Work angles, Rebels! When we’re in the mirror, they’re just looking at us. In this edition of Behind the Signature Item, the team interviewed 3 different Rebels about the fun mix ups and changes they’ve made to the classic RPF uniform. Every little detail makes one stand out from the other and we’d love nothing more than to showcase our rebellious individuality.
In this edition, we have reached out to Major General BakedBeans, Brigadier General PutJokeHere, and Colonel Jules. If you would like to be featured in an upcoming edition, be sure to reach out to a member of the BTSI team (we’re all listed at the end of this post :winkk:)

BakedBeans
First up is our Major General Beans! Her signature item is the Kitty Cat Toque, which replaces the iconic Puffle Bandana. When asked why that specific item, Beans kept it short and sweet – “I just like this because it’s very cute and has kitty ears”. And honestly, sometimes there isn’t much more to it than that! It is a very adorable item and very much suits Beans’ personality. Sometimes there isn’t much to something, but if you know what you love, that’s what makes a true Rebel!
PutJokeHere
Next up is our Brigadier General PutJokeHere. Joke’s signature item replaces our Red Backpack for a Green Bowtie neck item! When asked about this, Joke said “For those who know me, they know I love green items and try to collect every single one available“. It is just small enough to blend into the uniform but catchy enough to stand out. Sly, subtle, but impactful – like a true Rebel.
Jules
Finally we have our Colonel Jules. Their signature item also replaces our Puffle Bandana, and is the Flitter Flutter! When asked about why this item she said she had originally used the Flutterby for her signature item, but when we had a purple-themed event “I ended up using the Flitter Flutter and since then I’ve incorporated it into my usual uniform”. A Rebel always knows when to adapt, whether it is a new unheard of form or new uniform items.
Thanks once again to Beans, Joke, and Jules for agreeing to stun in this issue of Behind the Signature Item! As always, if you would like to be featured in an upcoming edition, feel free to reach out to the BSTI team; we’d LOVE to see what you bring to the Tuxedo Runway. See you in the next one!
