Having rather ungainfully fallen down a flight of stairs in Morocco yesterday I am fairly amazed that I can even comprehend the idea of t-shirt printing or anything personalised at all. Except hand rails, walking sticks and Nurofen for sore arses. Still, with a reverberating crash still echoing around my head, this “BANG!” print tee by Topshop is just about all I can cope with. Cool, contrast collar, interesting print and quite funky. And that’s just about all I can say about it. Apart from owch!

T-shirts don’t get more awesomely retro than this Flash Gordon number, available from Topman for a mere £18. Flash Gordon will always be the film with the campest quotes ever. “Flash, I love you, but we only have 14 hours to save the earth” springs initially to mind, but how about this one “I knew you were up to something, though I’ll confess I hadn’t thought of necrophilia?”; how on earth did that get past the censors? Ah, what a great film, they just don’t make them like that any more.
Anyway, today’s tee is a bit of an homage to possibly the cheesiest films ever; sure to be a talking point if you’re out and about. I love it!

Fairly reassuring bucking of that post baby gymtastic body here by DJ and TV presenter Fearne Cotton. Much, much more normal and physically depressing than the likes of Giselle and Miranda Kerr, who pop out a sprog as if by magic and then five minutes later are all sleek and gleaming in their sportswear, totally catwalk ready.
So a bit of a hats off to Fearne today, who although is so chirpy I do sometimes want to slap her (just a little) for not making all other women feel inadequate about their post baby body, baggy t-shirt and leggings gym/nighttime attire and absolutely no slap on whatsoever. Fearne may be named after a prongey leaf, but she’s top banana in my book today!

This one made me laugh as yet another case of political correctness gone a wee bit too far. A chap wearing a t-shirt with the undeniably questionable slogan “I may not be Mr Right, but I’ll f**k you until he comes along” was arrested for refusing to take off his tee. Now, granted, he was at an anti violence rally, so the appropriateness of the t-shirt kinda hung in the balance, but it is a little bit funny.I mean it’s crude and stupid, but not violent and quite honestly anyone wearing a t-shirt with that sort of slogan is just outing himself as a complete tool. The argument that he was in a public park where children are present does hold some weight, but not enough to warrant an arrest. Or do they? Am I just too cynical and hardened to this cruel world of t-shirt slogans? Have I no sense of good and bad one liners? Or do I just think the best thing to do is to wear your own t-shirt with the words “Not if you were the last man on earth” and stand next to him?

Was totes blown away by the sheer impact of this Christopher Kane t-shirt from Net a Porter. An homage to Frankenstein’s Monster and the colour purple (just the colour, not the novel) this is a masterful example of t-shirt impact over the need for indoor sunglasses. It also reminds me a little bit of Herman Munster (from the Munsters) who was an early role model. So I’ve just got to love it.
This could be the perfect transition piece as the weather does it’s bipolar thing and the sun goes all hokey cokey for a while. This would be awesome with black skinny jeans and the whole gothic nightmare ensemble, or just as a normal person’s tee. Well, a fairly rich normal person as Herman will set you back a spine chillin’ £195. Monstrous!

Hollywood star Ryan Gosling was papped out and about this week wearing a Macaulay Caulkin photo t-shirt whilst out and about it what must be termed “the sunshine” (don’t actually remember it) this week.
It must be noted that when celebs (or bona fide Hollywood film dudes in Ryan’s case) wear photo or slogan tees, they’re quite often sending out a subliminal (or not so subliminal) message. One which their publicist would go mad over. But I can’t for the life of me think why anyone would be making a Macualay Caulkin statement. So maybe he just likes the tee!

Way, way back in 2012, Hollywood megastar and the hairier half of Brangelina, Brad Pitt was paid four million to star in the most atrocious perfume advert, like ever. As ‘The Face’ of Chanel No 5, he successfully showed the world why he has never won an Oscar as he hammed his way through such a big pile of drivel, you’d need a diamond encrusted JCB to clear up the bull***t.
The poor chap was thoroughly lambasted for the whole thing, with spoofs and virals popping up all over the shop. Being a bit of a Simeon Farrar fan, I thought his Brad Pitbull: Inevitable t-shirt should have a day all of it’s own. Available from ASOS as part of Simeon’s exclusive Black Score collection. Love it, buy it, wear it, need to wash it. It’s inevitable!

In keeping with my Tyrannosaurus Rex t-shirt of the other day, and considering my great fondness for word games, I thought this Topman t-shirt might be another along the same lines. Featuring a print of some crows which happen to be black, this could definitely be another good number for secretly declaring your band allegiance.
This one could be any number of variations on the crow theme; black crows, counting crows…er……well, that might be it. Anyway, it’s a cool t-shirt whatever your fashion/musical statement. What’s more, it’s only a tenner, so one to fly away with!!!!

Just loving this t-shirt by the awesome Tee & Cake, available from Topshop. Not only is it an extraordinarily super cool t-shirt, it also has a bit of a musical nod. I quite like that, and if they had a black eyed pea on a tee, or a one way (or one direction) sign, I think I would really like those too. Even though I’m not a huge Black Eyed Pea fan. I did used to really like Catchphrase though (remember this one?), so maybe that’s the appeal. Anyway, you can buy this roaring number for the almost extinct price of £20.

I think I am far too old to understand the lure and excitement of One Direction, the band manufactured from the bin ends on the X Factor, and which seems to be pretty much the most successful thing to come out of the bowels of Simon Cowell like, ever. Actually, I think it has something to do with Harry Styles’ flopsy hair, but I’m not sure. Anyway, One Direction are like a cluster of British Biebers and their every move, tattoo and girlfriend must be rigorously scrutinised.
So here’s Niall Horan wearing a Ramones t-shirt. Never mind that the Ramones are probably the same ages as Niall’s ancestors, he’s displaying the young rockers respect for his forefathers in the music biz. And that is a good thing. I do not know what is happening with his hair in this picture however.
