Please, God, Let 2014 Be The Year We Retire The Word Hipster.
“Hipsters have tattoos. Have you been to the beach lately? Apparently there are tons of overweight 45-year-old Puerto Rican hipsters named Angel who like to blast Pitbull from their boomboxes and have terrible photorealistic tattoos of their infants.
Hipsters love Instagramming everything. Yeah and so do my 14-year-old cousins and 150 million other users who think they’re amateur photographers because they can use a Valencia filter.
Hipsters like brunch. OK, who the fuck doesn’t like brunch? Brunch is delicious. Brunch includes eggs and pancakes and bacon and I’ll be damned if I’m going to stand here and have bacon’s good name dragged down to this level.”
One of the top trending tattoos of 2013: watercolor paintings. These are so incredibly and beautifully done-standing ovation the artists that produce them. Wonder what’s next for 2014.
The Montauk Lighthouse in Montauk of Long Island, New York.
I grew up on Long Island, New York, and as a result, Montauk was a frequent destination for little trips. It is my favorite place to be on Long Island, and that place will always be with me no matter where I go.
