When I grow up into the alt that I will one day be, I want to have a cut of hair in the shape of a spacious mixing bowl, with a well-defined plane of man bangs. (Sorry yall–still just trying 2 trendhunt a lot in 2k9. Not sure if I’m going to convert my progressive 1999 Caesar cut into a bowl cut just yet).
This bro is me.
This browl cut is me.
The bowl on my head is my hair.
These are my man bangs–they are functional
/// keeping the bowl out of my eyes.
/// and my metaphorical ‘head’ held ‘high.’
XX BONUS PHOTOGRAPHER BRO XX

I am a photographer bro
in a sea of alts
Searching for
meaningful images
to capture 4evr
While I don’t believe in G-d
or an afterlife
I kind of believe in souls
because I capture something when I take pictures
Learned how to hack the web
and build a site
that is web 1.0
making it more authentic than web 2.0 bullshit
These are my dreams
to one day become a relevant photographer
for magazines
and blogs
and nightlife
and life
and pix of my bffs
with a valuable site
that people fly me to ‘cover’
In 10 years, you will look back on my website
and it will be kind of like a relevant cultural museum
kinda like
the graveyard that is myspace

@PYTITZ,
Pashmina is a type of silk. It’s Indian, not palestinian. They were big here in Toronto last winter.

@bdfbadga, i have no problem with nakedness, guys or ladies, it’s taht the guy looks like a retarded mook, especially in the frame where he’s pressing his open mouth against the transparent pink fabric like he’s sucking an invisible dick. The naked girl is doing no such things.
