Shoulderache and PJD -- you guys crack me up! I agree, ironic and edgy is key!
- Cover yourself in temp tattoos (full sleeve is best).
- Thick-framed glasses that say, "I am deep and intellectual", a la Lisa Loeb.
- Chucks or Doc Martens
- Low-rise skinny jeans
- Black tank-top (that showcases your full sleeve of loud and garish tattoos)
- FEDORA!!!!
- Messenger bag decorated by buttons that have green-friendly slogans, and pretentiously obscure indie rock bands
- Those dangly silver chain thingies which connect your keys to your belt loop. Keys go in your pocket.
- PALE SKIN, dark lips
- Nose ring
- Green or fuschia skunk stripes in your hair.
We have TONS of "hipsters" here in the Mission District of San Francisco...and the common denominator is always, ALWAYS, always the fedora. It's like part of the uniform. Hubby and I always compete to see who can count the most fedoras when we're walking through the neighborhood.
