"Things Bogans Like"

This is a great little book I discovered in a Brunswick St bookstore, like moths to a flame, it pays homage to the key trends Australian bogans are attracted to en masse. Given my last post on Future Music Festival, I simply had to post these photos. 


FMF aka Future Music Festival OR Fugly Muzza Fashion!


If these two had a kid, he'd probably be born wearing colour-rimmed sunglasses. He'd also probably be called Bazza or Jezza. 


To the second girl on the right - your Arabella Ramsay shorts look adorable!


Hate to break it to you pal, but I think that denim vest is a few sizes too small... He probably has the cleavage to pull it of though.


Do you think you're some sort of underbelly badass walking around with a tattoo-clad mate and the word "High" feat. image of a burning joint written on your top?


"Unit" - LOL


Oh babe, that denim waistecoat is doing nothing for you. And as for your friend, who the heck wears a dress to a music festival and drinks champagne?? THIS ISN"T THE MELBOURNE CUP! FMF may have been held at Flemmington but the only horses at this festival is the one in this photo (on the right).



These two look more suited to Brisbane FMF - their dress sense screams Gold Coast trash.


cute playsuit in the middle not sure about the appropriateness of her friend on the right's outfit though 


Is it a pig? Or a mouse? Who cares! It's downright FUG. 


ZOMG havinggg theeee siikkkesttt timeee evahhhhhhhhhh!!!!


I bet this guy thinks he is THE biggest pimp. tri-winning?


"WOW" is right. You guys really do look that stupid. Even if you are trying to be clever with your reference to The Chemical Brother's Salmon Dance.


This guy looks like a woggy Gene Simmonds... and the his and her hats further confirm the bogan status of these two. Aren't they a little old to be hitting up FMF anyways?


Ahoy! All aboard the S.S. Slut 


Please. Someone just get her a kaftan!!



If you squint really hard, this guy could almost pass as a gay, blonde version of Robert Pattinson... 



FMF is not just a topz off event for boys. Yet, then again, this girl really does put the MAN in woMAN.


Where's the Pied Piper when you need him? There sure are plenty of drowned rats around!


Shouldn't you be home with your kids or something?


I like what this girl is wearing here, no midriff and no inappropriately short shorts. 


Rule no. 1: when you have that much fake tan on, and it is raining, you do not wear white. I can imagine these three leaving a fanta-coloured trail of puddles behind them once the rain came. 


Shame on you for letting your boyfriend leave the house with that hideous wig (is it a wig??!!) on!


Sensation White - anything but sensational. 


Introducing MTV Asia's brand new show: Korean Shore! I'd nominate the ripped guy in white as Asia's answer to "The Situation". 


Is this one of those Macbook photobooth parallel image things?


Wayne's World?


Honey, it's not the Races, you can do without the fascinator. And while you're at it, how about you just do away with the whole damn outfit - friends included. 


These two look like they'd be better suited to attend a Justin Bieber concert rather than the 18+ FMF. 


If Janet Jackson couldn't make the boob/star thing work then lady, you have don't have a hope in hell!


Phew! Thank GOD she wore that black bolero! It will really keep her warm and help protect her from the elements.. Her whole outfit goes so well with her boyfriend's Bali D&G tank and wannabe Craig David goatee. Probably Melbourne's classiest couple since Carl and Roberta Williams.


Whoa whoa ease up on the slurpees buddy! You don't want to be adding "diabetes" to your list of attributes - (right under "ranga" and "dole bludger") - the chicks in Cranbourne will be lining up for miles :|


These 4 look like they belong in some sort of Muzza Boy Band. Maybe instead of Westlife, they could be called "Westie-life"


Babe, you may "heart Australia", but Australia doesn't heart you...


Just doing the old armpit sniff/b.o. check... yep still fresh!


hot girls at future music festival? it's like finding a needle in a haystack! 


the guy in the green cap looks like he's about to OD anyyyyy minute now!


This looks painful. 


The Skank Patrol! Can I get some coffee with that muffin top? or some lighting with those thunder thighs?


They're still making peasant tops?


How passionate...


What a classy looking couple. I sure hope they're using protection, Melbourne does not need this DNA spreading...


The girl on the right is the same girl from the kissing photo above, she gets around...


Ah, another ill-fated couple with the Nicole Kidman/Keith Urban height complex... I like her top though!


I hope these girls are getting paid A LOT of money to wear this...


Here is an equation that I see time and time again, festival after festival, without fail. It defies all logic, rationality and all laws of physics. Yet nevertheless, the theory continues to prove correct: the bigger the girls = the smaller the clothes. Truly mind boggling stuff. 


Dear LORD! What are those pants?? I feel like I need to be wearing sunglasses just to look at them! And those super high top gold sneakers really do put the cherry on top of this hideous outfit...


...and just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, she puts on the glasses!!


nawww bogan love <3



Welcome to the gun show


I like this LA top lots. I also have body envy over her legs.


these two are my favourites. they're like a transvestite version of Kath & Kim. Totally taking the piss out of 99% public's festival fashion choices. so good!!!!


It's ironic that the guy wearing the sombrero, actually looks like he could be from Mexico.  


Fresh out of prison? In those matching stripe tanks, they won't stay out for long if the fashion police catch them! (and yes that was a lame call but I bet you if Joan Rivers were here she'd say the exact same thing!)


What is wrong with some people!?


Festival goers, please do not buy the festival merchandise, even if you're hot and skinny you will look like a dickhead. 


umm... is that a kilt? 


Just a casual bit of cross-dressing...


If there's one thing worse than buying festival merchandise, it's making your own and wearing it. Does that girl's top say "I Heart Honda"?? The guy on the far left's tank also reads "Shot Master" - It's because of people like you that bullies like the runt kid in the Casey Bully Youtube video even exist!


OMG so much Ke$ha fever in the air I can taste it! And it tastes like skank mixed with a bottle of jack!
