What is it about Starbucks that attracts people who dress like this? The good news is that if her fishnets threaten to fall down she has a bunch of safety pins with which to hold them up. They are all safely stashed in her earlobe.

Our favourite Whole Foods is selling these bird houses. Apparently a pair of nesting birds thought them of good quality, because they built a nest and hatched a family in one! There were four of these houses altogether, and we noticed that Whole Foods had quickly taped over the holes of the other three!
