It had to happen…
25 March, 2007 at 7:35 pm | In Uncategorized | 11 CommentsI am glad I have lived to see boganism make its come-back. The Age newspaper in Melbourne (online) publised this story, showing Melbournes fashionable are now turning to flannies and stove-pipe jeans to look the part. And paying shit-loads to do it. Admittedly, my skin tight dark blue faberge’s (with white stitching) are a thing of the past, and I have put on about fifty kilos since those days, but I am sure I can organise something with the flannies I have left over, to ensure I am considered one of the “fashionable few” next time I head down south…
”These days, the most fashionable are forking out thousands of dollars on designer gear to look like fair dinkum, Victoria Bitter-swilling bogans.” (and I do it for $6.99 from Target…huh…)
’bout freakin’ time.

Deep down (and I mean DEEEEEEP) everyone loves a bogan. Or has loved one. Or was one. And, it shames me to say it (NOT) that I have never heard of that song.
Sorry.
I think if they played that song in Yass, one of two things would happen;
1- people’d be standing around the pub saying “wha’ th’ fucksa bogan?”
2- There’d be a lynching at the radio station (Yass does have it’s own (community) radio station…Yass F.M., 100.3).
And we (I) have rope…

babe,
the city bogan trend will last 5 minutes, but I’m pleased to hear the real deal is here to stay. Can’t confess to a bogan past, unless you count a few hot folks who only wore moccasins indoors
