So I spend six hours reformatting my computer. I visit Boi From Troy for a refreshing catch-up with his latest adventures in style and taste and all things gay and this is what I come across lower down his front page (quoted in full):

Seen in New York the latest redux: The Eighties.

Think polo shirts with collars up (as seen at right). Could Members Only Jackets be next?

All across New York trendy boys wearing Polos and Brooks Brothers were flipping their collars up…and if theirs weren’t, I would kindly let them in on the trend.

My question is…will it last long enough to make it to the Left Coast?

— Boi From Troy: Trendspotting: The 80’s are back!

Unpredictable people make for exciting experiences, but if 80s retro is upon us I’ll be the first to go on record that its expedited adoption, first by the “hip and cool” and then by the “trendwhore” preppy boys and girls would lead to its near-instant demise. Such a trend deserves nothing less. Now, where was that old New Order casette lying around the house?
