This bingo game has taken the hipster cliche to the next level. I'm esspecially amused by "uber-hot asian hipster" (I took a Rural Sociology class once which for some reason was full of trendy asians...random I know.) I also like 8-foot tall guy, and 4-foot tall girl. This is probably the game my generation will playing in our future retirement homes.
Trendhunter Magazine recently ranked the Top 9 Redneck Innovations. These crowning achievements in Hillbilly living range from a pick-up truck turned into a redneck limo, to an ad campaign titled "Machine Guns for Kids." However, the pride of Appalachia is the epic structure referred to as the "Redneck Mansion." The mansion is comprised of several trailers and RVs stacked, piled, and connected in anyway possible. Who knew that one man's trailer trash was another man's treasure?
My brother told me about an online retailer which makes products based on plays on words/puns. Being the pun lover that I am, I went to the website to browse their merchandise and came across this unsightly product called the "Calf & Half". This might be taking that whole country style a little too far. I've seen kitchens decked out with pig shaped salt and pepper shakers, cow baskets, and chicken wall paper...but never have I seen an udder shaped pitcher. Essentially its just a slightly more tasteful version of those boob mugs you can buy at gift shops in Myrtle Beach.
If Jenny Lewis & The Watson Twins and the Ditty Bops procreated, their child would sound a lot like She & Him. She & Him is an up-and-coming music duo showcasing the talents of M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel (yes, the girl from "Elf"). I didn't immediately take to their debut album "Volume One" but after a complete listen, I am hooked. For all you Columbus dwellers, they are playing a show at the Wexner Center on August 4th. To have a listen, here is their myspace.
