NEW SCOUTING FASHIONS 

“Social theorists speak of the "scavenging aesthetic" of modern fashion, of designers rooting around among "the archaeology of modernity" for hints and motifs and antiquated garments that resonate now, of how the modern doubles back on itself, as the past returns to "disturb and unsettle the confidence of the modern."—PETER POPHAM, “Fashion and Fascism—A Love Story,” The Independent, 3/06/2011

What could simply be more tres de rigueur—

What could be more chic & up-to-date—

What could simply be more exciting and—
challenging than today’s lazy Slacker youth?

Getting them off their slovenly fat asses—
into the Disco Cages of Gay Bars once again?

Surely Boy Scouting hasn’t gone out of style—

Scavenging & rooting around those campfires—
giving the boyz a new breeder fascist face lift!
