There is this cruel thing I remember from my teenage/early 20s. Girls/women get together and say what a heart throb some guy is, semi-swooning and then some guy says “He’s gay”. And then the girls/women stamp their feet and curse.
There are strange and exotic singing sounds emanating from the stoop masonry workers — Bangladeshi, I guess. First, warlike now, a little romantic sounding I think. They are happy as clams at high tide with their own work. me too. Beautiful. They are hand forming the “lips” that extend slightly from the steps in concrete.
I just saw a woman walking down Fulton wearing a white T-shirt with a large grey squirrel imprinted on the front. (I saw someone on the train with a T-shirt with a squirrel with nuts, and saying “Protect your nuts”)
M4L, good idea about the folding bike. Those things are great.
American Apparel Hipster Turns Preppy as Stock May Be Delisted
Aug. 6 (Bloomberg) — “Hipster is over,†says Dov Charney, who, as the founder and chief executive officer of American Apparel Inc., rode the trend as far as anyone.
Starting the company in a dorm at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts, he built a worldwide empire of 280 stores by leaping out ahead of mainstream fashion. Over and over again he remade the hipster wardrobe, sensing the demand for neon nylon bike shorts and lace-thong leotards before the competition.
The biggest challenge of all may be stylistic. After outfitting the world of 18- to 30-year-olds in all manner of T- shirts and leggings, which still rank among the company’s best- sellers, American Apparel is going preppy, diving into more sophisticated garments such as blazers, pleated pants, button- down shirts and more formal lace tops.
“Kids are moving away from piercings,†Charney says.
“We want to grow old with our customer. We want to be a traditional American clothier.â€
