    Excuse me?

    Sometimes, things are so rich with comic opportunities, you don't know where to start. Like a dog in a forest.

    This attracted my attention.

    I mean, first - clothing? what clothing? you mean it doesn't all come from Oxfam?

    Next - people want to look like Amy Winehouse? What on earth for? Sing like her, write songs like her, yes. But look like? Perhaps she can do her own line of bongs and mirrors...(not to mention the ironies present in 'do her own line'...)

    Finally, I have this nightmare vision of being out clubbing in the streets of any large city and seeing dozens of women dressed like Amy Winehouse. If that didn't put you off your pie and pint I don't know what would.

    I don't really care one way or another about Ms Winehouse - but I don't understand what's so odd or funny about a dog in a forest

    Cool Re: Excuse me?

    But you get value for money with the Winehouse collection. As you are able to wear the same thing over and over and and over and over!

    What next Britney Spears launching a range of hairbrushes? Have these celebs no shame? Heavens above! Could you imagine Jade Goodie launching a bottle of perfu...... no... wait... you're kidding me! Then withdrawn because... OMG... Maybe she'll launch a range of microwave curries, kebabs and poppadoms then

    It isn't odd, or funny. Read carefully. It's the multiplicity of opportunities that is the heart of the image.

    Don't know whether these people do exist or not but, in my books, they would in any case have better mental health than the ones who wanted to smell like Posh Beckham or Jade Goodie.

    Ever so slightly...
