Woman wears same dress for 100 Days
A 52-year-old from Boston, US, has got the Internet talking by taking up a unique challenge – wearing the same dress for a 100 days straight.
Sarah Robbins-Cole joined the 100 Day Dress Challenge in September last year and wore the same black merino wool dress every day for over three months in a bid to “live without fast fashion and simplify her life”, according to news reports.
Sarah wore her Rowena swing dress to work, church, and wore it while walking and even wore it on Christmas.
Along the way, she dressed it up or down as needed with the help of colourful jackets, scarves and skirts. For a 100 days, she documented her style files on Instagram and spoke about why she took up the challenge.
“Wearing just one dress for 100 days is a valuable lesson in how little we need,” she explained on Instagram.
Sarah is not the only woman to have taken up the 100-Day Dress Challenge, which was thrown open by an American brand “founded on three principles: live simply, consume carefully, and do good.”

Texas woman’s tongue is the world’s widest at 3.11 inches
A Texas woman was awarded a Guinness World Records title for the surprising contents of her mouth – a 3.11-inch-wide tongue.
Brittany Lacayo told the record-keeping organization she decided to apply for the title after learning about the former record-holder, Emily Schlenker, whose tongue measured 2.89 inches wide.
Lacayo’s tongue is exactly as wide as the average length of an adult woman’s tongue: 3.11 inches.
Her tongue actually is wider than it is long when measured from the epiglottis, the flap of cartilage located behind the tongue.
“It is neat and kind of funny,” Lacayo told Guinness World Records.
The male version of the record belongs to American Brian Thompson, whose tongue measures 3.49 inches wide.

Ohio man’s dog license number earns him $50,000 lottery prize
An Ohio man used the numbers from his beloved dog’s license tag to play a Pick 5 lottery, drawing and scored a $50,000 prize.
Roger Sours of Tiffin told Ohio Lottery officials he bought a ticket for Wednesday’s Pick 5 drawing at the Pit Stop on N Washington Street in Tiffin and selected a special set of numbers: 1-0-8-2-2.
“I play two sets of numbers for Pick 5 and this number, the number that hit was actually my license number for my German Shepherd that I played. She’s no longer with us anymore,” he said.
Sours said he was shocked when he watched the lottery results on TV.
“I just sat here. I watched the lottery when I can, when it’s on TV and I just sat here. It was like, I froze. I just couldn’t believe that it hit,” he recalled.
Sours said his winnings will go toward taking care of some bills and giving a boost to his savings account.
