Homeless vs Hipster

I hope everyone was able to have a good Halloween despite the devastating ‘Frankenstorm’ Sandy for those on the East coast.
Here’s what ‘Not David Cross‘ had to say about Halloween on Twitter last night:
One Sad Bastard @OneSadBastard
Not going out tonight, because I work tomorrow, and am a grown-ass man
Hilarious.
Another friend from Twitter…Ricky Gervais…reminded me that it’s ‘Movember‘ 1st (“mo” slang for mustache + November). 
For those not familiar with the term. November 1st starts the annual, month-long event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of prostate cancer and other male cancer initiatives. Click on the link to learn more.
There are a few rules to participate:
Hipsters love mustaches, so this should be a ‘no-brainer’ event.
As stated in The Hipster Commandments:
You must have facial hair. For men, a beard or a mustache shows your experience in life. For hipsters, it shows your experience with being “in the know.” The handle bar mustache, the grizzly beard, post five o’clock shadow scruff and the pedophile mustache make all the girls swoon.
Just read on BetaBeat.com about a website called Styleblaster.net
It was made by Jules Laplace, the technology director for OkFocus. What it is…is a site that takes real-time pictures of people (hipsters) walking the streets of Brooklyn, New York. The camera is set-up in his apartment and takes a photo whenever someone passes by his window and instantly posts it to the site. Viewers of the site can click on a top-hat icon to vote whether the person is ‘styleblasting’ or not. His goal with the website is…“It’s an egalitarian take on streetstyle,” he said. “There’s more to Williamsburg than hipsters and rich ex-Manhattanites. Everybody has their own style, and our site celebrates that.”
The camera is located a block from the Bedford Ave. L train. It seems some people are already aware of the camera because they are hiding their faces or ‘flipping the bird’.
It’s very addictive to watch.
