Accessorizing With Hair: In your face.

A must have for winter. Hair all up in your face is very popular. I can't believe I didn't call this one out earlier. It's the logical extension to bangs, that is to say: what's next after your bangs have nearly covered most of your eyes? This is what's next-hair all over your face. The messier the better. Hair is a great accessory to body and together body and hair make a great combo.

Not My Face: New Pose: Trend Report

Limited edition faces are trending way up right now. In fact, I believe an artfully hidden face is much hipper than a blandly exposed face. Why show em what you got? Try accessorizing your new look with your hands or some inanimate object blocking your face. Hands are not the only way to pull this one off, try using hair or something nearby, like a kite.

New Finger Pose

This is a great (hip) pose for celebrities. They flip the camera off to say, "stop it, stop hearting me so much I'm just a human." Same goes for children who, like celebs, are surrounded by love and even when they flip you off you still love them. As we get older and less famous we attempt to flip off the world with our fingers and clothing in self aware gestures designed to arouse celebrity-esque connotations. I would love to see a picture of someone taking a picture of someone flipping of the camera.

GM's Electric Car

I don't really want to get into the whole going green thing on this blog because I try not to be too political. I may look very scholarly, but it's only because I am wearing my protective smoking goggles. But I did want to share some really cool hip new electric cars from GM. They must be trying to address growing global concerns about hip-house gasses or something? I heart the living shit out these little fucking electric cars. They are like eco friendly Shriner cars! I can't wait to see if the fixed gear bikes they are working on have cup holders.

Protective Smoking Goggles: Review

Smoking is really hip, no matter what. Yes it kills you but it looks so fucking cool. I have been posting extensively on this trend since the jump. Some say I posted too much on this trend. But some say I haven't posted enough. For a brief history on the trend of Protective Smoking Goggles click here. And just to clarify, the inventor of this trend: still genius, still amazzzing, and we still heart him or her.

I love the wood frames on these PSG's very original

Horns + Fixed Gear Bike

Here are 2 hips for the price of one! Love it when this happens. Luvvvsseess It. It's Amaaazzzing. We all know Fixed Gear Bikes are very hip, and according to the inversion theoryso are horns. Plus if your bike has less gears on it, therefore less technology, it also falls into the inversion theory (and is therefore more hip than a multiple geared bike with shocks lets say.) So here we have horns and bike wonderfully merged into a new mobile form of hipness.

Freedom Porn: 70's and 80's

Stumbled on these amazing images while looking around. I found them truly aspirational. Truly beautiful and truly hip. The late 70's early 80's was a great time for beards and short shorts. Some of these looks can be seen right now walking around in hip havens such as Echo Park. This can be filed under: Quitting Your Job, Kicking Your Computer in its Face, Buying a Bunch of Outdoorsy Stuff at Rose Bowl, Growing a Beard, telling your girl friend to cut her jeans higher so that the pockets fall out of the bottoms and then hitting the road for a National Park. (see inversion theory)

Lean Back: Way Back Pose

This is a great/new, very popular pose. Lean Back, way back. We've all seen the look down pose and I think this is most likely a reaction, a swing, away from that already over saturated pose. I like this pose because it's new and fresh for winter. Also, if it had a sound effect it might sound like "weeee!"

Freedom Porn: Weed + Girl Collabo

There has been some debate about this subject. But I am truly supportive, I stand behind and believe in this trend. Smoke some herb, be a girl, roll one up (a joint is much more alluring) and smoke one. It's fun for winter, it's cozy. Be on trend, light one up. Everybody's doing it: look.

It's Very Blurred: Emerging Trends

Normal face or blurred face? I have been asking myself this question a lot lately. Is It hip to have a face? Or is it hipper to not have a face? I opt for the latter. I believe that rocking no face is going to be a big trend for Spring 2010. You can see some great examples of this emerging look below. Notice the muted tones of flesh, hinting at something beneath. There is nothing beneath but something inside tells you "those might be eyes" and "Is that makeup?"
