Hipsters

[DolfanBob]

I ran across this little gem on "The Lost Ogle" and wanted to know if Hipsters downtown or really anywhere are a good thing or bad thing for business ? Sounds like a derogatory term and if so. Why would Blake take out this ad and try and appeal to a group that not everyone wants around ? I can only assume money. And if that's it, then the term must be being used as class envy. Just a thought, talk amongst yourselves.

Hipsters, shicksters, and real cool chicksters....

Lame, fluff piece. Next?

There is some real irony in hipsters getting bent out of shape over real or imagined condescension of "hipsters".

Reminds my of those who "express their individuality" by looking like their friends.

That was what I was wondering!  Guess I am just too old...

This is from about halfway through the article:

"Sir, I'm sorry...we're out of the Extra Medium Affliction T-shirt with the bedazzled demon placing a fiery crown of thorns on an bald eagle that's carrying two skulls in its talons."

Ouch!  That picture of the 'body builder' will haunt me for days!  Just soooo wrong on soooo many levels.

Luckily I have developed a hipster trap

Dunno if I'm hip enough for a Holga.  I may have to settle for the Rolleicord:



I dropped off two rolls of 120 film at Apertures today after discovering them hiding in the refrigerator.  Dunno what could be on them, but that will be revealed next week.

*phew* I thought I was a hipster there for a minute.

No surprise, but I don't even come close to qualifying as a hipster.

Well educated - yes.
Free space on Hipster Bingo - yes.

Remaining - no.

(My haircut may be out of the 60s but it's not Jagger style.)
