Angry Angy tears Toon off a strip

Aug 9 2009 by Coreena Ford, Sunday Sun

In a new artistic demonstration, Angy took her protest a step further, by ripping up strips from 11 other teams – including Toon rivals Sunderland – to turn them into catwalk creations.

One dress called “Hope” features a Shearer- emblazoned shirt, signifying her hope that the Toon legend will return as manager. She hopes to show them soon in a fashion show.

Her “Chaos” dress was inspired by the confusion that has ruled at St James’s amid recent takeover talks.

Angy, 35, who originally comes from Timisoara in Romania, said: “This time around I have made the dress in a repulsing way. The colours are all very sickly together, especially the custard-yellow away shirt.

“And I’ve made it to show that we still care, no matter what people do at the club.

“No one seems to be communicating properly at the club, and no one knows what is going on. You don’t know who to believe and there are so many rumours.

“I will definitely wear the dress again. You make a statement with every step you take in a dress like this.

“It’s shredded in pieces and tangled up, which is just how so many of us fans feel.”

Since moving to the Lake District, Angy has set up her own business, Romantique Couture, in which she aims to turn all manner of unwanted clothes into new, exciting items.

She said: “I always say to Mike that he should be careful where he leaves his jeans as he never knows what I’ll turn them into.

“Sewing is in my blood and I first used a sewing machine when I was about six years old. But anyone can do it.

“All you really need is a sewing machine and a bit of creativity and then you can do anything.”
