  1. donatella,
    I thought the tats and piercings were more of a West coast affliction? All the girls looking like Betty Page.
    I don’t get as annoyed when I see that look which is like a combination of Mexican Cholo and Tommy Lee from Motley Crue.
    At least I can see some interesting art work there.

  2. Legion: Lately however, I’m seeing more of a: Prospector rolled in oil and dipped in pubic hair.

    What’s up with that?

    hahahaaaaa…..gross. Well, you have to admit that the 4 day stubble has been a part of straight fashion for some time now (never liked that look either) but what you describe is not shaving AND not washing. oh I forgot to say another element of hipster style…the use of hair product that makes a person look like they either have been electrocuted OR just woke up out of a 1 month coma.

  3. Legion…but these 20 somethings I’m seeing out there today look like they’re not even tryin’ which is sad. :o(

    There are a couple of things about hipster chic which differentiate it from some other looks sported by young people…..tattoos and facial piercing. I try not to be constantly shocked and appalled (a key element of cane wagging) but I really see those things as self mutilation. do not like.

    That and pork pie hats..

  4. ha donatella,
    Is that the “look” at the flea?
    I used to go to Williamsburg in the 90’s and I recall the look was sort of a studied nerd; with polyester pants, keds, a sweater and messed up hair.
    More succinctly; a middle school math teacher circa 1981.

    Lately however, I’m seeing more of a: Prospector rolled in oil and dipped in pubic hair.

    What’s up with that?

    DO NOT break out of your exoskeleton and consume their brains. That will make the human police suspicious, and you don’t need that.

    But but but, I lurve the brain so so much. :o( The emptier the better. Can stuff it with artisanal ice cream from the flea and munch on it for days.
