Whether it be fireworks and banging (that’ll be the head the next day), or an early night with a nice quiet book and a cup of cocoa, have a wonderfully happy new year from all of us at T-shirt Studio. And what a year an amazing year it’s been. Well, ish. Riots, Nick Clegg and Kim Kardashian’s short-lived wedding have kept us despairing of the planet’s future. And we already have an idea of what will keep us entertained next. The 2012 Oympics, Jeremy Clarkson causing extreme outrage amongst people who never watch him on the telly, and more celeb marriages that last about as long as a piece of chewing gum. Hey ho! Well, here’s to the first t-shirt of 2012, the first of very many. Hic!

love it when celebrities auction of their old stuff. And although not quite in Elizabeth Taylor’s league, Katie Price, aka Jordan has been selling off her old tat for years Peter Andre and Alex Reid included). I absolutely love this t-shirt she’s flogging on Ebay at the moment. A perfect piece of Katie and a little bit of celeb history. The slogan reads “I’m the girl your parents warned you about” on a t-shirt by Crafted. Isn’t that just brilliant? Might have to put a bid in and hang it on T-shirt Studio’s wall, as the ultimate in t-shirt memorabilia!

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.

Apparently (and don’t believe everything you read kids) Mr Beyonce, also known as Jay-Z is selling a range of Occupy Wall Street ‘inspired’ T-shirts with not a penny or a dime of the profit going to the 99% organisation which has been seen protesting across the world this past month. Allegedly, the tees won’t be directly related to the Occupy protests and the 99% organisation, but will be a kind of offshoot of the protest slogans, netting Jay-Z a big profit to add to his vast array of mega squillions and firmly affirming his position as somewhere near the top of the 1 per cent inspiring the protests against the 1% (you still with me?)
One can only hope that noone buys Jay- Z’s t-shirts, and maybe causes him to shed a teensy weensy tear of pity and sympathy for those less millionaire like than himself, otherwise he might not realise that people are actually trying to make a point. Not a buck.

Towie tee maker!
The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE as it’s also known) has become one of the most successful shows on the television. Part fly on the wall docu-soap but with situation guidelines, it’s one of those show which blurs the lines between fiction and reality.
With the BAFTA winning programme spawning new and wonderfully orange slebs, it’s no wonder that the merchandising is starting to be produced in time for Christmas. The first to turn designer is Nicola Goodger, who stars in the show with her sister Lauren. First off, she’s producing a range of t-shirts with slogans inspired by the characters on the show. I quite like this for an idea. Slogans such as “My heart belongs to Essex, but the rest of me is up for grabs” are great in an ironic way. I might get one for the boss!

Numbers Vorderman!
Fresh from being voted “Rear of the Year” (Pippa M was susprisingly unavailable), Carol Vorderman is now prone to flashing her best asset every time a camera is nearby. Carol, who was everyone’s favourite maths mistress is still looking pretty great these days, although the tight tight jeans and Superdry t-shirt combo looks a bit like she’s nabbed them off a passing young person.
Having once proved that maths was sexy (well, sort of) she is now showing us that she is too. Sometimes, wearing young type clothes when you no longer are can be a bit on the icky side, but if you can make 255 out of a random series of numbers in 60 seconds, you can wear what you like!

Models Tees
Some great t-shirts here from the Model Agency which are being sold in aid of youth charity Teens Unite. Inspired by some of the sayings from the fly on the wall TV show, which covered one fashion agency’s run up to fashion week, the tees are now being auctioned on ebay. The programme was filmed at top model agency Premier Models and featured all the hectic business, emotion and skinny beautiful people you would expect from the model industry. Strangely addictive, it is a fascinating behind the scenes look at the fickle world of fashion. The tees feature a selection of snappy little soundbites said by various people such as “Turn that frown upside down!” and are certain to be popular. Check them out!

All hail Eugene!
Celebritees is a website devoted to the cult of celebrity and t-shirts. Hence the great name. It features a long discussion on the role of celebrity in society and the rise of celebrity culture. For instance, it states that “The modern mass media has increased the exposure and power of celebrity. Often, celebrity carries with it immense social capital that is highly sought-after by some individuals. High-paying jobs and other social perks unavailable to most people are readily extended to celebrities, even for work not connected to the talents or accomplishments that made them famous.” and goes on to talk about the resentment often incurred by celebrity status. “Because celebrities have fame comparable to that of royalty or gods in the past, some people exhibit curiosity about their private affairs. Due to the high visibility of celebrities’ personal lives, their failures are often made public. Therefore, “celebrities” are usually viewed as exhibiting worse personal behavior and having worse moral values than most people. ”
Actually, it’s all rather interesting, the “celebrity” bit, so I was intrigued to delve into the “tees” bit and see if that was as in depth.
Er….not really. Featuring a range of unofficial t-shirts with slogans, the tees are a bit wanting. Some of them are ok, but the “Pete, stop killing yourself” in the Jeniffer Lopez section made me wonder whether the writers are so celeb obsessed they’ve become a bit addled.
Still, here was one I almost liked, although more because it was so bad rather than so good. Maybe the nerdiest t-shirt ever created, Eugene is my top celebriteee!

A Girl. In Material. A Material Girl.
Well, it looks like Taylor Momsen hasn’t lasted long as the face of Material Girl, the clothing range of Madonna and mini me Lourdes. Maybe Taylor (she of tampon-gate) wasn’t quite the role model they were looking for. So, in a move right out of the fashion frying pan, all the way into the fire, they (whoever they are) have decided to bring on Kelly Osborne instead. I can sort of see the reasoning. Edgy, weirdy rock chick type girl for Madonna’s daughter’s pet project. I can’t help thinking though that someone is barking up the wrong tree here. Obviously Kelly knows all about nepotism, and getting publicity because of her famous parents,thus the perfect choice for Lourdes, and will guarantee maximum publicity, but a teen fashion line, really? Well, we can only wait and see. But in the meantime, here’s a printed t-shirt from their current range. Do you think Lourdes has got bored already? Bless.

Things being what they are in this modern age of television, you might think that Alex Reid would have an inkling of what he was getting into by marrying Katie Price. Known primarily for her alter ego Jordan and inflatable assets, Katie is a walking, talking reality TV show. Reid, who is a cage fighter and wannabe actor is said to have gotten fame hungry, and have used her to further his career. The irony was too much for anyone to bear, so he has to go. Right now! One thing you can say for Ms Price, she doesn’t hang about. Cue lots of teary interviews and photoshoots from both sides. A reconciliation, maybe? A new clothing range? Definitely more Botox.
Anyway, here’s Alex in happier times, in a lovely rhinestone t-shirt, back when he was full of sparkle, and Katie had some very bizarre feathery pants (or was that pre-waxing?). Ah, the good old days!
