Favoured label of model du jour Cara Delevigne is Local Heroes, a company dedicated to awesome slogan tees, hoodies and the bad hair day’s nbf, the slogan beanie.

With the celebrity market so saturated, people are screaming out for column inches on the Daily Mail side bar, it seems Cara is going the tried and tested method of pictures speaking louder than words a la Price/Andre. And pictures with words on the top shrieking loudest of all. (Esp for Price/Andre where one half expected that that was about as much as they could spell)

So today, go and pay homage to the trendsetter that is Local Heroes. And then come back and make your own bespoke t-shirt, hoodie or beanie hat with our superior personalised printing prowess. The sheepless homage is how we like to think of it; totally individual yet with a nod to fashion. How heroic!

I really love both the concept and the humour behind Blondes Make Better T-Shirts. Not only do they create utterly brilliant t-shirt slogans and images; they are highly conscientious environmentally, supporting a variety of causes and using sustainable materials.

This particular number harks back to several frustrated hours of childhood with a (sadly multi-coloured) Rubik’s Cube. Many an hour was spent trying to get at least one row all the same. Alas, it never really happened for me, even peeling the stickers off didn’t work and just outed me as a fake Rubik’s weaselly type. So this tee is provides the answer to my prayers, a brilliant solution!

T-shirts don’t get more awesomely retro than this Flash Gordon number, available from Topman for a mere £18. Flash Gordon will always be the film with the campest quotes ever. “Flash, I love you, but we only have 14 hours to save the earth” springs initially to mind, but how about this one “I knew you were up to something, though I’ll confess I hadn’t thought of necrophilia?”; how on earth did that get past the censors? Ah, what a great film, they just don’t make them like that any more.

Anyway, today’s tee is a bit of an homage to possibly the cheesiest films ever; sure to be a talking point if you’re out and about. I love it!

I was having such a nice time today; sun shining finally, weekend upon us, planning my Friday night revels and trying to get on top of everything before the weekend, when it struck me. Today is Thursday, Friday isn’t even anywhere near us yet, well not in my book anyway.

So, since the weather’s so warm and it’s nearly Friday, I decided I had two choices; either be depressed that there’s a whole extra day until the weekend, or enjoy that Friday feeling twice over. I’m totally going with the latter and I’ve got the t-shirt to prove it!

What a terrible disaster. I’ve forgotten that it’s Ed Balls Day! Two years to the day since he sent the infamous tweet which stated merely “Ed Balls” . Was just flicking through the paper and realised I should have made a t-shirt to commemorate this auspicious occasion. So here it is, sorry guys, promise I’ll me more on the (Ed) ball(s) next year!

I was having a bit of look at celeb t-shirts and wondering what photoboming/photoshopping t-shirt slogan potential there was to be had around this theme, when I came across this t-shirt of Linsay Lohan’s and was, to put it mildly, stumped. Like totally. Lilo is wearing a tee with the words “Just say no to drugs” splatted across the front. This has got the be such an ironic t-shirt that there is no response required. Ever. At all.

Lohan has had her fair share of setbacks, but I think she’s always had a sense of humour. And by looking at this t-shirt, I would say that she’s going to be here a while yet.

I’m having a bit of a Friday moment today and whilst looking for interesting stories (or even fairly boring stories) about t-shirts, I suddenly thought how funny it would be if a celeb was out and about wearing their latest ‘look at me’ slogan tee, and they were photo bombed by someone in the background wearing a response to their slogan. Obviously this would only work if you either did a bit of photoshopping or if you happened to get a t-shirt printed so darn fast that T-Shirt Studio is the only place you’d be able to go to. But I’d give real money (not much of it, obviously) to the matronly lady who was next to model Cara Delevigne with her “Last Clean T-shirt” on if she wore one saying “Well, do some washing dear, it’s not that hard” or maybe some really hot girl peeping out behind shiny Peter Andre sporting his historic “Team Children” ‘caring’ t-shirt if she wore one saying “you make me want to vomit”. I could go on and on, in fact, be warned, I think I might!

Sid Owen must have spent half his life having the name of his Eastenders character shouted at him wherever he goes. And to be fair, you only have to take one look and him and like some sort of primitive chain reaction the refrain “Rickaaaayyyyy” explodes inside your head. And doesn’t. Go. Away.

No wonder then that he is trying to find fame, fortune and a more classy strapline Stateside. I see him trying to be a poor man’s Jason Stretham, who is a poor man’s Vinnie Jones, who is a poor man’s Vin Diesel….ad nauseum. Just my humble opinion, one beefcake is just a bit like the next, unless it’s from Aldi and then it’s probably horse.

Anyway, here’s Sid, wearing what one must assume is a bit of an ironic t-shirt slogan here. “Actors suck” it says. Not sure if this is some kind of postmodern statement, or if Sid isn’t getting very far in the audition process and it’s an offer for the casting couch. Still, it’s attention grabbing. Not sure Bianca would allow it though….Rickaaaaayyyyyy!

Hugely excited today as the mercury went above freezing, washing is on the line and arms are being outed all over the place like hoards of pasty flaccid matchsticks as t-shirts and vest tops are donned without the aid of thermals and Arctic outer gear.

Hoorah for the sunshine! The air is thick with the scent of char-grilling and laughter is carrying all over the place from folk who have had their first dose of vitamin D in nearly a year.

So a v quick t-shirt today, just to remind you to start sloganning today, designing tomorrow and wearing next week. I hope this weather lasts!!!

If there’s a queue of people who would happily punch Chancellor George “Giddy-on” Osborne, I would probably be somewhere at the end of the line, not sure what I was waiting for but aimlessly hoping for an ice cream. I do think he’s a bit of a Gideot, and as Chancellor of the Exchequer he seems to be a bit of a no hoper, but I can’t really summon the energy to loathe him properly. God, how terrible is apathy?

The photo of him shedding a tear at Margaret Thatcher’s funeral service yesterday however, does seem a bit ripe for the t-shirt picking. It really is crying (sorry) out for an appropriate slogan (actually an inappropriate one), or a photoshopped onion or something. Sorry George; you might have been hugely moved at the funeral of one of our most famous politicians, you maybe doing your damnedest to salvage the economy, but as a multi squillionaire, I just can’t feel sorry for you, no matter how hard I clench.
