Hipster Fuck, hipster fuck, everyones a hipster fuck... including me. I'm not that bad with it, but I must admit there are times when I get embarrassed for myself for looking so ridiculous. Sometimes when I see people outfitted in the gear—it looks like they purchased a hipster kit and followed the instructions from beginning to end—I wonder What Were They Like Two Years Ago? I met Natalie at a party. Really nice girl but so affected. I mean when she introduced herself to me she pronounced her name Nha-tha-lee. (Um,  you are not from France and your name is spelled just as it should be pronounced.) She was telling stories of hanging in Williamsburg with some indie bands, her hair cut was asymmetrical, every item of clothing had studs on it, and she claimed she skated. The whole time I smiled, but inside I was dying.

Hipster Lovin'

I have to admit that I have a love hate relationship with Mr. Alexander Wang. I love his easy to wear clothing but at the same time it has become ultra hipster gear—which I kinda hate, but love. Am I a hipster? No. Do I dress like a hipster sometimes? Yes. Do I chill in the LES? Not unless I'm invited. A Wang, (Don't you think he looks like a pretty girl?) does wonders with contemporary clothing. His Spring 2010 collection was on point. Very well constructed and had an idea behind it that was so Americana—football. Besides his cutout dresses and perfectly fitted sweatshirt tops, it was his shoes that caught my eye. I want them so bad. I would even risk being called a hipster for them... I know {shaking head} I know.

Wild Child

Katie is crazy. She always looks like she just woke up after sleeping for two hours from a long night out. Her hair is always knotted up, her mascara is always running, and her outfits look like they've been put together on a whim. This look can be carried by some, especially those who have a sense of "not taking things to far." But Katie always takes things to far, which is the reason why she is loathed by some and adored by few. But this time around, Crazy Katie got it right with these rubber and shearling shoes. What? Sometimes lowbrow looks good.
