Grasping at straws there KOK. That site has been around for a while. Talking about ex-Mrs McCulloch - oddest article I remember reading is a Guardian article from about three years ago claiming Liverpool as the fashion capital of Britain. Not ex-Mrs McCulloch's fault mind you, just a now dead fashion magazine editor.

"Lorraine McCulloch is another force to be reckoned with in the Liverpool fashion scene. The ex-wife of Ian McCulloch, of Echo and the Bunnymen fame, McCulloch introduced the late Isabella Blow to the wonders of Liverpool style for Blow’s 2002 landmark feature for Tatler, in which the British fashion industry’s leading early adopter decreed the city to be the new fashion capital of Britain. As Blow put it, “I think Liverpool people naturally wear more fashion than the inhabitants of any other British city. The girls there are wonderful. They all wear high heels and think you’re a lesbian if you wear flat shoes.”

McCulloch, who recalls Blow likening the women to peacocks, with their glossy lips and dazzling outfits, remembers the vibrant Liverpool of the Seventies, when Holly Johnson, Jayne Casey and Pete Burns would walk down the street, “looking unbelievable, like they had just landed from another planet. Musicians have always pushed the boundaries of fashion, but beyond that, I think fashion has been a way for working-class kids from Liverpool to get away from the everyday humdrum. That mentality still exists; everybody works really hard during the week; on the weekends they want to cut loose, dress up and have fun.”

The Liverpudlian approach to fashion does, however, seem to be spreading, with many Brits aiming less for the just-got-out-of-bed look and more for a bit of high-glam and shine. “I don’t set out to influence the style of other people,” says Coleen McLoughlin, “but sometimes girls do come up to me in the street and ask where I have bought my clothes from, which is dead flattering.” Mills agrees. “At the last couple of parties I have been to in London, I thought people were looking a bit more polished. And they look better for it. That is what we all want to see in our celebrities, something aspirational.”

Says McCulloch: “In the past people haven’t been that positive about us and put the city down. But Liverpudlians will never be put down. We are just going to get on with it, get dressed up and enjoy ourselves. That is the Liverpudlian spirit.”

I'm sorry, but WAG-style dressing (as also seen worn by soap "actresses" at soap star awards) is one of the most god awful things to grace women since snow washed jeans and Pepsi and Shirley puffball skirts. WAGs are awful, especially that Cheryl Cole one. It's not cool, don't do it kids.

If that's the best KoK can come up with (no pun intended) after a week's research he's losing his touch.
