That is another element of the mystery – they are almost definitely different. Compare the no-bra ad with Jonesey in 76; not the same in terms of print size or, er, breast shape.

My guess is that Jizz came up with the idea and over the next few years other novelty tee manufacturers produced their own version(s) one of which McLaren then picked up in 1975 in New Orleans.

And his decision to replicate from a tee, rather than a screen, then would have affected the image/degraded it and made it his own.

One thing though are the tits on the McLaren/Westwood design the same ones on the 69 version? Or was a different model used?

Great to read your inside-view comments – though Charlie watts bought his tee in late 69 around the time of Altamont by the look of it.

Will check later but there was a photo-feature on Sherron in the following issue of The Face which I will dig out.

And yes, who were the mystery girls? Looks like we’ll never know…apart from the fact that the original Jizz model lived downstairs from a couple of RISD students in Providence in 1969…

We never realized the Charlie Watts Tits Tee was early 1969 – amazing getting the detail from the “Get Yer Ya-Yas Out” photo-session. Hey! do you think Charlie would tell us where he bought it – New York? LA? Portobello Road? Rhode Island?

Love your reference to the Mona Lisa enigma ………

There seems to be more Tits Tees emerging from America and we’ve had a few emails where people can remember owning one but can’t remember where or exactly when they were purchased.

Can we spot the difference? The T-shirt in the LA Times ad looks different to all the others, don’t ya think? Charlie’s and Alice’s appear to be the same one but Siouxsie’s looks different again so does Steve’s……

It was a real surprise that the Tits Tee in Nick Knight’s brilliant FACE photograph wasn’t by Vivienne but in fact by the Kensington Market company called ‘Pure Sex’ …… Sheron, the model, was a friend of our daughter and was singing in a band called ‘Savajazz’ in ‘85 and at the time of the Nick Knight photograph in ‘86, was in another band called – ‘Pure Sex’.

Malcolm’s Big Easy Tit’s T-shirt story with Sylvain Sylvain reads like a scene from a Bret Easton Ellis Paperback and appears to be yet another Tits design! – Now all we need to know ………… WHO are the mystery girls?
