Abbey Crouch: Say It, Don’t Spray It

Where there’s subtle product shilling and grammatically correct Tweets on social media, you know there’s a shameless publicity stunt just ’round the bend, Kickettes. And for you today we have one of the promo shots starring none other than Mrs Peter Crouch for the launch of Lynx Attract For Her.

You like?  Is it working its advert magic and making you want to buy whatever that thick filming shooting out from Abbey’s can is? Admit it, you want to buy at least 40 bottles, don’t you?

Or has your nose been assaulted by one too many competing WAG smells?

If you do decide to hit Superdrug to snap up this latest scent, please don’t leave home without your finest faux fur hat and snood (bra is optional). It’s cold out there, and we don’t want any of our readers sacrificing style for common sense’s sake.

The Atletico Madrid men were out in full press call-posing force last week, making nice with their club’s newest sponsor, Volkswagen.

After the flash bulbs took a breather, the squad was given instructions on how to activate the automatic hair gel dispensers that were custom fit to each player’s new (free) Beatle. Or so we’d like to think.

Aside from Diego representing a cause near and dear to his heart through his clothes – the international Avril Lavigne Fan Club – other boys on display included: Arda Turan looking giddy whilst chillaxing with his bros, Adrian Lopez Alvarez carefully resting his bum on his shiny new plaything and Fran Merida frantically searching for someone to ride shot-gun with him.

We really ought to stop over-analysing these club catalogues. It never makes us happy and, what’s the point anyway? They’re basically devices to get fans to buy branded merch, and as such, don’t need a shed load of money spent on them.

Still, they’re a good way of giving the office snark some exercise. Let’s amuse ourselves by assessing the latest offering from Liverpool FC for hidden meaning, shall we?

Irina Shayk: Fingerless Gloves Are Good For Something

We’ve been slow to post on the pics doing the rounds of Irina Shayk’s Autumn/Winter campaign for Replay Jeans. Reason being we’re conflicted.

Yes, Irina’s topless. We can obviously see that. But she’s also wearing fingerless gloves in various colours and textures.

We normally understand these fash-hazards to have no real purpose other than to protect the palms of wannabes falling down nightclub stairs, but once again, we’ve been shown that we don’t know squat about anything. We think we do, but we do not.

As Cristiano’s girlfriend skillfully demonstrates, fingerless gloves are great breast warmers. In the off chance that one’s shirt, scarf or jacket are nowhere to be found, of course.

Kickettes, should we employ these uniquely versatile accessories for our next Friday night outing, or fight them until we break a pinky nail? Please do advise.

We’ve spent a lot of time fantasising that Thomas Muller will one day gaze dreamily into our eyes. Honestly? We’re a bit scared of the repercussions now. Image: REUTERS/Adnan Abidi.

It’s that time of year again, folks. Yes, while you’re labouring through the debris of another expensive holiday season, hiding whenever the postman comes ’round for fear of your credit card statement being delivered, rich footballers are off getting free swag.

John Terry: Smokin’ Hot

Remember kids. Smoking is bad. It rots your lungs, prematurely ages your skin and due to recently implemented non-smoking legislation, can cause hair frizzing as you stand outside in the rain.

Now, John Terry might have made our hair curl in the past with his nefarious lady-bothering activities, and even caused the odd bout of breathlessness when his shorts get clingy, but so far he hasn’t aged us. So we can understand his anger upon discovering that his image is being used on government issue warnings placed on a brand of cigarettes in India.

The England captain is apparently considering legal action against those responsible for the warnings, which were still adorning packets of ‘Gold Flake’ in Delhi yesterday. Rightly so, or is he just peeved because he didn’t get condoms, like Davey B a couple of years ago? Or his own version of this Oliver Kahn endorsed World Cup accessory from 2006?

Only time and legal action will tell, Kickettes.

There’s been a dearth of Adorkable activity on this site since Arsene Wenger put Project Kidling on the backburner in favour of pursuing trophies. Now that that’s over, Theo Walcott, Wojciech Szczęsny and Bacary Sagna have been given special dispensation to don antlers and shiny red noses for this clip.

Watch as they ( around 0.13 & 0:41) get into the spirit of thing with gifts and Gunnersaurus. While you’re doing that, we’ll explain what’s going on to Bacary, who, from what we can gather, isn’t totally clear.
