Hallo Readers,

All week, the BBC has had the loveliest time talking about itself – its own favourite subject. And there is always a lot to talk about. It has ever had an unrivalled ability to pick the wrong people, employing paedophiles, sexual predators and prima donnas. Only recently, it took steps to discipline one of its female news readers for raising an eyebrow when faced with a statement on the auto queue about ‘pregnant people’, otherwise known as ‘women’. And now it has had to grovel to that champion of democracy, President 47, for splicing together parts of his notorious speech to his supporters on the morning of January 6, 2021 in Washington DC.  47 told the assembled thugs, rogues, racists, antisemites, swastika-wearers, election-deniers and paramilitary gangs that they should march down to the Capitol to show solidarity with the brave congressman and senators who were planning to reject the certification of the 2020 election, which he had lost. Some 50 minutes later in the speech, he said that they should fight like hell. For reasons best known to itself, the BBC Panorama programme decided that it would be a really good idea to splice these two sentences together. I mean, for fuck’s sake. Panorama has one job, to report the news. Never mind that ever since the 2020 election, 47 had been winding up his supporters with a series of palpable falsehoods about vote-rigging and doctored voting machines and suitcases full of fraudulent ballots. Never mind that he told them that they had to fight like hell because if they did not, they would not have a country anymore. Never mind that once they had reached the Capitol, the mob violently assaulted police officers and erected a scaffold to hang the Vice President, as the President sat and watched it all unfold on TV. Never mind that it took him several hours to call for an end to the violence. Never mind that when he was eventually forced to say something, he called his supporters great patriots, told them how much he loved them and that they were very special. Apparently this was not enough base material for the BBC to make the point that 47 orchestrated the riot on January 6 and that he was unfit to lead the country again. So they handed that awful, lying, bloviating, deranged, oaf a present with a big bow wrapped around it, only now to crumble like a cheap suit when he demanded an apology. How embarrassing. How incompetent. How inept. Not only have they had to apologise, but they have played into the hands of those who hate the BBC and want it destroyed. So yes, the bigwigs who have resigned should have gone. Not just because they presided over this shit show, but also because they played fast and loose with the future of a once-revered institution which is supposed to represent fairness, impartiality and integrity. And because they were stupid enough to allow a man with no morals some sort of a moral victory. And that really is unforgivable.

***************************************************************************

We start our review of the week’s shocking sartorial shite at the Savannah Film Festival in Georgia with actor Kristen Stewart, wearing Rodarte.

Someone has take a paintbrush and painted a thick black line across Kristen’s minge. Which seems to match the tattoo on her right arm.

Next up, we are at the CFDA Fashion Awards held at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, where we find singer Lily Allen wearing Colleen Allen (no relation).

Oh dear. Lily is doing that ‘showing-her-ex-what-he-is-missing’ thing, in which women who have recently split from their cheating partners get their tits out and/or bare their bums, or both, coram publico. This is the Red Carpet/Tabloid equivalent of singing I Will Survive at the top of your voice on a night out on Scunthorpe Pier, and it could not be more tedious.  You never see dumped blokes flashing their buttocks, do you? No, you do not, and thank Heaven for it. In this case, Lily is giving us a sort-of-bra with underboob – yes, it’s back!!!! – and little arse-shaped chaps on an lacy skirt.  Put it away, love, and go and write another hit album instead.

Now we visit the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Los Angeles and happen upon actor Donald Glover, wearing Valentino. Scroll down slowly….

It starts off all Noel Coward with a smoking jacket in a fetching shade of mint green. Suddenly, it does a violent U-turn and goes all working man in faded jeans, before reverting to Noel Coward again for the dress shoes. Make it make sense.

Also there was actor Janelle Monáe, wearing Thom Browne.

It is difficult to discern from looking at this picture just how many arms and legs the outfit was intended for. The answer seems to be that it was designed for an octopus trying to evade excess baggage charges on a cheap flight, and so wearing all its clothes at once…..

Next we are at an Academy Lunch in Los Angeles presented by Chanel. Here is actor Claire Foy, wearing Chanel.

THIS is Chanel? This truly horrible thing is Chanel? Has Chanel been commissioned to dress Aunt Lydia in the upcoming sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale?

Here is actor Justice Smith wearing Thom Browne at the Woman’s Wear Daily Honors Awards in New York City. Easy now…..

First, no adult of either sex should ever carry a doggy handbag. No one. Never. Not even at all. Second, what the actual fuck is going on here? If Princess Anne went to a fancy dress party as a basketball player, this is what she would look like.

Now we are at the Time 100 Hall of Fame. This is actor Teyana Taylor wearing (?!?!?!?!?!?!?) Tom Ford.

Tom Ford? Ye Gods….. Not so much Botticelli’s Venus Rising Out of the Sea, more Teyana rising out of a giant inkblot in a DJ and panties.

And finally, here is actor Cynthia Erivo at the Brazilian premiere of Wicked: For Good, wearing Jean Paul Gaultier.

Er…. like Teyana, Cyn has a banging body. But why do we have to see so much of it? And so often? Enough already. The shoes are to be sick on and the alleged top is like ear covers for doggies in winter.

This week’s It’s Got to Go comes from WTF aficionado Honsa from Paddington, who simply could not believe what she saw on the SKIMS website. Are you ready? You really won’t be. Trust WTF and Honsa on this…..

So this is described as a Faux Hair Micro String Thong, yours for only £34. According to the blurb “With this iconic new panty, your carpet can be whatever color you want it to be”. It goes  on “Our most daring panty yet. Hand-made in a super sheer, stretch mesh, this string thong features a mix of curly and straight faux hair in twelve different shade variations. Complete with elastic side straps. Fits true to size”. That’s it, Readers. We have hit rock bottom. If you want to flash your minge, at least flash your own and save the money. Or, better still, wear ordinary panties. It’s Got To Go.

OK Readers, that’s your lot for this week. Please keep sending in your top suggestions for It’s Got to Go, as well as your comments, which WTF much enjoys. You can follow her on @wtffashionshark.bsky.social. Let us meet again next Friday. Be good x
