3D Bunny!
These days more people get the Boden catalogue than the phone directory, and who can blame them? Boden’s ultra cheerful, happy jolly clothes, with bold prints and happy jolly people offer a lifestyle that is happier and jollier than even a Fab lolly. And that is one jolly lolly. I do like their children’s t-shirts, lots of vintage and retro prints, but I have to say this bunny is a bit funny. Funny peculiar not funny ha ha if you know what I mean. It’s like a 3D image so that bunny looks as though it could leap out of that t-shirt any second. Kinda scary. Makes me think of “Watership Down – The Revenge.”

Statement T-Shirt!
Some might call it just a tad insensitive, showing a collection based on the homeless in one of the coldest months for decades, but Vivienne Westwood, never one to give a stuff what anyone thinks, has taken inspiration for her latest fashion show literally from the streets. Shopping trolleys and huge great shaggy coats were wheeled onto the catwalk for Milan Fashion Week. Cardboard boxes littered the runway, and the models had there hair coloured silver to convey the image of frosty follicles. Needless to say, these designs won’t be cheap. But I guess that’s the beautiful irony. If you are homeless, you won’t be able to afford to look homeless. Although the cost of looking homeless is so high, it could make you….er, homeless.

The Willy Brigade!
Now these t-shirts I came across in regard to Prince William’s trip Down Under, where the heir to the throne but one is going down better than a can of Fosters on a hot day at the beach. Aussie sense of humour being a broad and far reaching thing, these t-shirts are supposed to refer to William himself rather than what he may have down his well-pressed trousers. The thing is, you could probably only wear this t-shirt at specific gatherings at which the young prince is present, or you might get a reaction of a very different kind!

Spikey!
Well, apparently the weather is set to get much worse again, with more snow on the way this week, and conditions bad for as far ahead as April. In which case, my winter strategy needs fine tuning. I am armed to the teeth already with long johns, (which I now cannot bear to take off), a shovel and emergency rations (constantly in need of replenishing as I keep getting peckish) for the car and a fabulous skiing jacket, bought for a fraction of the price on ebay. Now for the only remaining problem of falling down all over the place. Ice spikes. Like snow chains for shoes, a wonderful device for ruining other people’s parquet flooring and a must have to stop you falling on your a**e in the ice. Maybe not the best fashion statement ever, but a whole lot more dignified than wiping out on the pavement like a drunken teenager!

Little Blue Riding Hood!
Absolutely, truly, honestly the last time I mention David Cameron. But I was just looking a picture of him photoshopped onto a hoodie. Ah well, it was only a matter of time, although I wish I had got there first.And now I can have David in a hoodie, on a hoodie. Perfect. I just love it! I was reading an article in The Telegraph about how the whole airbrushing thingey has left DC with egg on his technologically enhanced face, and I do have to agree. Politicians aren’t generally known for their pretty faces and flawless complexions. Leave that to the supermodels!

Mug King!
OK, I promise not to go on any more about David Cameron and how perfect his mug would look on….er….a mug. But I just wanted to have a teeny bit more fun before I discard him completely. Having cackled like an old witch at the pictures of him on mydavidcameron.com, and having invoked similar bouts of chortling from those around, I do think it’s worth posting my other favourite. David as Elvis. Truly a king amongst men.

Unreal!
I just found the most hilarious series of photos of David Cameron which need to be posted onto a t-shirt immediately. Mydavidcameron.com is a website with a selection of spoof photos of David Cameron in a rip roaring send up of the posters where David appeared to be a little touched up in places. Hilarious, totally subversive and just begging to be gracing a mug, t-shirt or even one of his favoured hoodies. I particularly like the waxy Madame Tussauds one. How creepy is that!

King of Bling!
The sales of single white gloves went a sky-rocketing this year when Michael Jackson died. Although it was not totally unexpected, the news was still a bit of a shock. No more jokes about his bodgy surgery, his little friends and weird family. No, it was all hail the King of Pop, the troubled genius who was cruelly snatched from us. MJ had been around forever, and given us a fair few tunes to remember him by. What would we do without him? My little glitzy number here is a bit of an homage to Michael Jackson circa, well, the black and white years, whenever they were. I like the monochrome t-shirt and the bit of diamanté just takes it up a level. Now where’s that glove?

Hiya Handsome!
I was in the process of talking to a friend today about mullets, like you do, and my friend declared complete innocence of all mullet kind. What? How can anyone not know what a mullet is? The hairstyle to end all hairstyles! The fashion statement of a 1000 Germans! You must remember the mullet. Well, I headed straight to my computer where I found many a photo of the afore mentioned hair-do. Or hair-don’t if you’ve got half a brain cell. I decided to stick this most charming mullet picture on a t-shirt for my friend to proudly display around town. Mmmmm! Isn’t it lovely!
