Have you seen these? I've seen them hanging off the arm of some of those. It feels like a costume party and their clothes are wearing them. But when I go back over in my head how fashion has evolved I must admit it's nice to see them putting clothes on; interesting trend.

Oh good god. The rockabilly girls. A while back we used to hang w a burlesque crowd as the wife was performing. She was in a show in Vegas and I went along for the ride. I have never seen a bigger bunch of losers in my life. For some reason, they have this incredible reverence for several washed up but still alive burlesque performers from the 50s. So half the show are 70 year old women (or older) prancing around doing costume changes. It was a perfect mash up of "Whatever Happened To Baby Jane" and "Gypsy". It also reminded me of Polly Bergen in the Sopranos singing happy birthday mr. President.

But the worst part were that the crowd, 30 something hipsters, was going wild! It was as if it was the most erotic thing they ever saw while an octogenarian bumped and grinded. This idiots were standing n their seats doing elaborate wolf whistles while wearing zoot suits. I had to get the fuck out of there. They spend so much time on their doo's that they are loath to wash. So there is this overwhelming pomade and rose stench - worse than Russia in the 70's.

Oh, and the conversations. How can you, as a man, talk so much about your hair and pomade? Grrrrr.

It was the last time I put myself among them. I am pretty sure that this shit is dying anyway but I expect that California and NY have most of the extant population.

Still, cute dress as long as it is not in a context of something awful.

Theyre everywhere around here. I'm ok with them. Theyre usually simple good people. And they make good physical labor workers and soldiers. I noticed the beer thing too..I'm not man enough to be able to grow a beard.

Yeah but it went on to be used by hipsters of many stripes... Maybe not the lumberjack look. We don't get many of them here. They still have beards but there is less flannel and more Carhart.

You are right. They are just normal people. A lot of them are nice. But, I am a dick (regardless of @mr sunshine 's edible intake). I have a deep suspicion of people who try too hard at certain things that has served me well over the years. These guys remind me of the WWII re-enactors that I knew back from the club scene. I liked them. We were friends. But there was no way I could really be comfortable with them as friends knowing that they were going to wake up at six o'clock and don a very carefully recreated nazi outfit. And I want to be clear, they were not racists. The one I am thinking of in particular was Mexican.

There was just too much thought that they put into it. I feel that way about the carefully coiffed beard-men. And, I suspect that their time has come to an end. Never date a woman, or befriend a man, that spends that much time on their makeup n shit.

Lately I am concerned people think that I hate everything. It is not true. I just have high expectations.
