Cowboys Westwood tshirt, originally uploaded by timbearcub.

About to go off to see MILK, thought this tshirt that Steve Holy13nation gave me would be the best thing to wear - from the naked cowboys to the Joe Orton quote (below them). :-)

Dunno if it'll be seen if it's freezing, but it's the thought that counts :-)

What's the Joe Orton quote?

the one quoted here

"You look very pretty in that fur coat you’re wearing’, Oscar Lewenstein said as we stood on the corner before going our separate ways. I said, ‘Peggy bought it me. It was thirteen pounds fifteen.’ ‘Very cheap,’ Michael White said. ‘Yes, I’ve discovered I look better in cheap clothes.’ ‘I wonder what the significance of that is?’ Oscar said. ‘I’m from the gutter,’ I said. ‘And don’t you ever forget it because I wont’."

Very appropriate for Auntie Viv, no? And the whole punk ethos.

Shit, I gave you a one off. That's not the usual wording. They normally say:

"'ello Joe, Been anywhere lately?"
"Nah, it's all played aht Bill. Gettin too straight."

still one of the best presents anyone has given me ever.

I tend to wear it on special occasions - I know not really punk but it's not the kind of thing for family occasions - actually since they've been acting like cunts to me, I might just wear it at that as well ;-)

That's the most amazing shirt I've ever seen. Went to the site and, indeed, they have the shorter quote displayed.
