Australian Pirates

No I don't mean these guys (I'm sure people heard we have some funny political parties here in Australia, just like Vermin Supreme in America etc.)

 I read this the other day, how Aussies are the biggest illegal downloaders per capita in the world, I think it also has a lot to do with because we're on such a delay for shows like Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones and commercial networks have only really started broadcasting 'fast tracked' shows in the last few years here, but i digress-

Does this mean we can all start wearing Pirate hats in public? Then get known as awesome hat place and not racist bogan place?

Woo! Pirate hat party!

Lou Doillon pirate hat red carpet originality!

Perhaps my love for pirate hats won't cotton on with the rest of the Australian public, but you can't blame someone for trying!

 If something as terrifying as 'side-boob' can become a 'trend' why the hell can't this?

We're the Dandy Highwaymen

"I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention
I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention!"

Best song opening line ever (feel free to submit rebuttals)

Oh Adam Ant, let me count the ways i love you

Pirate fashions!

Kabuki make up!

Pantaloons!

"So what's the point of robbery when nothing is worth taking?
It's kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake he's making"

(lyrics from Stand and Deliver by Adam and the Ants)

Who can forget the brilliant moment in Absolutely Fabulous where Patsy gets Eddie to do the Prince Charming dance and with such wondrous lyrics and brilliantly over the top (i suppose it could be classed 'workwear' for the Ants AND the dread Pirate Roberts?) costuming, who couldn't love you?
