ZARA Larsson has taken to social media to slam slogan T-shirts for the "message" they send out to young kids. The Swedish singer hit out at retailers on Twitter, responding to an image of two garments: one aimed at girls, which read, "Forever Daddy's Girl" next to a long-sleeved tee for boys, which read, "Future Scientist". "Do you honestly not see the issues with these shirts?" Zara wrote. "While these shirts alone are not a big problem, the message still is. "Boys can be strong, brave, scientists, heroes and girls can be... a daddy's girl." While the tweets sparked debate on Twitter, Zara's comments prompted other users to send in examples of similar styles. One pink baby suit intended for a girl read, "I only date heroes" next to a grey version with the slogan, "Future man of steel". Another example saw a T-shirt emblazoned with "Be a hero" next to one for women, which read, "I need a hero". One user tweeted an image of two black T-shirts. The first was intended for a little boy and … [Read more...] about Zara Larsson slams sexist T-shirts with ‘forever daddy’s girl’ slogan saying it teaches young women to be ‘ashamed’ of having big dreams

The artist making Irish fashionable through T-shirts and greeting cards
Among the haul presented by Kenny, who famously pointed out in what turned out to be a viral speech that “St Patrick was the patron saint of immigrants”, was The Moon Spun Round: WB Yeats for Children. The collection of Yeats’s poetry and folklore tales had been illustrated by Shona Shirley Macdonald, a Scottish artist who moved to Ireland a decade ago. Indeed, Irish folklore and language are also the raison d’etre for Mireog, the design company she runs. The illustrator set up Mireog in a studio at the home she shares in the Co Waterford Gaeltacht of An Rinn with partner Ciaran O Nuallain, a 36-year-old artist, print-maker and art teacher who also designs the T-shirts they produce. The couple met while they were both studying at the Edinburgh College of Art. Shona founded Mireog in 2014 after realising there was a gap in the market for eco-friendly illustrated greeting cards, stationery, T-shirts and postcards, all emblazoned with proverbs, songs and folklore … [Read more...] about The artist making Irish fashionable through T-shirts and greeting cards
Sports Direct is giving away free England football T-shirts but you’ll need to be quick
ENGLAND may have gone home from the World Cup empty handed, but you don't have to after Sports Direct announced it's handing out free England T-shirts. The retailer said it would give out free T-shirts if England won the tournament and despite coming fourth - it's still giving them away. There is a catch though, the offer is only available to customers who registered for the promotion and downloaded the Sports Direct app during the World Cup. Sports Direct says it will email a special code to entrants of the original give away which ran during the tournament. The souvenir shirts were originally designed to feature the iconic Three Lions logo with the words '2018 Winners' underneath - the wording has since been scrapped. A spokesman for Sports Direct said: "It was a fantastic World Cup and it was great to see the whole nation get behind the England team. "We would have loved to give away winners shirts, but customers can still wear the Three Lions with pride!" URGENT RECALL Waitrose … [Read more...] about Sports Direct is giving away free England football T-shirts but you’ll need to be quick
Woman wearing anti-Trump T-shirt arrested after climbing up Statue of Liberty
A woman who climbed to the feet of the Statue of Liberty on Wednesday to protest the separation of migrant families is in detention, police say. For almost three hours on US Independence Day, Therese Patricia Okoumou - who has been described in US reports as Congolese immigrant who has been living in New York for 10 years - walked around the base of New York’s landmark statue. At times she sat on the sandal of ‘Lady Liberty’ and on the folds of its dress. Ms Okoumou, said to be 44, declared she would not come down of the statue until "all the children are released", referring to the children that have been held in detention centres away from their parents at the US-Mexico border. She had a t-shirt that said “Trumpcare makes us sick” on one side and “Rise and Resist” on the other. Authorities were forced to evacuate Liberty Island on the day the US celebrated its Independence Day. More than 20,000 … [Read more...] about Woman wearing anti-Trump T-shirt arrested after climbing up Statue of Liberty
