Brightest Young Things Loves America

by MADELEINE STARKEY · July 7, 2010

    In homage to all things American, BrightestYoungThings hosted a "Cowboy" edition of its Summer Camp bash this past Saturday (next one: July 17's "Cold Water" (read: hard nipples) theme).  While some might think it was simply an excuse to have another party, we have photographic evidence that this was, in fact, a party all about America.

    Among Americana examples,

    -

    -

    -

    -

    Way more beers than is necessary to be carried at once, transported by a man missing a tooth no less (Americana of the Southern persuasion?)

    -

    -

    -

    -

    -

    Hooray diversity!  (These dudes are fierce)

    -

    Pointless drinking gimmicks--this one, with Vitamin Water, is less American than the booze alternative.

    -

    Guns!  God bless the 2nd Amendment

    -

    Red, white, and blue forever!

    -

    The belly flop.  Originated in America.  No other culture practices it.

    This is somehow evocative of everyone's favorite creeper/womanizer, Mr. Hugh Hefner.  Uber-American.
