ParTee like it's 1989!
Get your Tee at 1989 prices and make a statement

I don't know if you noticed, but there weren't a lot of snappy dressers marching in the anti-war protests. It wasn't just concern for the Manolos.

Don't get me wrong, the shoes are always an important consideration. But fashion and politics have never made good bedfellows. Really, who wants to be associated with the patchouli patrol?

Hollywood is celebrated at The Oscars - The Golden Era which opens at Proud Camden today. Enjoy Frank Worth's glamour snaps. 10 Greenland St, NW1. £3.
Pierce Brosnan brings a little glamour to the South Bank by attending the preview of Evelyn at the NFT. 7pm. Belvedere Rd, SE1. £17.50 on 020 7928 3232.

Now, thanks to the genius of Ricardo Cortés, founder of the Magic Propaganda Mill, you too can declare your dispute with the impending war without donning itchy hemp products. This hand-screened I LOVE IRAQ T-shirt, a spoof of the iconic I LOVE NY tees, cheerily reminds fellow pedestrians just how many innocents we're about to slaughter. And it can be yours for a very reasonable US$14 (about £10) plus shipping and handling.

Cortés is quick to add that the shirt is not a tribute to Saddam Hussein’s dictatorship. Instead, he intends them to be "an homage to a people whose humanity has been recently blurred into a cauldron of political implications".

Not eager to wear your political beliefs nipple-side? Visit the interactive Mill anyway. Cortés' wicked sense of humour is bound to have you snorting out your Nescafé. His "Fuck the Silent Rockstars" crusade aims to get spliff-smoking famous people out of the crisp aisle and into the limelight.

Celebrities campaigning for marijuana usage? I smell a telethon in the making.
