Hairdresser has her fringe chewed off by her guinea pig

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After a tipsy night out, hairdresser Gara Sullivan decided to lay down and have a cuddle with her guinea pig named Dixie. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After falling asleep with the small critter, the 29-year-old from Kentucky woke up and made a horrifying discovery when she looked in the mirror. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dixie, the three-year-old pet, had nibbled off a chunk of her fringe! </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Initially, Gara was concerned about the wellbeing of her cheeky pet, wondering if Dixie would become sick after swallowing clumps of hair. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Luckily, she then found her detached hairs sitting next to a very guilty looking guinea pig, realising she had chewed them off and just left them.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gara shared the hilarious situation with her social media followers, with many joking that Dixie was merely planning to make her own “guinea-wig”.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other commenters, including Gara, agreed that the naked guinea pig was simply jealous of Gara’s long locks. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gara said, 'She doesn't have any hair - it's like she's jealous of mine. She has a little hair on her nose but that's it, other than that she's completely naked.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“She'd had quite the meal, it was crazy. I take naps with her all the time but if I'm drunk, my boyfriend will create a little bed on the floor for me because he knows I like to snuggle with her.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I fell asleep and when I woke up in the morning, I went to the bathroom, looked at myself in the mirror and my bangs were gone.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gara has had to rearrange her hair to make the tuft of hair not show, as she worries the hair will take at least six months to grow back. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For now, the hairdresser has vowed to end her little sleepovers with Dixie, unless she has a few too many drinks and feels like a cuddle. </span></p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Image credits: TikTok / Instagram @garasullivan</span></em></p>

"You need to be quiet": MP with fringe COVID views taken to task

<p><span>Government backbencher Craig Kelly has come under fire after being told to be quiet on national television in an interview with <em>Today</em>.</span><br /><br /><span>Pressure is mounting on the government to rein in the MP for undermining the country’s pandemic response.</span><br /><br /><span>Mr Kelly has been accused of promoting debunked coronavirus remedies, and questioning the need for a vaccine.</span><br /><br /><span>He’s also been slammed for spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories about Covid-19.</span><br /><br /><span>Labor has fiercely gone after the Liberal MP for his controversial words.</span><br /><br /><span>Appearing on <em>Today</em> on Wednesday morning, Mr Kelly said he was “very disappointed about the Labor party making this a partisan issue”.</span><br /><br /><span>He went on to defend his numerous posts on social media that he claims were peer reviewed studies pushed by “experts”.</span><br /><br /><span><em>Today</em> host Allison Langdon was quick to refute the broad claim.</span><br /><br /><span>“That’s not true, Craig,” she said. “I spent some time online last night and I managed to debunk every one of your theories. They’re not peer reviewed.</span><br /><br /><span>“Don’t you need to pull your head in?” she asked the Liberal member.</span></p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr">"You need to be quiet." <br /><br />Allison Langdon SLAMS Liberal MP Craig Kelly over his unfounded and inaccurate comments about COVID-19. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/9Today?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#9Today</a> <a href="https://t.co/Vudxqcqzw8">pic.twitter.com/Vudxqcqzw8</a></p> — The Today Show (@TheTodayShow) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheTodayShow/status/1356718211081904134?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 2, 2021</a></blockquote> <p><br /><span>Mr Kelly’s main theories claim the use of hydroxychloroquine and another drug ivermectin to treat Covid-19 – one of his only causes that has had minor support in the medical community.</span><br /><br /><span>He referred to Emeritus Professor Robert Clancy of the University of Newcastle on the issue, and claimed the drug combination could be used in conjunction with a vaccine.</span><br /><br /><span>Australia’s Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly has previously said however that there is “no evidence” the drugs should be used in Australia.</span><br /><br /><span>He also suggested the MP’s views in general were “not scientifically based”.</span><br /><br /><span>The interview between Langdon and Kelly quickly turned into a shouting match after Kelly promoted a Covid study pushed by a Bangladeshi plastic surgeon.</span><br /><br /><span>Kelly defended his position that enforcing children to wear face masks is tantamount to child abuse.</span><br /><br /><span>“When you read the science, it says it causes them harm,” he said.</span><br /><br /><span>Langdon fierily shot back: “Craig, we have seen deaths from Covid, we've seen sickness. We've seen mass job losses, hundreds of billions of dollars spent in government stimulus, all our hopes are riding on a vaccine,” she said.</span><br /><br /><span>“You need to be quiet.”</span></p>

Adelaide Fringe festival caters to the vision-impaired

<p>For the first time ever, vision-impaired and blind people had the chance to touch and feel the floats and costumes before the Adelaide Fringe Festival parade last night. &nbsp;</p><p>The parade, which kicked off the festival, consisted of 80 colourful floats and flocks of performers. It’s a spectacle that vision-impaired people had not been able to be part of but organisers hope that the “touch tour” would help the vision-impaired visualise the parade when they listened to it.</p><p>“It's really important because otherwise you wouldn't see anything or know what's happening,” Gloria, a vision-impaired student, told the ABC.</p><p>“It's better to have a feel because then you know what it's like instead of just hearing music,” added her friend Courtney.</p><p>Both student said that the touch tour helped them have a better idea of the parade.</p><p>“The majority of people who have a vision impairment lose their sight, so they've had sight before,” said Gaelle Mellis from Access2Arts who helped organise the touch tour.</p><p>“They might have really enjoyed going to the theatre or the Fringe parade, for example, and they think that they can't do that anymore, that that's closed off.</p><p>“What audio description does, because it's actually describing the visual elements it actually opens that experience up again.”</p><p><em>Image credit: Adelaide Fringe Facebook&nbsp;</em></p><p><strong>Related links:</strong></p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong><a href="/health/eye-care/2014/11/7-habits-that-can-prematurely-age-your-eyes/" target="_blank">7 habits that can prematurely age your eyes</a></strong></em></span></p><p><a href="/health/eye-care/2015/01/signs-of-eye-floaters/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>Why you need to be wary of eye floaters</strong></em></span></a></p><p><a href="/health/eye-care/2014/11/what-your-family-history-says-about-your-eyesight/" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><strong>What your family history says about your eyesight</strong></em></span></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

The haircut that will take 10 years off

<p>For a long time now you’ve likely heard your hairstylists say time and time again that fringeswill make you look younger. Well, that’s because it’s true. Especially once you’re over 60.</p><p>But here's the secret: Not just any old fringe will do. The keys to a young-looking fringe that can take years of your look are the following tips:</p><p><strong>A fringe should be thick.</strong> Wispy pieces can make hair look thin. And we all know this is not the desired look rather, thick, lush hair is a sign of youth and fertility.</p><p><strong>A fringe shouldn't be totally blunt.</strong> An ever so varied length to the strands of your fringe will create a little bounce a movement – this screams youth.</p><p><strong>A fringe should hit between the eyebrows and tops of your eyes.</strong> Not only are super-short frnges a little bit cutesy, they have a retro feel… which can instantly look old.</p>
