SXSW Hipster Style - a Pictorial Tutorial

Gentlemen:
  • slightly greasy, unkempt hair
  • chains and other metallic accessories
  • tight jeans that accentuate a complete lack of any butt whatsoever
  • ironic t-shirt, again, tightly fitted

Ladies:
  • flowy summer dress
  • cowboy boots
  • huge, no, I mean HUGE earrings
  • extra eye liner
Everyone:
  • disaffected look of boredom and/or counter-cultural superiority
  • tattoos
  • stretched lobes
  • sometimes when feeling extra-specially festive, it may be necessary to bust out the furry, multi-colored go-go boots with matching bikini

Obviously this festival afforded us an inordinate amount of people-watching opportunities, one of my all-time favorite pastimes. It was awesome. But, seriously, I've never seen so many super-skinny boys in my life. Eat something! My sister and I, who unfortunately both inherited the 'ghetto booty' gene, have enough to go around. We were walking around trying to find one decent visible butt amongst all these hipster boys but, realizing the utter futility, soon gave up. After abandoning our search, my sister turns to me and says, "You know, between the two of us, we could probably ass 5 or 6 of these guys." And you know what, it's so true.
