Pink Princess!

Funnily enough, I’ve almost started to feel sorry for Alex Reid. Absorbed into the juggernaut of self publicity that is Katie Price, he really doesn’t stand a chance. Peter Andre has fairly successfully adopted the persona of someone with a slight and fragile air of mastication, chewed up and spat out by his erstwhile missus. The Reidernator, who touted himself as manly cage fighter with bendy nose, has no such claims to pathetic victim status. If he jumps on the Andre bandwagon, he will lose all credibility (er?), and be consigned to Z-list appearances with X Factor rejects and Big Brother contestants who still haven’t got the message. If he sticks with her (though it’s not really his choice  is it?) he will be forever swamped by her fame and vast assets. Whatever is an alpha male fighting type to do when faced with such a tough decision?

Well, the answer is, who cares? As long as Katie herself is still pneumatic and pink. Which she is, she most certainly is. She will go on being pink, come what may. Here she is, at an inexplicably popular book signing, wearing her own Katie Price brand t-shirt, pink of course, (I feel she is the natural successor to Barbara Cartland) which reads “Horses are like chocolate; one’s just not enough” That could also apply to husbands, I think.

Wearing the trousers....just!

That Katie Price is one tough cookie. Having bounced back already from her disastrous attempt at a pop career (again), she’s forging ahead with her newest venture, whatever that is; probably a new perfume or book or husband. Current husband, cage fighter and all round macho guy Alex Reid is struggling to prove he’s the one with the trousers in the top celeb relationship. The fact that he’s often seen dressing as a woman hasn’t 100% helped to be honest, but when you’re married to Katie Price, being a tough guy cage fighter broken nose type probably isn’t good enough. Pah! She has them for breakfast and spits their little toes out when she’s had enough. Alex said this week ‘People have been saying I come across as henpecked in our show Katie & Alex: For Better, For Worse, and that is fine – I guess I am! But the important thing is, it’s only when I want to be – I allow Katie to do it!‘ Bless!

!

So, a little quote for Alex today, and for the henpecked everywhere. Wear it on your t-shirt if your trousers have been purloined by your partner or inscribe it on your mug to look at while you sit in your shed, trembling!

Flattering?

Flattering?

I came across a lovely article in the Guardian the other day bemoaning the increasing lowness of the male v-neck t-shirt. Special attention was drawn to how unflattering they look either on the pale and pasty brigade as well as with the buff and tough lot. Think Alex Reid, for the buff look or Johnny Borrell of Razorlight for the dweeby, skinny style. It made me want to have a little investigation of my own in terms of how low can these t-shirts go.

Sexy?

Sexy?

What with the growth (literally) of the moob the v-neck is plunging new depths in order to show off more than ever before. More, in fact that was much better off when it was less, if you get what I mean. I spotted several examples of the deep v-neck t-shirt, and honestly they all look a bit scary. American Apparel sells one of the worst offenders, closely followed by Topman.

In terms of dreadful menswear, I always thought that the vest t-shirt, as sported by Russell Brand was probably the most unflattering garment, but it looks as though it has some competition. As long as noone has got around to designing the deep v-neck vest t-shirt, we should be ok. Just!
