Catwalk Queen!
What with all the nasties that are being exposed this week in the Leveson Inquiry, it’s fascinating to see that Elle Macpherson is emerging as a controlling Cruelle De Vil type figure, who ordered her personal advisor to go to rehab and then promptly fired her. This is not going to do her underwear sales any good at all.
Mind you, I always thought that someone who could do the school run catwalk ready at yuk o’clock every morning must be a bit of a weird control freak with power delusions….although looking at her get up here (yeti, t-shirt with print of Freddie Mercury or similar, very distressed and upset jeans) maybe she did like the rest of us and got dressed in the dark after all!

Christine Brightly!
Whilst the format of the One Show was a huge success featuring bright and shiny Christine Bleakely and grumpy Adrian Chiles, the move to morning TV didn’t really work out all that well. Enticed away from the BBC by mega bucks contracts, the Bleakley/Chiles dream team failed to set the viewers alight. To be fair to them, morning TV must be really hard to get right; there’s very few people I want to encounter at 6 in the morning, even with a big chunk of glass between us. Plagued by bad press and falling ratings, the duo have been rather publicly given the boot, oh dear.
Putting a brave face on it in true professional style, Bleakely was out and about flashing her teeth today at photographers, in a smile which is more than just a little bit grimace. I love how her teeth are a perfect match to this polo shirt, in a Daz-y whiter than whites kind of way. Ah, bright and shiny Christine, she won’t be off our screens for long….she’s coming back, Terminator style to present Dancing on Ice. Whilst Chiles will find some programme where people appreciate his grumpiness, and he doesn’t have to pretend he actually likes anyone. A happy showbiz ending!

Great Assests!
I can’t honestly think of many men (or women for that matter) who would say no if you were to tell them that the best place to put their assests was into Gisele Bundchen, the Amazonian supermodel, who is also a billionaire.
Down boy, down! What I’m actually saying is that Gisele has proved herself to be a much more worthwhile investment than the US Stock market, as it seems that what Gisele represents is recession proof, lucky girl. According to Vogue ‘The performance of the model’s clients, the so called Gisele Bundchen Stock Index, [is pitted] against the US stock market as a whole, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, and found that the supermodel has consistently come out on top since 2007.’ Apparently, whilst the Dow is down 4%, Giselle is up an incredible 67% since January 2009. What an amazing figure. And Gisele’s not that bad either.

the loot!
The world of fashion has it’s sartorial knickers all of a twist today as it was reported that samples of designer Marc Jacobs Spring/Summer 2012 collection had been stolen in transit from Paris. The samples were to be shown to press editors who had attended his shown but had kinda forgotten what the stuff looked like.
the culprit?
Press samples are made only for the super skinny with altitude sickness, so won’t be much use to whoever’s nabbed them. Expect to find them at your nearest zoo, hanging off a fashion concious giraffe…….

The Lara Lips!
Up until recently, Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts had sort of faded into the background amidst the rising stars of Cheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle and Sarah Harding. Even Kimberley Walsh had made her name as the nice one who smiles a lot.
But Nicola is now busy having the last laugh. No longer the pale ginger one, who’s just there to make up numbers, she is fast becoming a fashionista to be reckoned with, and solo artist to boot. Here she is wearing my absolute favourite Markus Lupfer t-shirt with the famous Lara Stone lips. This gorgeous number is available from Net-a-Porter, fashion mecca and drain of funds, for a mere 95 quid. Forget Cheryl, Nicola’s the girl who’s allowed now!

Perfection?
Before celebrity designers were even a twinkle in the marketing man’s eye, twin sisters Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were hard at work, pulling apart bits of clothing, finding out how things worked and fitted and felt. Phenomenally successful child stars, you might imagine they would fade into nothing, except maybe the odd rom com once their heyday was over. But no, fast becoming a force to be reckoned with in the fashion industry, they have singlehandedly(…..not wait, there’s two of them…doublehandedly then) put the design into celebrity designer.
It was while they were at college in the States that Ashley, frustrated at not being able to find the perfect t-shirt, decided to design her own. It took nearly two years to come up with the end product. Produced on a lingerie machine and with just one seam (a French seam, running down the back), they were convinced they had achieved perfection.
Within a short time, they had started their own luxury clothing company, The Row. The name has a twofold significance; partly conjuring up a feeling of elegance a tailoring, as in Saville Row, the twins also wanted a name that had nothing to do with their celebrity status.
Gradually, they have built up a great reputation for classic styling and beautiful fit and fabric. A t-shirt available at Net-a-Porter will set you back a good £200, but for this size, style and fit, it might just be worth it!

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!

Missing Something?
Taylor Momsen seems to me to spend her life trying to prove how controversial she is, how rebellious, how goth-like blah…blah…blah…! Of course what really works against her is the whole child star thing, the stint in Gossip Girl, the far too clean hair and the clothes that are out-performed by her tampon string. Pity, as she’s not that bad a singer, and if she was dragged backwards and forwards through a hedge a few times she might look a bit more authentic. As it is, the squeaky clean half is disturbingly at odds with the “X marks the nip” tit-tape look.
Here she is, showing how a t-shirt looks a bit lonely without anything on the bottom…..like er…..more clothes. More teen shocker than hard core rocker, Taylor has the dubious honour of being famous for a piece of string. Which is not always a wonderful thing.

McQueenly!
Since yesterday’s grand unveiling of the wedding dress of the century, every little princess worth her salt is going to want a bit of Alexander McQueen. Sadly, not everyone can stretch to their own custom made wedding gown, designed by the creative director of McQueen, Sarah Burton. Still, it’s vital to have a little bit of princess sparkle, and remember McQueen is THE only label to be seen in this week (unless you want to look like princess Eugenie’s hat, of course).
So, here’s a classic McQueen tank top for you to drool over from the ever beautiful Net-a-Porter. This is a wonderful twist on the McQueen classic skull motif. And under two hundred pounds. Just. A white tee, with a soft, rather delicate, floral print of a skull, giving you a perfect summer staple, and oodles of class, darling. I mean, if’s it’s good enough for a duchess…..

Get yer tees out!
Vivienne Westwood makes the best, if the naughtiest, tees, and this boobs number is an absolute classic. This is one of those t-shirts that is not for the shy and retiring, thus perfect for wannabe stars, like the girly couple from Coronation Street, who are on a bit of an attention grabbing spree.
The beauty of the t-shirt is that it isn’t far off not wearing anything at all, yet in a perfectly decent and fully clothed way. Only Vivienne Westwood could make something work so well on so many levels.
Of course, this look isn’t for everyone. You kind of have to have the sort of figure that is in keeping with the breasts, otherwise you just look really tragic, and possibly even slightly grotesque. But maybe you could put your own pair on a tee. Actually, no. Let’s not even go there. Just buy a Westwood if you want to shock and scandalise, and keep yourself demurely hidden underneath!
