Lookin’ McFly

Our second favorite night cap launches soon

Pride doesn’t have to end with June, darlings. For us, instead of displaying our pride year-round by keeping our ankles off the ground, we might take a subtler route… well, if you consider iridescent rainbow fabric subtle.

We try our best not to take fashion cues from 80’s flicks (unless it’s Mad Max night at the leather bar) but there were some sartorial moments in Back to the Future we wouldn’t mind bringing, well, back to the future.

No, we don’t need a self-cleaning jacket (we have people for that), have no use for a hoverboard (enough Stoli crans and we’re disoriented enough to believe we’re riding one), and we lose track of time too much as it is without a Delorian… but there’s always been something we liked about the hat that Marty McFly’s future self made oh-so trendy.

Hipsters, still loyal to the late 80’s/early 90’s revival, are destined to over-saturate the fashion scene with the retro-futuristic cap, but as the rightful copyrighters of rainbows in any of its forms (sorry, leprechauns), us gays can legally claim the new product first.

It might clash with the latest Pride collection of sweatbands, jock straps and acrylic nails, but the hat is sure to make nighttime encounters more interesting. After all, we tend to have a bad habit for picking out narcissists, and the hat’s reflective iridescence will provide them with a mirrored waist-up view of themselves while we’re visiting their Marty McFly…
