Pro-Mubarak supporters have been sporting a dazzling array of cobbled together civilian/military costumes in what outsiders are calling ‘a resurgence of military chic.’
Fashion critic Zsa-Zsa Gibbon called the trend, “a natural return to form for the Egyptian people” who, in her opinion are well overdue a resurgence of the combat look.
“All over Cairo we’re seeing middle aged men with despotic paunches sporting daring combinations of military trousers and TK-Max t-shirts.”
“I think the look they’re going for is the sort of ‘off duty security personnel engaging in brutality’ style… Very NOW, you know”
The trend is certainly gaining pace. All over the cities of Cairo and Alexandria the proliferation of violent men who look just like poorly disguised members of the security services are showing off their looks by going out and liberally beating peaceful protesters.
Pro-Mubarak supporter and sociopathic violence junkie Mustafa Assouk said “We’re really into this look at the moment. I’m not sure exactly what it is about looking like we’ve just finished a shift at the Stasi-esque secret police and then popped down the streets to crack some skulls really….
“Maybe it’s just a season thing… you know how fickle fashion is.”
“Either way, I’m all over it. Look how this cheap t-shirts perfectly accessorises the standard issue pants I’m wearing. Check out how this confiscated hoodie perfectly concerns the billy club in my pocket.
“The look is perfect form meets function”
He added, “Now, where’s my tazer?”
