Duck Dynasty daughter Sadie Robertson hits the catwalk at New York Fashion Week
The Robertson family is everything good about America. Good luck Sadie.
Ducky Dynasty star, Sadie Robertson, traded her camouflage for a designer dress Monday night when she strutted down the catwalk at New York Fashion Week.
Robertson’s mother, Kori Robertson, was a beaming parent, and couldn’t help but gloat about her daughter’s new modeling partnership.
“We’re so proud and so happy about the partnership with Sherri Hill,” Kori Robertson told Us Weekly. “She’s been awesome. And they’re a family business like we are, so we feel really great.”
Not one to just let things slide, Robertson’s father, Willie Robertson, made sure the outfits were to his liking.
“Me and my mother and my grandma went to Sherri Hill’s place and we all picked out ‘daddy approved length,’ Robertson told Fox News. “She also added a couple inches to some that we loved but weren’t modest.”
While cool and composed on the outside, Robertson was struggling to keep from crumbling on the inside.
“I’ve done small [fashion-related] things in Louisiana, but this is New York Fashion Week,” Robertson told E! News backstage. “This is a whole new ball game!”
A group of Swedes have created a machine that turns sweat into drinking water.
Out with the old, in with the new!
To highlight the seriousness of potable water shortage in some parts of Africa and Asia a group of tech-savvy Swedes have created a machine that turns perspiration into drinking water. Aptly named the “Sweat Machine” was inspired by technology used by NASA to recycle everything from human sweat to urine.
Developed by a team of engineers led by Andreas Hammar, the Sweat Machine works by extracting the perspiration, which is 99% water, out of people’s clothes. Sweaty garments are tossed into a dryer, where they are spun and squeezed for every last drop of liquid. The gathered sweat then gets heated, exposed to ultra-violet light and passed through a series of high-tech filters to remove the salt and bacteria. During the final stage of the purification process, the sweat goes through a coffee filter that retains any textile fibers left over from the clothes. The result is perfectly drinkable distilled water. Although the exact capacity of the dryer is yet unknown, the inventors say it takes a full load of sweaty shirts and shorts to produce a pint of potable water. Drinking your own and other people’s sweat sounds disgusting, but according to one brave sommelier, it actually has nice sweet taste.
