I don’t understand what the big deal about Agyness Deyn is. A lot of blogs and magazines say she is super kute, and she is a fashion icon, but I don’t really know how to appreciate stuff like that.
When it comes to be anointed as an “it girl,” I wonder how you stay driven to overcome the simplicity of the label. For example, you could either be a Cory Kennedy and turn into a t-shirt vendor and blogger. Or maybe you can be like Chloe Sevigny, and get involved in some critically acclaimed movies, like the one where she falls in love with the girl who is trying to be a guy.
I think another strategy for “it” girls is to die [via overdose]. I think when alternative celebrities die young, we are all left wondering “what the world will be like without them to influence culture.” Sort of like with Heath Ledger, except “it” girls aren’t always that talented.
“I don’t understand why one girl can be so special. All alternative slutz look the same to me.”

But seriously.
Doesn’t she remind you of your local alternative community’s hippest-looking, and most well-dressed girl who has a d-bag boyfriend (who is either kind mainstream and rich, or works in the coffee shop industry while pursuing his masters). Every one drools all over her, but no one really talks to her because she only has a few friends. Then some one gets to know her, and they find out she isn’t even that culturally-aware, and she only listens to something like the Kings of Leon, and last week she found out about Bat For Lashes. All of the other girls in her facebook network always end up looking at her profile and her weird pictures, but every one wonders why she only has 32 friends.

Last weekend (in a response to me cutting all of my hair off three weeks ago) my friend told me I looked like Agyness Deyn. I just found out about Bat For Lashes last summer and I really don’t have many friends?

carles, your description of deyn is a picture-perfect description for a certain semi famous IT GIRL that will remain nameless, right down to kings of leon and facebook.
most of the time I think you’re a douchebag, but there are some days when I think you’re jesus fucking christ. kinda the same thing I suppose.

being transgendered is a bit more complicated than just ‘trying to be a guy’
you can’t always spew your dumb misconceptions all over the place under the guise of ‘irony to raise awareness about how people are ignorant’
you should write a post about how so many alt people who pretend to be queer-conscious turn out to be self-centered biggots/faggots
Reply
of course alt ppl are self-centered somehow.. for what other reason should they put so much energy in looking different ?? but I´m cool with it.

hpstrs are probably da most self-centered people you’re gonna meet. minus those housewives who used 2 be cheerleaders and pretend 2 be conservative in high school.
if there was a pie chart detailing the amount of ego-centrism in the world hpstrs would get in least 30% of it. housewives get about 40.
