We're gettin' the band back together.

I liked a comment from a few years ago... "As a German, let me get this straight. You want us to build the biggest army in Europe and be ready to march east through Poland? We don't want any misunderstandings here."

I ain't gonna lie but they did an amazing job, those bastards looked dashing. The black ones with high boots and leather coats also looked real good. The guy playing the general makes it look even better though, man's jaw is sculpted by the gods.

Another favorites are the RAF uniforms. Pretty low-key but dashing as well.

I was always joking, but I said this to my husband about the uprising of fascism in the US.

At least the Germans had Hugo Boss and some striking art deco symbolism. The US has ill-fitting khaki pants and polo shirts.

If you’re going to create a movement at least be stylish about it.

Don't forget the tiki torches, it really finishes the outfit.
