Bindi Continues Dad’s Legacy Of Caring For Animals By Dragging Snake Down Catwalk At Trade Show

9:12AM Clem Bastow | Goblin child Bindi Irwin has continued in her quest for total world domination by appearing on the catwalk at the Las Vegas-held fashion trade show, MAGIC, where she was launching the Bindi International Spring/Summer 2008 collection on a global scale. Wearing a yellow T-shirt and khaki camouflage shorts, Bindi appeared on stage with a 2-metre-long carpet python wrapped around her neck. She then paraded down the runway in front of a crowd of about 500. The wildlife warrior was joined on the runway by other young models wearing the Bindi International spring/summer 2008 line, although one young boy looked terrified when Bindi’s snake appeared to lunge at him. We’re glad that Bindi is continuing in her dad’s fine work with sensitive animals, because if there’s one thing we know about the care and keeping of carpet pythons, it’s that they love being handled under stage lights with music pumping from a massive sound system. They also like drinking pina coladas and being dressed up in Barbie doll clothes. More »

Bindi Commemorates Father’s Death By Doing What He Loved, Live On TV

11:35AM Clem Bastow | The Irwin tribe continue to make their very private grief very public, with the announcement that Bindi Irwin (cause of one of our favourite pieces of graffiti ever, “Bindi Irwin scares the shit out of me”) will host a saccharine television memorial regarding Steve, on the one-year anniversary of his death. Bindi, nine, will host My Daddy The Crocodile Hunter on September 1, airing unseen home videos and talking about her unique childhood with the world famous showman and wildlife campaigner. Are we the only ones who feel distinctly uncomfortable about all this? We still get the feeling, as we always have, that Terri Irwin would be perfectly happy living – and grieving – away from the cameras; is this all some kind of “it’s what Steve would’ve wanted?” act of nobility? If so, she can be as brave and noble as she wants, provided she also keeps Bindi off our screens! More »
