As someone who really wants to lose just two stone, but isn't fat enough to be allowed to have the jabs, am seriously thinking of eating lard for a month just to get over the weight limit.

Hi Guys! I'm sure you're looking forward to wearing this easy to wear, comfy, practical outfit next Spring designed by Duran Lantink for Jean Paul Gaultier. It's not gonna chafe at all!

A man in a long-sleeve V-neck bodysuit with shoulder pads and sandals. It doesn't look comfortable. Or warm. Or practical. I bet it isn't cheap either.
