Mad Menagerie

With feathers like a sunset and a flair for fruity concoctions, fabulous flapper Squawkatoo is legendary for her beach party café! Renowned for shaking up a mean mocktail or two, she keeps the whole crew hydrated and on their toes – thanks to her great taste in music. Squawk This Way by The Budgees, anyone? She’s the shaker queen, diva of garnish and never serves anything without a paper umbrella (non-negotiable). Whether she’s rustling up a pineapple fizz or teaching the Amuseables to salsa, Squawkatoo brings color, charisma and a whole lot of fun.

Ricky Rain Frog is ready to relax. Our favorite grumpy frog has found a duck rubber ring in bright yellow cotton to compliment his soft, pea-green fur. Ricky may be sporting a big, stitched frown, but this frog’s got summer vibes for everyone!

Lambeth Lemming is huge on the design scene. A placement in Norway sparked a long-term love affair with minimalism, and she’s now built a loyal following as a chic interiors influencer. Think neutral palettes, cozy hygge, gentle candlelight... Fellow design enthusiast, White Owl, shares her styling approach, and the two regularly exchange mood boards and curtain swatches (by post – Lambeth insists it’s more romantic). Always two steps ahead on paint trends, Lambeth proves that less really is more – except when it comes to scented candles!

Lolly Sugar Glider is a certified bungee instructor, part-time thrill-seeker and full-time daredevil. In her mind, nothing beats the feeling of free-fall: velvety wings outstretched, fur ruffling in the breeze… She’s found a kindred spirit in Amuseables Peanut. Blink and there’s just an unspooling bungee cord in his place. (Lolly has to remind him that he is, in fact, a peanut – not a glider – and safety harnesses are non-negotiable…) Bashful Bunny’s already at the edge, paws poised. The question is: are you jumping too?

Allexi Alligator is head chef at Gator’s Gap: a celebrated (and entirely meat-free) diner nestled in the Louisiana marshland. Renowned for his tofu chowder and okra gumbo, Allexi gives classic Southern staples a veggie twist – and takes pride in feeding just about everyone who wanders into his swamp. Even Amuseables Peanut, who, wildly off-route, found himself in need of some sustenance after gator-frogging across the Gap, got a warm Southern welcome. (Allexi didn’t charge him a dime. After all, it’s not often someone cartwheels through the mid-lunch service!)
