Last time we checked, wearing hair rollers in public was a “Don’t” in most sensible ladies’ books.
Well thanks to a recently misinterpreted decree from Vogue, the British press is now claiming that the baffling, mind-boggling and completely WAG-like trend of wearing hair rollers whilst out and about is now in fashion.
Not so fast.
While staring at this photo of two Borussia Dortmund boys and their WAGs at a post-fashion show party in honour of sweets and other high carb/high sugar delights, we were struck by one undeniable truth: shop assistants lie. Oh, how they lie.
They lie to the innocent and cash-rich when they tell them, “Why yes, Mr Kehl, Palm Beach suits are going to be huuuge this Spring.”
They lie when they also say, “Shresses with elastic hems and colorful Missoni-like haberdashery are a must for any woman seeking a front row seat at Berlin Fashion Week,” as well as, “Whatever it is you’ve got on your feet really bring out the warmth in your eyes, Josipa.”
Anyway as we were saying, Borussia Dortmund’s (from left to right) Patrick Owomoyela, his steady sweetheart, Josipa, his team-mate, Sebastian Kehl, and Kehl’s WAG, Tina Kruger, hit the red carpet together two weeks ago in Cologne, Germany, to celebrate the annual International Sweets and Biscuits Fair (ISM).
Naturally, we’ve signed up for VIP tickets to next year’s shindig.
Top of the morning to ya, Kickettes!
Hope you had a nice weekend filled with treats of the alcoholic and ‘baller varieties.
We’re quite certain this falls into the “breaking news” category, but we’ll be damned if we put the effort into Googling the amount of times a ‘baller has been seen with his sweetie at Cricket. For as long as we’ve been spouting nonsense and abalicious photos, it’s never happened.
Perhaps Charlie’s fiancée fancied herself a pair of limited edition Ruthie Davis hi-tops with signature spikes, something she’s been recently lusting over on Twitter. For a measly £350.00 (or $645), it’s no wonder Sophie-Leigh decided to bring her man and his credit card along for the boutique shopping ride.
But still, a footballer bravely (and knowingly) entering the confines of Cricket with his lady in tow and without a noose around his neck is a rarity ’round those parts. So much so that we’re slightly scared and acting all melodramatic about the apocalypse coming to get us before our next blowout.
Only gossip mags and Jaffa Cakes can save us now, Kickettes. Stay strong and start stock piling.
It was only a matter of time before the living Barbie became a real Barbie, wasn’t it?
Proud husband Rafael tweeted some pics of the Sylvie Barbie that was unveiled at a toy fair in Germany today. Toy makers Matel even worked with Sylvie’s stylist Danie Bles to make sure every detail of the Jan Taminiau dress she wore on Let’s Dance last year was accurate.
Sylvie is working as an ambassador for a European design competition with Barbie. This makes us think of what other WAGs would make good Barbies. We’ve affectionately dubbed Claudine Keane “Hot Mess Barbie,” but there must be more. Alex Gerrard as “Trend Monger Barbie” perhaps? Yolanthe Cabau as “Hair Envy Barbie?”

The intrepid gentlemen (and ladies) at British GQ threw us for a loop yesterday morning when they announced their annual list of Britain’s 50 Best Dressed Men. Sure, the obvious choice to represent all of ‘ballerdom was there and we would’ve been perfectly satisfied if they left it at that.
They didn’t. And their selection for the runner up had us checking our Twinings for hallucinogens.
Like a lot of you, we’ve noticed that The Special One’s dress sense has gone from GQMF to WTF. Case and point: to sweat out Wednesday night’s El Clasico, Jose wore track pants, a hoodie, and a puffer vest.
A puffer vest! Two years ago Jose would have used a puffer vest as a wee pad for his dogs. So what’s causing the dip in sartorial form?
Jose must have a case of the sadz. Sure, Real Madrid are 5 points clear at the top of La Liga and have a somewhat promising match up with CSKA Moscow in the knock out stage of the Champions League, but when push comes to shove they probably couldn’t beat Barcelona even if all the Blaugranas wore blindfolds and Messi played with his legs tied together.
Trophies are what matter. We think. Or so says Jose’s style.
When we’re down, our emergency stash of chocolate buttons is the first to go. Maybe for Jose it’s his custom-tailored suits. Barcelona is his Everest. Until he conquers it we’re in for Adidas, nylon and *gasp* polyester.
We’ve seen all three wear much more exciting ensembles than these, but they all look very normal for once. Tired, slightly annoyed even, but otherwise very normal.
Sara Carbonero’s signature street style seems to fall in line with a “longer + looser = better” mantra, which we definitely identify with on most Saturdays and Sundays. We’re a little uninspired by Louise Redknapp’s love for all things furry, fluffy or fuzzy, however. And while we (and Yolanda Ruiz) j’adore Alena Seredova’s Prada Saffiano lux double-zip tote, that doesn’t compensate for the rest of whatever she’s wearing.
Your take on the sartorial choices of these errand-running WAGs, Kickettes? Do you dig their casual cool vibes, or wish they’d lighten up and put a little more effort into their winter weather street style?
