All We Do Is Party Photo Exhibit

THESE are the HIPSTERS? I wonder what the un-hip must look like. I live in Seattle now (although I was born in downstate Illinois) and I thought things were tough out HERE! There are just a few things I want to say about what I’ve seen today:

FIRST: PLAID is OVER, people! Try a little creativity, why doncha? What’s wrong with stripes? Or polka dots? Even argyle’s getting tired out already….try paisley, maybe, or flowers (those in the know say that hippie-type garb/psychedelics are coming back again).

SECOND: Ladies: those enormous, huge, insanely mammoth purses are just plain NUTS! They’re cool if you’re out on a walk with the baby and you’ve got no stroller for it, or if you have to haul your puppy around, but….

THIRD: If you’re go for the skinny-lapel suit coat, buy the real thing, and don’t just pick one up at a thrift store.

Oh, man, I’m still blown away by people’s inability to look in the mirror once they’ve latched onto a trend, and take stock of what they really look like….and those poor girls with emaciated legs running around in pseudo-sexy slut outfits? Hell, what’s wrong with breasts? Mom had ’em, and she looked not only healthy but chic! I guess I’ll have to move back to The Windy City, and give tutorials on how not to look like you’ve all been duped by the fashion dictators.

Now THOSE are some kick-ass oversized totes. Suitcases. Totes. Whatever, I love ’em.

Sunglasses inside? No. Party photography = art? No.
