Things sure aren't perfect here in the land of the free, but we're still happy to bravely drink our weight in alcohol and wear almost nothing on the Fourth of July ... Because isn't that the whole point?
Our founding fathers celebrated life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And so shall we.
Here are ten fashion freakouts from Fourth of July on South Beach.

Here in America, we love our men with unruly scruffiness. Is it wrong for a white man to rock the dreads? Not in the USA. In this country, a man can have both nipples pierced and still leave the house without fear of ridicule. Seriously, bro looks like he could kick your ass anyway.
This guy really loves America. Or he's just eyeing some sweet piece of ass-candy behind the photographer, which is totally a possibility on South Beach. What the most American way to celebrate the red, white, and blue? Wearing too many gold chains and a star-spangled bandana, obvi.

Americans fucking love irony. What's ironic about this picture? Deadmau5's Joel Zimmerman is 100-percent Canadian bacon. But his Mau5 head looks so thrilled to be reppin' the U.S. of A. Do you think this girl is in on the joke? Who cares. 'Murica.
The United States isn't just one great land mass of awesome. It's actually divided into 50 smaller sects of awesome, and that's another reason we're amazing.

In America, we sure do love our bling. It's kind of your patriotic duty to cover everything you've got in cheap, shiny things. How else will we know you mean it when you say In Gaudy We Trust? Cover you hat, cover your phone, cover your nails, cover your tits. Where is the nearest vajazzle spa?
Nothing says "welcome to America" like a couple of hot plastic surgery patients with permanent bitch face staring you down. Yup. We love this country.
