BRITNEY’S NEW LOOK (ISH)

Some of you lucky dogs will already have seen this in, what d’you call it, real life, but I thought I’d share these press images anyway. It’s BRITNEY – like you’ve never seen her before! Well… exactly how you’ve seen her before, i.e. hotpants, epaulets, whips, lace and leather. But this time it is designed by super trashy Canadian duo DSQUARED, who, in their sketches, have re-imagined Brits as a twelve foot Amazon with insect-like limbs and a madly glaring, pin-sized head. It comes as no surprise that the main woman is being pitched as a sexy ringleader – this is, after all, the Circus tour. But what about these backing dancers, eh? All the fun of the fair via an subterranean BDSM sex club. Great. My favourite has to be the crotch-sellotape look. It’s fun, sexy and PERFECT for these troubling times – in what other epoch was it ok, nay, pretty cool, to walk out dressed in three pieces of black gaffa? Total cost of outfit: £2.99. Roll on, cheap summer chic.

There’s a girl who turns up occasionally to Trailer Trash (at London’s On the Rocks club every Friday) who rocks a similar look. She calls herself ‘Slutjaws’, and, when I met her, wore two bits of tape on each nipple and a huge penis-shaped necklace. Heart-stoppingly ridiculous. You may have seen her in Super Super.
