Yes spring is here. The weather is getting warmer as you read this. It's getting to the point where the hipsters must pull their scarves and wool hats out of their closets. Us natives can't even begin to understand why the hipster does this. The only logical answer is once again, IRONY. A word that has no meaning anymore thanks to the hipster. So remember, as we begin to approach the scorching hot days of summer in the city and you start looking for the lightest most comfortable clothes you can find to wear, rest assured that tons of ironic poseurs will be trying to match their scarves and wool hats with their $150 pre-paint stained pants and shoes. |

I can smell them through the computer.

Hopefully there will be a large hipster recall once the economy full implodes and mommie and daddy can't afford to foot the bill for the vacation.

Yeah I had been noticing the Arabian looking scarves recently. Great another reason for the terrorists to hate us. Effeminate clones co-opting their clothing for heretical use. Thanks Hipsters.
These pics are great, they are such clones. These guys scream uniqueness, especially with their "unique" asian girlfriends.

Because of the rise of various online photo-blog and social networking sites, insights into urban hipster culture is reaching sheltered suburban audiences at an exponential rate. Cultural "norms" have been deconstructed by hipster culture as a whole and thus is effecting widespread changes in society. In a sense, hipsterism is the new mainstream, and that has led to feelings of insecurity and resentment in people who are no longer a part of the cultural ruling class. For example, a lot of anti-hipster sentiment evidently comes from "tough guy" macho types who feel that the more sensitive, intelligent, and culturally aware hipster ideal threatens their insecure sense of masculinity. Anti-hipster sentiment often comes from people who simply can't keep up with social change and are envious of those who can. Remember...you can always rate the amount of insecurity someone has by the amount they rant about hipsters.

Trey, so you are the douchebag and douchebag defender who keeps copy and pasting someone elses philosophy on Craigslist every time you see a hipster rant? Damn buddy, you are the true loser. Trey honestly, you must be involved in some sort of art or music thing right? Ask your self, "Will I really ever MAKE IT?" Just get a real job like the rest of us and deal with it.

Maybe Trey is a Hipster-Bot. I mean, one of those bearded fucks must know something about programming, right?

Yeah, what's with the asian girlfriends, anyway? I always wondered about that.
"Mannequin", I've had the same thought, that maybe the upcoming depress... umm, I mean "economic slowdown" will help to purge some of these douchebags from our fair city.

This post fills me with a joyful sense of validation. I cannot fathom this scarf phenomenon and why it continues to assail my eyes whenever I walk outside.

The keffiyeh, for the clueless, is the traditional scarf of Arab men that has come to symbolize murderous Palestinian jihad. Popularized by Yasser Arafat and a regular adornment of Muslim terrorists appearing in beheading and hostage-taking videos, the apparel has been mainstreamed by both ignorant (and not so ignorant) fashion designers, celebrities and left-wing icons.
Sigh. You all know I’ve been a fan of Dunkin Donuts for quite some time–and have touted their strong position in favor of immigration enforcement.
Charles Johnson notes, and many readers have e-mailed about, Dunkin Donuts’ spokeswoman Rachel Ray’s clueless sporting of a jihadi chic keffiyeh in a recent DD ad campaign. I’m hoping her hate couture choice was spurred more by ignorance than ideology.
Is Ray’s blunder worth boycotting DD over? I’ll be interested to hear the company’s take. At this point, I’m going to give the management the benefit of the doubt. They have braved boycott threats and attacks over their lonely, principled stance against illegal immigration. Given their pro-rule of law, America first position, I highly doubt the executive offices are filled with moonbats who endorse Ray’s keffiyeh chic.
While we’re on the subject of donuts, I highly recommend a visit to The Fractured Prune if you’re lucky enough to have one in your neighborhood. (Check here.) I took my newly-minted preschool graduate to the one in Towson to celebrate this morning.
They specialize in hot, hand-dipped, made-to-order donuts that are pure heaven.
Yummmmmm.
No politics. Just sticky, sweet goodness fresh from the oven:
