A seriously interesting article on the 'Sociology of the Hipster'. The article breaks down the hipster hierarchy into three distinct socioeconomic groups: liberal arts college grad hipster, trust fund hipster and my personal favourite the couch-surfing, old-clothes wearing hipster. No one wants to be called a hipster, but I love reading pseudo-intellectual NYT articles about hipsters, I don't know what that makes me; let's not talk about it.
'Both groups, meanwhile, look down on the couch-surfing, old-clothes-wearing hipsters who seem most authentic but are also often the most socially precarious — the lower-middle-class young, moving up through style, but with no backstop of parental culture or family capital. They are the bartenders and boutique clerks who wait on their well-to-do peers and wealthy tourists. Only on the basis of their cool clothes can they be “superior”: hipster knowledge compensates for economic immobility.'
Just started watching Lip Service tonight, already hooked. Why is Frankie so hot? Also secondly and hilariously, I changed my Facebook status to 'is watching Lip Service on the day of the birth of Christ. Thank you Jesus!' and all my mom's Christian friends 'liked' it, so awkward, I guess they don't know it's a show about gasp! Lesbians! Oh the irony.
Had a rather exciting sex dream about Lindsay Lohan last night, probably because I watched this clip before I went to bed. Is it wrong I find her coked out mannerisms rather enticing and likable? *It's clip #4 on the link, although I recommend you watch them all, they are all highly enjoyable.
She & Him - Home. You're the nicest, nicest boy girl I've ever met And then I think about you, then I think about you again and again Why don't we just sit and stare and do nothing? Nothing at all for a while, I like the way you smile
I could be your state and I could be your nation It doesn't get better than home, now does it? Doesn't get better than home, now does it? I could be your welcome, I could be your greeter I could be sweet and I could be sweeter I want to be where your heart is home
