...Kate Nash gives birth to hipster bashing...

okay, i've been off getting married and on a frankly amazing honeymoon, so Brosnan! has been gathering some dust; i'll try and make that up this week

one positive in my absence is that the global self-mocking of the (anti-)fashionista culture continues on a pace and it's all Kate Nash's fault...so at least she has given something positive to pop culture

in reverse chronological order, first (last really) this masterpiece charts from London:



before that we had Honda Australia very cleverly putting the boot in:



both can surely trace their roots to here:



(this is worth a look too)

which was a direct parody of this:



so clearly, it's all her fault. so thanks Kate Nash, good work

by the way, if i've missed anything in the family tree let me know and i'll add it in...i'm clearly not a tw@t completest

before you start. yes, i get a train in from Cambridgeshire, to East London. yes, I do work in media. yes, i do own a bike with one gear. yes, i do own at least one (3) check shirt. yes, the frames of my classes are quite thick. and yes, I did write this micro-thesis on the orgins of this trend without a hint of irony

but in my defense. no, i don't have a 'stache. no, i'm not writing a book about my balls. no, i don't go to warehouse raves. no, i don't play a synthesiser (sp? - answers on a postcard to PO Box who gives a shit E1) and no, I don't care what font the handbook to my car is printed in...or anything else for that matter...as long as it's not Times New Roman...
