Good news coming from New Zealand this morning: the first batch of penguins who had been harmed by a recent oil spill have been released back into the wild. The cure to what ailed them? Your sweaters. More »

Skeinz, a yarn store in New Zealand, is calling on knitters throughout the world to knit sweaters for the penguins affected by a massive oil spill that occurred earlier this month. The tiny sweaters, while eliciting aww's and squee's, serve a very important function: they prevent the oil-soaked birds from poisoning themselves by preening, as well as keeping them warm before it's their turn to be cleaned up by cleanup workers. And, you know, who doesn't want to save the lives of penguins by dressing them in the most adorable way possible? More »

So, Bill Cosby's sweaters, which he's attempting to auction for an educational charity in his late son Ennis Cosby's name, have apparently failed to elicit any bids on eBay. (Granted, the asking start is five grand. And it's June.) I guess it'd be easy to make a joke at the sweaters' expense — they are indeed breathtaking — but I'm not going to, and not just because this foundation sounds like a good cause. Maybe I've just been looking at too many red-carpet rundowns. Maybe I've been spending too much quality time with Vogue Italia lately. Maybe it's because I spent the wee smalls looking at the new Missoni collection. But...the sweaters are kind of rad. And not in an ironic, 'I-just-moved-to-Williamsburg-five-seconds-ago' way, either! Like, if Agyness Deyn or someone threw one of those bad boys over a pair of skinnies, cinched with appropriate belt and sported with insouciance, I think everyone from Wintour to Forever 21 would take notice.
