New father Gareth Gates steps out in tatty jeans… and Ugg boots
April 14, 2009It’s usually new mothers who look a little bedraggled - so what’s Gareth Gates’ excuse?
After becoming a father for the first time yesterday, the former Pop Idol runner-up emerged from his
Uggh!: Tatty Gareth Gates leaves his house wearing ripped jeans and Uggs
The 24-year-old was on his way to hospital to see his newborn daughter Missy. His wife Suzanne gave birth to their 7lb 8z child yesterday.
The singer and former lover of
The 24-year-old star, who shot to fame in the first series of Pop Idol, said: ‘We are so excited, Missy is beautiful and we can’t wait to spend time together as a family.’
In a recent interview, Gates said of dancer Suzanne: ‘She’s like my mum, really. I always wanted to be with a woman who has the same mindset and wants to look after me like my mum. She loves me, but she’ll never be my mum and she knows that, bless her.
‘She knows that my mum’s the most important person in my life. Because I see my mum and dad as such amazing friends, I think I’ll be a really good dad.’
Judging by Gates’ choice of clothing today, let’s hope little Missy takes after her mum in the fashion stakes.
Modern dress is code for sinful sexual desires
For those of you who know me, you know I’m a raging Republican whose main goal is to coerce The University of Montana to become the most conservative college campus in the nation.
In fact, I support assistant law professor Kristen Juras’ attempt to remove the Bess Sex column from this ragingly-liberal college newspaper so much that I’m going to take her old-fashioned principles one step further.
Students, in order to save your souls from the propaganda of
That’s right, girls. No more slutty outfits that make you look like you should be on the Stockman’s dance floor on a Saturday night instead of in Anthropology 101 on a Wednesday afternoon. No more outfits that merely consist of a t-shirt, tights and Ugg boots, which make you look like you forgot to put pants on.
No more Chacos or flip-flops before May and no more skirts that show your coochie when you bend over. Unless you’re a sexpert or a stripper on your way to Fred’s Lounge, you don’t have the professional authority to dress like one.
For the men, I’ll reverse the horrible trend started by the Beatles in the ‘60s and promote short hairstyles, which means there will be no more free-flowing dreadlocks bobbing around campus. We all know those dreadlocks really mean you’re just a raging pseudo-hippie and you like having unprotected sex on drugs.
Just look around you. I know you’ll see one of these people in nearly every one of your classes, and I’m tired of it. I pay tuition to go to this university, so I should have a say in what the students wear, because their scandalous outfits affect my learning capabilities.
Students should have to dress for class the same way they dress for church. It’s disrespectful to your teachers to come to class wearing next-to-nothing.
Freedom to wear what you want comes with responsibilities, and it is inappropriate and unprofessional to dress like the stars you see on MTV.
Sex is so pervasive in our culture that it’s even infiltrated your minds when you decide what to wear in the morning. College is a place for learning, not a place to express your post-pubescent sexual desires through what you wear.
So dig out that chastity belt, quit reading the Bess Sex column, and for God’s sake, PUT SOME CLOTHES ON.
Let’s work together to save our souls from the sin of sexuality before we all go to hell — the only place it’s warm enough to wear mini-skirts all year long.
I love uggs .
