Inspiring!
Beyonce has been busy popping out the mini Jay-Zee of late, but the multi-tasking mega diva managed to produce a t-shirt together with her mother to help raise funds for President Obama’s re-election campaign.
The singer has hopped (and popped) on board an a project spearheaded by the Editor of American Vogue, Anna Wintour. Along with other celebrities and designers, the endevour, called “Runway to Win” aims to sell as much merchandise as possible for the president, and includes amongst other things, a t-shirt by Marc Jacobs with the slogan ‘I Vote Obama’, and various bags, scarves and wristlets. There are also pieces by Diane von Furstenberg, Tory Burch, Derek Lam, Jason Wu, Alexander Wang, you name it, they’re there, behind the scenes, squirrelling away, like er…sartorial campaign squirrels. With an army like that how can he possibly fail!

There’s a lot to look out for these days, and new clothing company Stressdressed Apparel have got the t-shirt for each and every bad little thing that’s been going on.
Choose from a range of suspiciously minded t-shirts, or customise your own. I love this “Beware of Protesters” t-shirt. Very funny, irreverent and full of lovely dark humour. Right up my street. This is a good one too.

Old Clarky’s all over the papers today having offended lots of offendable people about the strikes. So here’s a little t-shirt for him.
Warning! This old git may cause offence!
Maybe he could wear it on national television whenever he is going to say something that will be considered offensive, and then people who were likely to be offended could switch over and watch a nature programme or a nice documentary. Ed Miliband could have one too.

A photo of rap star/mogul Jay-Z sporting a t-shirt with an offshoot of the Occupy slogan has zoomed around the world causing consternation. With his mega mogul millions, Jay-Z is unlikely to be feeling the effects of the recession and is more likely to be seen shopping for diamonds and general baby bling for his wife, the reasonably well known Beyonce. It transpires the tee is made by Roc-a-Wear, Jay-Z’s own ickle clothing company and is (big quotation marks here) “inspired” by the Wall street protests. What the slogan actually says is “Occupy All streets”, with a bit of fabric graffiti changing the wording of the slogan. The t-shirt disappeared off the website for a few days, bringing huge sighs of relief, surely Jay-Z had seen the error of his ways; that it was more than slightly unethical to profit from the Wall Street protest. But then the offending article ricocheted back onto the shelves and the imbalance was restored.
Maybe the super duper star is so far removed from the real world, he thinks his take on the slogan is ironic. I hope so, because otherwise, someone who belongs firmly in the 1% of the mega wealthy wearing this tee is pure rap. With a silent “C”

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.

Further to my little theme of capitalising on the Wall Street protests, it seems that the Occupy t-shirt is quite a popular item, and there’s more than just the one of them about. I think I can cope with people buying custom t-shirts as a one off (I’d be in the wrong job if I didn’t) and wearing a slogan t-shirt is pretty much the best way to get your message across from a distance, so I think I can go with that. And if you can’t handle a bit, or even a bucketload of irony once in a while, you’re probably in the wrong life. Making a whacking profit when you’re protesting about the evils of capitalism, well there’s a word for that too, but it’s probably unprintable without using a couple of stars and the odd exclamation mark.
So anyway, here are a few of the best Occupy t-shirts I’ve seen……

Capitalism City!
One of life’s cruel little ironies must be that over in the States, some bright entrepreneurial souls are starting to sell Occupy Wall Street t-shirts, mugs and other merchandise emblazoned with the “Occupy” logo. Even the whole Occupy and 99% thingey is being trademarked. I can see the point of advertising the protest to raise awareness, however cashing in on the protest is kind of missing the point a bit, no?
Go and check out theoccupystore and take a look at capitalism at it’s most weasely, sheesh you can even customise your own Occupy t-shirt……how long before it takes on over in the UK do you think?

Taliban Ban?
Considering that British soldiers have been fighting the Taliban for the best part of ten years, you might think it not wholly inappropriate that there is the odd t-shirt about it. Not only in a show of support for our soldiers but also in the current affair genre thingey. Last week however, a market stall holder in Lincolnshire was asked to remove from sale t-shirt which read “Taliban Hunting Club” around a target with skull and guns, modern-day pirate style. People had been offended by the t-shirt, which was duly withdrawn. The stall holder, whilst compliant, wondered why and how many people might offended by the t-shirt, and opened a Facebook debate to discuss the issue.
The great question is whether with such a sensitive issue, commercial merchandise is lacking in taste. So, would you ban the Taliban, or would you let the hunt go on?

Free t-shirts handed out at a right wing rock concert in Gera in Germany gave the wearers a bit of a shock when they were later washed. On the surface of it, some 250 t-shirts handed out by an anonymous donor, had a typical right wing slogan (Hardcore rebels, national and free”), but upon washing, the first layer of ink dissolved to leave a stark message from an organisation called “Exit Deutschland”. The group aims to encourage and help Neo Nazis escape from the hard line right wing extremist groups. The newly washed and slightly more tolerant t-shirts would display the message “Whatever your t-shirt can do, you can do too” along with contact information for the group, which claims to have helped 400 disassociate themselves from the far right to date. The ink on the t-shirts was developed only to dissolve in detergent, so that if it rained, the t-shirts wouldn’t ruin the surprise.
Needless to say, organisers of the concert were mightily miffed about the scam, but Bernd Wagner, founder of Exit was delighted with the outcome. Their hope of raising awareness of the group certainly succeeded. I don’t expect many of the t-shirts made it though!

Bad Bush!
I wonder what Geroge W Bush is up to these days. Having been Obama-d out of politics, he’s probably doing the rounds of the public speaking circuit and making mega squillions……almost as much as the debt he saddled the rest of the States with. But not quite.
I read in a news archive somewhere about an Australian man chucked off a flight to Oz because he was wearing a t-shirt which read “World’s Number One Terrorist” together with a picture of Bush. The reason he was wearing it, he maintained, was that he was defending his freedom of speech. The reason he was kicked off the flight, said the airline, was that he might frighten the other passengers. Quite right too. Flying is scary enough, without someone wearing a t-shirt that has the “t” word printed across it. The same chap kept on trying to get on aeroplanes wearing the t-shirt, until in the end they threatened to chuck him out of Australia as a whole.
There used to be a lovely range of Bush t-shirts. The “Good Bush. Bad Bush” one was very popular for a while. But here’s a lovely one, documenting Bush’s acronym, The War Against Terror. Well, he was, wasn’t he?
