High camp and punk rock DIY politics permeate each page with outrageous fashion and genius aesthetics. Text and image conjugally burst with a good humoured sneer. In an advertisement for gold lame cowboy boots Buchan writes “a trifle extreme maybe but what is too much today, won’t be enough tomorrow. After all, anything worth doing is worth overdoing, and nothing exceeds like excess.” Brillant!
