7x7 shenanigans

How Much Does it Cost to Look Like a "Hipster" at Outside Lands?

As Dolly Parton once quipped, “it costs a lot of money to look this cheap.”  And the fashion mavens at 7x7 are taking that to heart with their guide to “looking your best” at Outside Lands' “hipster fashion show” this weekend:

  1. Mayfourteenth Jacob Sunglasses, $200
  2. Forever 21 Patterned Straw Fedora, $12.80
  3. Steven Madden Fringed Leather Crossbody, $48
  4. Madewell Station Sandal, $138
  5. Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20, $43
  6. Alice + Olivia Pam Poncho with Fur Collar, $797
  7. Strutting Flamingo Throw, $58.99

The grand total for this chill ensemble?  $1297.79 (pants not included).

7x7's SanFranlandia can SanFranBlowMe

OMG WHAT? 7x7 has a post up calling for submissions for SanFranlandia, which is their way of ripping off Portlandia and making me want to murder them all at once! 

This comment from some delightful person named “fat wanda” who needs to be my bff is right on:

Really, 7x7? How about a parody of the Marina? Or the FiDi? Or culture that you're actually part of? Because that MIGHT be funny? Maybe?

You're not vegan, you're not bike culture, you don't know these people, and so you're attempts are just lame and embarrassing.

Exactly! You can't make fun of veganism, buying local, composting, backyard bee keeping, brewing kombucha in a bathtub, and plaid shirted bro's who look they're about to go prospect for gold because that's not who YOU are. There are plenty of websites and blogs that can and already do it better than you ever could. So, knock it off. 

You're the pretty girl. You're like Natalie Portman complaining that women aren't allowed to be beautiful and funny*. No, lady, it's just that you are not funny. Know who you are! Shit, funny women aren't cast all the time because they're not pretty, why not help get them roles**? Kristen Schaall should be in everything, and there are a million more like her. Anyway, tangent. Point is: embrace who you are, 7x7, and run more stories about sample sales and recipes for trampatini's. Or, if you want to parody something, why not all the boots on Chesnut street? That's something you know a lot about.

Annnnd: One more time, in case you forget, THIS IS YOU:

    

*And you know her idea of funny is like, a beautiful woman farting on a date. HILARIOUS. 

**Shit, bring them some rolls too, they probably hungry! Not working and shit because they're not pretty. I mean, JESUS.
