Umbrellas and Animal Testing

Most excitingly! Our Glopho umbrellas arrived today! They are wonderful and have a little button on them which expands it so that you don't even have to open it yourself. The world really is encouraging us to get lazier and lazier. 
On the other hand, when I take them for a test run next week in Westminster, If I get into a light-saber fight with a member of the public and their umbrella, I can insta-win by pushing that button and flapping my Glopho flaps into their face. 

See my face holding one of the famous umbrellas here.

Hard and fast. Knock 'em down.
Oh stop it, you've only just started reading. Get out of the gutter.

In other news: Browsing the world wide pleb this morning, I found this rather interesting story
Jaqueline Traide, 24, has performed a re-enactment of the testing animals go through every day in testing-plants---- on herself. 
With the help of an acting lab-technician donning a white lab coat and clipboard, she had irritants sprayed in her eyes and injections.. injected through her skin-tight natural coloured outfit. She did this all in the public eye in a shop window where lots of people gathered, calling and texting friends about what they were watching and taking pictures and videos of the poor, gagged, tied-up girl.

Apparently, if you want people to sign up for your petition- this is the way to do it!

I love her dedication and the fact that the reporter truly believed a lot of the pain she showed wasn't feigned. Scary.

Here's a baby hedgehog to make you feel better. I hope they didn't test cosmetics on it. Or make it cry.
