Furry like Fiddy!
There’s not a lot to say today really. Everyone’s teeth are doing the chattering and those people out ans about who have been brave enough to wear real fur are looking warm yet nervously smug.
The most important thing is getting the layers on, so it’s dig out the thermals and base layers (string vest?) underneath a smattering of normal clothes, a hoodie to keep your head and neck warm and then round it all off with some long lost relative of the musquash family or a fleece-y duvet contraption. Who cares if you can’t move your arms and you move like a dalek, warmth is in!

Diamond Domes!
New just in from Reuters that the most expensive bra in the world, coated with 3000 white diamonds, sapphires and topazes has been slashed in price. The economy is in need of some serious underwiring, and just can’t support these weighty gems any longer. Down to just $2 million dollars, the cost of the Bombshell Fantasy Bra really has gone south. For some years now the annual Victoria’s Secret bra has been fronting the company’s holiday campaign , but the bejewelled bustier is nowhere near as perky as it’s heyday, when the 2006 Fantasy Bra cost $6.5 million.
If you feel like flashing the bling, but can’t quite stretch to two million until payday, may I suggest you take a look at our diamante t-shirts. At just £21, darling, it’s a much more civilised price!

Just so as you know, dear!
Just a glance at the morning papers today might suggest that it’s not the best time to be female. Firstly, Stephen Fry seems to have angered every red blooded woman on the planet by stating that women don’t actually like sex, and that “sex is the price they are willing to pay for a relationship”. Owch. Fry has since claimed that he was stitched up by the paper. That’s probably the least of his worries right now.
In an unrelated rant, Jay Kay, lead singer of Jamiroquai and owner of many fast cars had a massive tirade at the two lady judges of the X Factor, inferring that they’re useless. Actually, that’s exactly what he said, “You’re useless. The pair of you. I mean you look great and I’d like to f**king s**g you, but that’s it!” Double owch.
So, there we have it. Judging by the ill advised comments of these two great luminaries, women in a general way are only there for sexual purposes and it doesn’t really matter that they don’t enjoy it.
Thus today is a little bit of revenge on behalf of all the ladies out there who are far too polite to tell Stephen and Jay Kay quite where they can stick their comments. I hope you like it!

Sculpting-tastic!
It’s a bit like the grown up equivalent of putting on a padded He-Man suit, but no less exciting for all that. Spanx for men have just been unveiled in the UK and already there is a waiting list at Selfridges.
Funnily enough, I think we’ve been here before. Back in February we were discussing the new trend for men’s control underwear, with big firms like M&S and Equmen moulding your men muscles into fantastic form.
So not only can your belly be squeezed and flattened, your chest can be sculpted into something that would make Peter Andre proud. Amazing.
See through t-shirt?
But if you want another alternative, try this. Cheaper than £69 and guaranteed to excite the ladies just as much. Almost!

Handy Hold All!
This week Ryanair introduced the idea of standing up seats in a bid to cram even more people onto their aeroplanes. The seats, which would cost less than sitting down option would enable more travellers to fly per plane. At the same time, they want to hoik the cost of spending a penny up to a pound. Now that’s inflation! To my mind, if several rows of people are strapped in standing up, not daring to increase the price of their flight, the floor will be awash with that of those who just couldn’t wait. Ew!
If that were not enough, I read in Moneysavingexpert.com that the recommended way to keep that pesky luggage weight down is to wear your heaviest clothes on the flight whilst employing an item of clothing that will double up as a holdall, like the amazing 22 pocketed, IPad carrying Travel Vest from Scottevest. I wonder if it would hold a travel potty?
This reminds me of a lovely episode of Friends where Joey wears all of Chandlers clothes at once (gotta watch this clip!)and gave rise to the wonderful state of undress that is now universally referred to as “Going Commando”. Which is probably what you’d end up doing after one of these flights!

T-shirt Pants!
Two questions often occur to me, though rarely at the same time. They are 1. “Have I any underwear?” and 2. “What am I going to do with all those clothes I don’t wear any more?” As I say, I never really had cause to combine these two questions before. And then I found this. Instructions to turn your old t-shirts into pants! Hallelujah! What a fantastic idea. Whenever I am next low on underwear, I will simply chop up anold t-shirt and quickly run up a new pair, custom made; all will be right with the world, and I won’t need to go commando!
You’d think! Although when I next have a sewing machine handy to turn my armpits into a gusset, I’ll let you know! In the meantime, maybe I should make a t-shirt that reads “Future Pants” instead of “Future Wag” . Much more realistic and eco friendly!

The icing on the cake?
Having dismissed Britney for rather a while now as one of the casualties of fame too young, I was impressed to see this week that she released photos of her pre and post airbrushing so that you could see just how much of her is left after the photoshoppers have zapped her (about half, actually). To be fair to Brits, it must be hard having people going “Aha! Now I can see your cellulite!”, but at least she gets the “after” shot, when she’s all smooth, skinny and blemish free. Not so poor Katy Perry, other half of serial vest wearer Russell Brand. Papped today in a very tight dress, she seemed to be suffering an unfortunate four boob scenario. This is a common side effect of squishing too much of you into too tiny an ensemble, you start sqeezing up out of the top, a bit like a bag of icing. And although I doubt many people would complain if there was a thwopping sound and she just popped out of her dress completely, she might want to have an extra support layer on in future.
When it comes to being smooth under your clothes, the old favourite, Marks and Spencer (gently contouring) and Spanx (holding every damn thing in) are the most popular options. And with skinny t-shirts and low rise jeans on the way in for the summer, you might want to have a look to see if there’s something around that covers all areas, literally. It’s sort of airbrushing underwear, if you like. Maybe not essential, but important.

Nice-T
I read today that Jennifer Anniston’s movie the Bounty Hunter has flopped at the box office. And there’s a thing, I began to think with my granny’s voice. “Ah” thought my me-granny, “What a nice girl. How sad that Bradley whathisname went off with that dark haired whatsername. Stunning girl, but oh dear, not so nice as Jennifer.” Now I’m not usually one to think in voices, (thinking itself is a challenge some days) but me-granny did have a point. All anyone ever says about Jennifer is “Aw, bless” and “isn’t she nice” And that’s where the granny connection finally has a smidgeon of relevance. Granny was a great one for saying “If you can’t be interesting, at least be nice to people”. Which in this case translates to “If you can’t be goddamn gorgeous like Angelina, at least be nice and funny and do lots of RomComs and yoga like Jen” Poor Jennifer must be sick to the back teeth of people saying how bloody nice she is. Poor sausage though, she didn’t stand a chance when Angelina came along, and turned Brad into a beardy baby-maker (Jen would have made sure he shaved. See? Nice.)
So I think Jennifer needs a new t-shirt for her yoga and beach time dog walking. A little personalised gift just for her. Something a little sassy, a little dangerous. But above all nice!

From This......
These days everyone, but everyone has a helping hand in the form of control underwear. Just pulling on the spanx can make you perter than before, and there’s even the nod to the positive benefits on posture. A bit like a support bandage, today’s new underwear essentials keep you in and up.
....to this! (well, maybe)
Now it seems, men have been targeted as needing a little help around the girdle.(I should say so!) With the male version of spanx (wonderfully named manx) around the corner, and a range from undie classicists M&S, that hard to achieve 6 pack can be given a much needed boost. Favourite so far seems to be Australian-made Equmen, with a marvellous range of chafe-free maximum support t-shirts and vests, utilising such incredible technology that it almost makes you feel guilty if you aren’t wearing them already. It’s like Bridget Jones for boys!

Hot Stuff!
Well, I’m in the sub zero zone, wondering if I will be able to exit the house tomorrow, and dreaming of a bobble hat and hot water bottle…..and these….a wonderful pair of long johns. I remember my great grandfather wearing them (not the same pair, obviously). I don’t think he’d taken them off since the First World War, they were a bit yellowing in places, but hey, that’s what made Britain great! Anyway, the long john is my choice of inner and under wear for now. Mmmm. Toasty!
