meh. the term 'hipster', or at least it's use as a derogatory term says more about the person that uses it than it says about the person it is directed at.

You have got to be kidding. Is there any universe in any dimension when any of that could be remotely appealing or desirable?

Never have I been so pleased to be old and out of it!

The character Cosmo Kramer on Seinfeld was described as a " dufus hipster" iirc by Jerry

"hipster dufus"

and the term hipster is so overused it has lost all meaning.

that flannel pic posted by MH only reminds me of SW&D circa 2006

can we get back to posting shoes and calling everyone uncles and nephews and neglecting to use the spoiler tags

Herb Coen was an original. Great writer and defined and reflected San Fran.

'Hipster' looks have definitely changed over the years. I do not recall a time in the past where it was ever a 'lumberjack' look like it is today. 

It was things like greased back hair and black leather jackets, then later, bell bottoms and long hair. 

The lumberjack look seems fairly recent.

You guys ever hear of grunge?

thank you

could anyone post a fit pic of a #8 straight tip blucher (model 2160), preferably with jeans or casual pants? google image search turns up a pic of mac wearing some with corduroys that looks great, but would like another angle.

anecdotal evidence on the aberdeen i've seen - wider heel and narrow toe box... correct? 9D plaza = 9D aberdeen?

nephew,

I see the Meta - nerd trending a bit on tv and such. And I really feel for those girls with the chest tats which only serve to enrage parents and ruin a good set of t*ts.

After getting the 60,000$ fine art degree, two grand + on ink is a cost to benefit decision that may not attract the best mate.

Quote worthy methinks. Classic stuff.
