Even in the excitement of Design Week in Brussels I was still a tad surprised to find this refreshingly frank garment in the window of a boutique in the ultra-bourgeois district of Uccle.




From LA-based artist and animator Lili Chin’s Dogs Of The World series – a project started in 2008 to help fund the Boston Buddies dog charity. for whom she’s already raised over $13,000 with 800 portraits.

From yesterday’s Sunday Times, Justine McCarthy wrote about the Children’s Ombudsman’s report on alleged physical and sexual abuse at a Co. Kilkenny primary school.
In March 2011, the administration office for the [Stay Safe] programme told the ombudsman’s office it had not provided training at the school since 1993.
The school’s child-abuse prevention policy, which was reviewed in March 2002 and applied at the time of the alleged abuse states: “The Stay Safe programme has been approved by the board of management as a teacher’s aid to be used in accordance with the Catholic ethos which demands that the law of God and of the church, and not the child’s feelings, be the guiding principle.”
In 2006, the year the abuse allegations began, a questionnaire was sent to all schools to determine how Stay Safe was being implemented. Had there been any difficulties in implementing it? The school replied “yes”, saying it had “examined it and use only what staff, parents and board deem suitable to [their] ethos“.
There you go now.
