skulls.

An Incontinent Beaver Gets An “Early Show” Correspondent In the Eye

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comNovember 16, 2009 //


Being an “Early Show” correspondent must be kinda rough. In addition to having to wake up hours before the sun, you have to have big hair and a huge smile plastered on your face at all times, except when you’re delivering a sad story, at which point you have to assume serious face. Oh, and there’s the threat of a beaver accidentally peeing in your eye. Seriously, watch the clip above. [Newser] Keep reading »

Chimp Attack Victim Shows Her Face On “Oprah”

Susannah BreslinNovember 11, 2009 //

In February, 56-year-old Charla Nash was severely mauled by a 200-pound chimpanzee. Today, she appears on “Oprah” to talk for the first time about the ordeal that left her tragically disfigured. The chimp, Travis, was highly domesticated; he had appeared on TV commercials, enjoyed a diet of lobster, steak, and ice cream, and brushed his teeth with a Water Pik. But for unknown reasons, he suddenly viciously attacked Nash, a friend of his owner. After the incident, Travis was shot dead, but Nash lost her eyes, nose, lips, and hands. Although she remains in the hospital, she talked about her life after the attack. “I don’t ask a whole lot about my injuries. I know that I have my forehead,” she tells Oprah on today’s show. A clip is here, but it’s very graphic. You’ve been warned. [Oprah] Keep reading »

Chlamydia Is Killing Off All The Koalas

Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comNovember 11, 2009 //

If you’re anything like me, you dream of someday visiting Australia and hugging a koala bear. (And not having it bite your face off, cause that would be a nightmare.) Well, according to the Australian Koala Foundation, you may not get the chance—the koala population has been cut in half over the past few years, and in another 30, they might be fully extinct. So what’s happening to the eucalyptus-loving cuddlies? Chlamydia. Yes, it’s not just Sam the Koala who tragically died from the STD—there’s been a full-scale outbreak, and you try telling koalas to use condoms. Deforestation and global warming aren’t helping. Chant it with me: Save the koalas. Save the koalas! [BBC] Keep reading »
