Painful or Hip?
Painful.
I’m sure when you stood in front of the mirror, you thought you were fulfilling every boys’ Gilligan’s Island porn-flick fantasy. The flowers in your hair only help accentuate the Fisher-Priciness of your boobs. And you still shop at Wal-Mart.
***
Hip.
How hot is it to pair a black knit minidress with a white button up tunic and brown suede boots? Add the banjo and you’d cause Brad Pitt to start scuffing his boots in the sand. And you don’t even care. You’re too busy singing the songs of the fjord in the fog. Got no boobs? Use that grand for a banjo.
***
Painful.
I guess I should give you the benefit of the doubt that you were maybe thinking “Betty Page: Hot, Mr. Rogers: Hot. What if I was ironic and combined the two?” But this outfit looks like you’re going to interview for the regional manager position at Hot Topic. Or the receptionist position at the Scientology Book Room. Either way you’ll finally get laid. By Xenu.
***
Hip.
The fact that you’re wearing a stone wash, high-waisted jean skirt these days makes you look simultaneously daring and effortless. The only thing that would make you more daring is if you tried to ride that bike in that skirt.
80’s in irony: OVER.
80’s in earnest: classic.
Finally making a huffy bike look cool: priceless.

Awww you’re making me afraid to post in wardrobe_remix. the whole point of that group is to be nice about people’s outfit choices or to not say anything at all. i believe it’s even in the group rule list. imagine how that woman with the red hair would feel if she saw this here.

It’s funny how some people don’t realize their opinions mean jack shit. I see you have a common form of generic tastes which are, believe it or not, as generic as the chick who supposedly shops at Wal-Mart. You’re a reactionary hipster. Big deal. (Deny it all you want, nobody wants to admit to being a “hipster”– at least, not in actual verbalization)

In my mind, if you wear a fishnet top: you’re asking people to comment on your boobs. Don’t put yourself out there unless you’re ready to be criticized. Good fashion can only exist with an element of humor and risk.
I guess that makes me the evil twin!
And I’m half as mean and half as funny as these guys: http://viceland.com/int/dd.php?id=50&country=us
So those of you that have a sense of humor should check it out!

Here’s a “verbalization”…
I’m a hipster, I ain’t afraid to say it. Are you afraid to say it Nate? Is that what this is about? How guilty you feel about your wanna-be avant-lifestyle and your search for meaningful human contact via comments on blogging boards? Or am I wrong? Are you in fact an “actionary anti-hipster” who patrols the internet in search of reactionary bullys. Wherever there are porn stars with feelings hurt, that’s where you’ll find…super-anti-hipster!
If this is true, and you are a super hero, then wow, what clothes do you wear? I’ll bet they’re hot. Post them on flickr, I promise I won’t say anything.
(Fingers crossed)
My reality is, I’m a gal who doesn’t have a lot of money and I dig the clothes these chicks put on their site. I also find this post funny. Keep up the good work ladies. And when you get a chance - find a picture of me on flickr and make fun of my terry cloth jumpsuit. I promise I won’t cry.
The fact that everyone’s opinion means jack shit is what makes fashion and blogging fun in the first place. The moment we treat this as something sacred is the moment the joy of the internet dies.

Holy crap those are nice tits! I almost don’t care they aren’t real. ‘Course I would never in a million years bring a girl like that home to meet the fam.

I don’t see what the big deal about the girl in the red top is. She’s beautiful. Anyone to say otherwise is jealous. (I’m jealous of her midriff I’ll just confess.)
As far as the way she is dressed…..she’s at an adult con of some sort so it would be appropriate I’m sure.
