Fashion alert from the front lines: More OWStyle tips, this time via the Boston Herald:
Grunge — It’s all the rage
Grunge is back!
Grubby flannel and boots with a headband are all the rage at Occupy Boston, the hottest day-and-night spot in the city at the moment.
The urban camping wardrobe on display over the weekend was a heavy mix of practical gear — workmen’s pants and steel-toed boots — and a good dose of high-fashion grunge. Plaid shirts and cardigans were uniform staples along with bandanas and the must-have knit cap.
Not everyone, though, is as fashion-conscious as the stylish Herald scribe.
“It’s not a fashion show,” said Ruth Garcia, sporting a pair of gray jeans, black “Thug Life” George W. Bush T-shirt, cap and neon bandana. “We look like ragamuffins.”
Garcia, who has camped out for a week, said she’s known around OB for her all-black attire, but insisted: “I’m not goth.” A white cardigan she found in the “Free Market” tent lent some credibility to the claim.
Oh . . . My . . . Goth!

Is it any surprise then that Beavis and Butthead are returning?
Honestly sir, I’m sick of the last decade’s Victorian stuffiness. I think the return of Beavis and Butthead and the going out to protest (in that order) are good things. We’re back to kicking ass, not just whining in our livejournals about it. After a decade of introspection and self-consciousness, we step into the light again.
We forgot, in the oughties, that toilet humor funny. That life is visceral. It’s about feeling and touching and smelling, not about putting on some musty vintage smoking jacket and pretending you’re sophisticated just because you read a chapter from Bleak House in a survey course in college. But now it’s a new decade, and I for one welcome the return of our vulgar overlords.
Or, as Dryden said in possibly the greatest fart joke ever:
The mantle fell on the young prophet’s part
With a double portion of his father’s art.
(And it’s even better because if Beavis & Butthead are to be our cultural fathers, it means they finally got to score.)
Thanks, Arafat, for the only Dryden reference Campaign Outsider is ever likely to get.
