Just when you thought the summer school holidays couldn't get any longer, one Australian school has announced it's finishing up next year in NOVEMBER. Yes, November. Cancel Christmas. You'll be too busy organising vacation care.
Meanwhile, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is back, this time with a post-partum Angel. Has motherhood become the ultimate marketing strategy?
Plus, a six-year-old drew a picture of what she wants to be when she grows up and her school turned it into an AI-generated image of her adult self, and the internet is furious. I guess we're outsourcing childhood imagination to ChatGPT now.
And, RIP the humble iron. Apparently nobody's ironing anymore, and Stacey would like to know if we can make that official.
RECCOS:
Stacey recommends an entire city. Brisbane. No notes.
Monz is thriving in middle-age with a stick vaccuum that lives in her carport - the Dyson Konical + Auto Empty Dok
Amelia recommends the Big Boob T-shirt from Adelaide label Blue Sky Day. Finally, a T-shirt that understands ample bosoms.
