Ironically?

As a frumpy middle aged mum?

(I would link for those not familiar, but don’t particularly want to promote the kind of publications writing about it).

I’m not going to look up what they look like because it will fuck up my algorithms but I would print one with Annabelle (Annabel?) or Chucky and turn it into a horror fan slogan.

Well if someone like me wore one, it would clearly be ironic, trust me 😂

Not necessarily
People are thick

Any woman, no matter how old or frumpy (your words not mine) could wear that T shirt and believe in every word of it. Absolutely nobody would deduce an ounce of irony from it. Any more than if you wore a T shirt saying protect Andrew Tate or protect Bear Baiting. I'd assume those were your values.

Edited to say, you do know what the slogan actually stands for do you OP?

This. It would be lost on me.

Same here. Also, what does Daniella Westbrook mean?

I think it’s a reference to her wearing Burberry from head to toe and putting its target market off it in the process

I would totes wear that. Just saying.

Surely you’ve been sleeping in your krankie sized onesie with protect the dolls on it, for years?

Why, are you JKR, Posie Parker, a Helen?(I could go on, but you get the drift.) Honestly, I’ve had lots of times when I thought One of Us of a similarly aged woman to me, to find they really weren’t.

I wouldn't even know what it meant!

I had to Google
