Let’s pretend for a minute that you’re a West Ham fan. It’s been a rough year for you; you’re like three days away from administration, everyone and their brother is coming after you for money, and you’re only three points away from being in last place. What could make that better?
Club themed lingerie, that’s what.
Enter Santa Barbara native Katy Perry, who happens to be dating comedian and noted West Ham fan Russell Brand. She teamed up with designer Siobhan Dillon to create the above outfit out of old replica shirts for the MTV Awards. Since her appearance on the awards show, the London club has been besieged by requests for the outfit.
Not one to pass up a good marketing opportunity when they see one, West Ham has decided to offer the lingerie up for their fanbase. For the small, one-time cost of £300 (that’s not a typo), you too can preorder the outfit for that special Hammers fan in your life.
Personally, if I were a club so close to relegation, I wouldn’t voluntarily associate myself with a singer who frequently sings “You’re up then you’re down”, but I understand that your mileage may vary on that.

Hmm…let me do the math on this one:
Talentless hack of a “singer” + talentless hack of a “comedian” + 11 talentless “footballers” wearing claret and blue = Failure.
Yup, that seems about right.
I just realized that we have two back-to-back posts with women in lingerie. Does that make us a “Mature” blog?
We could attach a similar photo to every story we do and not be a “mature” blog as long as we keep acting like a pack of 12 year olds- it all balances out.
Reading between the lines there I’m hearing I should’ve started attaching lingerie photos to articles a long time ago.
Who cares if she can’t sing? She holds up that outfit pretty well.
Who the hell is that, anyway?

She kind of looks like the older cousin of Wednesday Adams there.
I’d still hit it.
Like a hammer.
