HIPSTER RUNOFF » Agyness Deyn

Flags are metaphors worth protecting.

Carles — Thu, 14 May 2009 03:09:20 +0000

I was looking at pictures of hotties, and then I ‘got kinda pissed.’ I hadn’t felt an emotion in such a long time. Had been feeling ‘numb’ and shit. But then got ‘enraged.’

Saw these two laggards laying around on my flag. This is America. This is our flag.

I feel ‘fucking enraged’ that some1 would deface my flag like that. I feel like this is what people in Iraq and Iran do whenever George W. Bush makes bad foreign policty.

It rlly offends me 2 see some super model/it-girl wearing our flag as a muu muu to a meaningful music festival. I know that fashion is metaphorical, but I don’t think u should be allowed 2 wear a flag-shirt unless ur American, and unless it is [via Old Navy].

srsly think that this is a metaphor for the economie. Feel like young people are ‘lazy’ and ‘don’t give a shit about the economie.’ This is like Generation Y, hangin out, layin around on Old Glory.

I think that the British flag might actually be a ‘fashion statement.’

Sort of scared that the South will rise again [via Radical Christian bros who buy guns at Walmart]

I think it’s kewl that even ‘the dark side’ of the world is a lil bit nationalistic. Think that we should limit their levels of ‘patriotism’ so that it doesn’t cause terrorism.

Yall. I’ve been feeling really down lately. Just like ‘fuck everything’ and feelings like that. I decided that if u don’t care about any thing, ur life will never be meaningful. Even though it is cliched, u have 2 FEEL something. U can’t just go through life thinking that everything is a big joke. U have 2 take stuff seriously so that u don’t implode.

It’s okay to take stupid stuff seriously. Sometimes that makes life fun. Think I’m gonna change my ways and rally around America/God/bad ass mp3s/ ‘the scene’.
What do yall believe in? What do yall do 2 get out of ruts?

I was looking at pictures of hot alt tween chicks, and I noticed that this altbroad looked a lot like one of my favourite alternative celebrities. Can yall guess who she looks like?

She is famous 4 wearing top hats
She sings the song “I Kissed a Girl and I Liked it, Yall.”
She was in the hit reality show The Osbournes.
It may or may not be “The Uffie.”
She sings the song “Just Dance.”
It might be Alice Glass as a blonde, but I’m not sure.
She was on the show The Simple Life

WHO DO YALL THINK IT IS?

WHITE PRSN OR MINORITY?

Carles — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 17:09:14 +0000

Yall. Isn’t it kinda weird how we judge so many things based on the colour of people’s skin? Kinda like how when a brown-tinted man walks by u on a busy street and u have to hold ur purse tighter so that they don’t steal ur money and iPhones. In this HRO gimmick, u r asked 2 judge WHO WORE IT BETTER, but also keep in mind how you feel about racial issues. Do yall prefer when the white-skinned person wears it or when the darker person wears it?

WHICH ALTCELEB WEARING THE ZANY DRESS DO YALL LIKE MORE?
Please justify your answer in order to receive 100 HRO Rewards Program Points.

For example…
“The White Prsn (Aggy) is more authentic cuz she is a real model and makes things look the way that the designer intended.’

or “I don’t like the Missing.In.Action. because she has direct links to terrorist cells and she sold out to mainstream rap.”

or “I don’t like either, yall! such a dumb dress and I can’t believe yall use so many racial issues 2 judge people. My President is Black.”

What do yall think?
Do yall know if Urban Outfitters is gonna release this dress in 2k15? [Equal Rights 4 All AltSkanks]

I was looking at the internet, and noticed that this alt looked a lot like a famous alt. Not sure if it is actually her, or just a ‘copycat’ type of personal brand hijacker. Do yall think it’s keut?

Try 2 guess who she looks like, yall.
I’ll give yall a few hints:

She was a former it-girl from the year 2k7.
She’s married to the lead singer of the Strokes.
She won America’s Next Top Model
She has pierced nips and wears zany hats
It’s not Uffie.
It’s not Karen O
It’s not Anne Curry/Katie Couric/Meredith Viera
She has built her ’sexie brand’ by being a lil bit androgynous and ‘have a boy-like zeitgeist’
Not sure if I’m getting people confused, but I think she was in “Boys Don’t Cry” with Hillary Swank
She’s in a band
She is talented, but her time as a relevant altMeme might be over

If yall guess who it is, yall will be entered into a drawing to win a Macbook or the progressive fashion magazines in the picture. Good luck and I’ll be liveblogging the Oscars tonight!

I miss my entry level alt daughter. Love, Cool Aloof Dad

Carles — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 07:58:54 +0000

Kinda weird how we represent more than just ‘ourselves.’ Personal branding goes way beyond basic shallow stuff. We’re all part of society.

These lyrics are s000 true. No matter how much some1 looks like an alt/mainstream celeb, u always gotta remember that they are somebody’s daughter/son. Let’s get vulnerable/raw/real.

Just felt like posting a meaningful meme.

Is there n e thing left 2 blg abt?

Carles — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 23:12:43 +0000

Have I seen everything?
Have I discovered authenticity?
Has every original meme in the world been made?
Will music ever get better, or did it already peak in the 60s/70s/80s/90s/00s/bloghouse?
What happens if the hypemachine ‘breaks down’/shuts down?
Has every alt worn every type of zany accessory there is to wear?
Has the party pic industry ‘peaked’?
Am I more/less than ‘just another snarky blg’?
What is gonna happen when the facehunter loses his will 2 hunt faces?
Should I turn into a krappie ‘news blog’ now that I have ‘advertising’?
What do u want from HRO?
Should I stop blggng?

///help////

Can I die and go to heaven now that I have seen a Green Aggs an Ham DJ set?

(miss yall)

Should I be a gurle 4 Halloween?

Carles — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 17:44:47 +0000

Yall. I was just wondering if I should ‘cross dress’ for Halloween. It might be a good way for me to ‘get in touch with my sexualitie.’ I’m just trying to search for a costume that let’s people know about my true personal brand by conveying a temporary personal brand that sort of tells people that my true personal brand is ’smart, connected, & self-aware.’

Or should I be Chewbacca/a yeti for Halloween?

[photo via Style Blog]

Or should I stick 2 my original idea of being Justice for Halloween?

I’m so confused, yall.

Choosing a Halloween Costume is more difficult than choosing the person that I want 2 b every other day of the year. Halloween is just a few blog-hours away. Help. Plz.

Alice Glass = Agyness Deyn + a hint of darkness

Carles — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 23:52:00 +0000

I remember Alice Glass used to always have a ‘goth highschool girl with no fashion sense’ haircut/personal brand.

In this picture, she looks like she got a makeover that helps her bring out her natural alt beauty. (Natural Alt beauty is easier to attain than mainstream natural beauty.)

Don’t yall think she looks like a Bizzarro Agyness now?

Are there any other Alt-Evil Twins?
Which 1 would u be in a relationship with/which1 would u tug off to if you were an entry level alt?

Does getting a little boy haircut automatically make u look like Agyness Deyn?

XX BONUS POSSIBLE ALT EVIL TWIN SET XX

The Teenagers & Justice = AltEvil Twins?
