The Saturday’s are a girl band, and there is one who looks a bit like Sienna Miller, and that is why they are famous. The one who looks like Sienna is called Mollie King. I’m not sure if she is as annoying, but it probably comes close. Still, the Saturdays are very popular, even if noone knows what they do. When I say noone knows, I think I mean noone cares. Not true; I expect people do care, but they are little people who are under the age of about 10, which is the target audience for most pop stars these days. And yes, I am feeling very old today. I was at least 14 when I discovered U2 (I have since “undiscovered” them, you’ll be glad to know).
Anyway, I quite like this tee that young Millie or is it Mollie is wearing with a few tears and the slogan “Dirty Blonde”. It has that dual meaning which lifts it a little out of the “girl in t-shirt” category to the upper realms of “quite nice looking girl in funny t-shirt”. I think this is progress.

Big news today is that Mickey Mouse has hijacked Joy Division’s beautiful (if a little weird) artwork from their ”Unknown Pleasures” album. Naughty little rodent. Anyway, Joy Division purists are up in arms at the alleged theft at the pinching of their special wiggly lines, and drummer Stephen Morris has weighed into the argument saying “I was quite angry when I first saw it. No one asked us. They’re trading off the band and our album cover. I don’t like the design at all. It’s horrible.” And indeed he has a point. What’s Mickey doing looking all pimply?
Originally, the blurb on the Disney tee gave reference to it’s inspiration, stating that”…..inspired by the iconic sleeve of Joy Division’s ‘Unknown Pleasures’ album, this Waves Mickey Mouse Tee incorporates Mickey’s image within the graphic of the pulse of a star. That’s appropriate given few stars have made bigger waves than Mickey!” however, this has now been removed from the website, as too many grumpy fans complained, presumably. And maybe they thought it would be better all round if they didn’t draw attention to the ripped offness of the design.
The t-shirts have now sold out, making Disney very joyful indeed. They might be taking the Mickey is it a joyful decision?

After naughty minx Rihanna performed on the X Factor with rude words on her shoes, I was dying to read what was printed on her t-shirt at the Jingle Bell Ball. Her cut off tee features a long piece of writing with DANGER scrawled across the top in red. Rihanna just doesn’t do subtle and demure so I’m guessing it’s something pretty saucy. A great twist on the slogan tee, as it’s one of those ones that everyone wants to read, but the writing is just a little bit too small.

The End of the World as We Know It
R.E.M.’s “Everybody hurts” is pretty much the chief anthem for angst ridden teenagers. Luckily it’s counteracted by “Shiny Happy People” a jump around and dance on the table song. The news that R.E.M. have announced their split came yesterday along with the sage words of Michael Stipes that “A wise man once said ‘The skill in attending a party is knowing when it’s time to leave” What with all the ageing rockers around doing comeback tour upon comeback tour, saving the rainforest and frolicking with teenagers when they’re as wrinkly as Nora Batty’s stockings, this strikes me as a remarkably dignified exit. Unless they’re planning a reunion tour.
Music-wise, I can’t actually recall anything after “Automatic for the People”, hence today’s tribute t-shirt is probably what you’d consider to be vintage. So RIP REM, long may you live off your royalties.

Justin Bieber is the sweet and fresh faced pop star from Canada who could do absolutely no wrong. Until now, that is. After being recently spotted wearing a rude t-shirt, fans and grown ups around the world were horrified that the mini icon not only knows bad words, but is wearing them too. The words, taken from a Cee Lo Green song, say “F**k you and f**k her too!”, hardly the stuff of role models. But Bieber is in this in between stage, where he’s not a baby faced boy anymore, but kids are still listening to his music. It’s quite understandable that he wants to do a bit of rebellion, but surely he could be a bit more subtle about it; maybe some nice seedy bars and a bit of drugs and prostitution would help. This would then pave the way for a couple of DUI’s, complete with mugshots, a bit of theft and rehab a la Lohan. Wham bam, Bieber grows into a bona fide troubled star, and the t-shirt would go almost completely unnoticed. A bit of self destruction as the perfect distraction!

Amongst the reams of indistinguishable mass produced pop music and X Factor tosh Amy Winehouse has always stood out as an incredible talent, both vocally and in her songwriting. The news that she had died yesterday was hardly a surprise, but a huge tragedy nonetheless. Amy has been hailed the forerunner to a host of strong female vocals, such as Lady Gaga and Adele, and the amount of tributes pouring in to express condolences to her family is testament to her popularity.
Although Winehouse has been oft crisistcised for being a dreadful role model, I would beg to differ. Firstly, because she was a singer, not a moral crusader but also because she is a stark reminder to the attention seeking wannabes of how fame and wealth doesn’t always equate with happiness. Oh yeah, and that drugs are bad, of course.
So today’s t-shirt is one I showcased just a few weeks ago, brought out again for a little tribute to a truly fantastic singer. a musical icon with the best beehive in the business!

Chargin!
Hardcore festival goers are gearing up for Glastonbury which starts this weekend. Already some of the early birds are stomping around in the mud, getting ready for the big kick off. The weather is due to be changeable, as usual, so make sure your festival wear is sturdy and rainproof.
One of the more ingenious items being introduced to the crowd this year is Orange’s sound Charge t-shirt. By changing the vibrations from the music on-stage into electric charge, this state of the art tee will keep your mobile going all weekend. The fabric of the shirt is manufactured with Piezoelectric film, which acts as a giant microphone for sound. This is converted into enough energy to charge two mobile phones or one smartphone.
Honestly, the idea is fantastic, but if I were you, I’d get your friend to wear the t-shirt, and let them charge your phone. Innovative, definitely, but stylish it ain’t!

Amy Winehouse's Warning!
Saturday’s slightly unusual performance in the Serbian capital of Belgrade by Amy Winehouse has been shown around the world. Although her management had banned alcohol from all her tour venues, she had evidently found her way into a hotel mini bar that wasn’t locked and done damage to quite a few miniatures. Or maybe she had smoked the little bars of complimentary soap. Whatever. She most definitely wasn’t at her most fabulous, which is pretty fabulous, to be fair. She was more like a pissed person being dragged up to do some karaoke Amy Winehouse number that she didn’t know the words to. Happens to the best of us I’m sure. Although, not being Amy Winehouse actually lessens the expectations. Amy is however at least expected to know the words to her songs. She has now cancelled the rest of her tour dates and will not be accepting payment for the concert.
A lovely little Amy t-shirt caught my eye, which maybe her ideal tee for today. Featuring the songwords “I told you I was trouble”, it seems fairly appropriate. It’s not like she didn’t warn us now, is it!

Finally, after weeks of dry weather and drought declared throughout most of the country, the deluge is upon us. Hooray for the plants, and er…..what a nightmare if you’ve been at the Isle of Wight festival. Still, a festival wouldn’t be a festival without a little, or even a lot of mud, and Kate Moss getting plastered.
Picking the right gear for a weekend under the canvas is always a bit of a challenge. Comfort and warmth vie with style and coolness. Picking a faded t-shirt is always the best option, that way at least it starts as it’s going to end up. That goes with the ubiquitous festival wellies or sturdy boots, and denim of varying lengths and hues.
Whilst this year and next will see an awful lot of union jack t-shirts, what with the Royal Wedding and the Olympics, make sure it’s nicely worn in. Otherwise, it’s vintage rock n’ roll all the way.
I love this long faded black and white Debbie Harry t-shirt from cult label House of the Gods. Long, slouchy fit, with rolled hem and low scoop neckline. What’s great is that they work with pretty much anything, from shorts to leggings, under and over. The dresses are similar but a bit longer. Go festival chic and display your music and style credentials. Don’t forget the wellies tho!

Joan Jett Tee!
There’s certainly something about music t-shirts. They’re not just items of clothing; they’re souvenirs, photographs, even old friends. Guardian columnist Alex Petridis describes how in his youth he “….treated them [his t-shirts] with the reverence some women afford haute couture.” Band t-shirts that take you back to your teenage years are to be highly treasured for the snapshots they afford you, and for the nostalgia they evoke. Petridis describes a wonderful website called My band t-shirts; an interactive blog site, where you can share your fondest, and funniest t-shirt memories.
What’s so great about this site is that page after page reads like t-shirt obituaries; so loving and poetic, and full of precious memories. Like this….
“[My] Joan Jett t shirt was bought in New York in 2000, from a suitably scuzzy rock shop, close to the corner drugstore on the back of the first New York Dolls t-shirt. This was at a time where Joan hadn’t been rediscovered by the post-irony generation, and t-shirts of her were hard to come by. I pounced on it like a starving man on bread. I nearly bought two, and I wish I had. In fact, please bury me in this.”
And this
“……..A pre-teen Iron Maiden Number Of The Beast tour shirt, bought at my second ever gig, Bristol Colston Hall 1982. To see it now, a rag in my Dad’s garage, used to mop up turps and paint spillages, it’s hard to imagine ever being so young, so naïve, so tiny”
Bands may come and go, your youth may fade, but a t-shirt? That can last forever. Well, unless your mum turns it into a duster!
