A lot of planning and money is invested in the real estate above the fold in the NYT. This movie ad takes up more space than the front page feature photo and has run alongside DNC coverage every day this week.
“Just Because You’re Paranoid Doesn’t Mean They Aren’t Out to Get You”.
Sont les mots qui vont très bien ensemble. You already look strong, so a v-neck dress and shoulder length hair only make you look like a linebacker. A shorter bob and rounded neckline would have rocked. Fire your stylist and lets keep it Jackie O.

As a result of my daily, rigorous cultural research (youtube, facebook & random RSS feeds) I was reminded of a re-occurring theme in Hip-Hop videos of the 1990’s: young brown men running from authority figures: police officers, security guards and other young brown men who posed as perceived or real threats. Did this theme come from the reality of an increased level of crime in the 90’s only to disappear in the streets and on screen in the next decade? A possible link to Freakonomics & Black Swan theories? Or was it just a Director’s aesthetic preference? In either case, what has this theme been replaced by and why? I have an idea of what it has been replaced by therefore, it follows that the artists involved in making these images today are either now very wealthy or no longer interested in reflecting their community’s reality.
in 2006 I went to Glasslands (a venue for emerging NYC bands in Williamsburg formerly know as Glasshouse) for the Ofays reunion show. While the next band was setting up I walked into the back gallery and on the wall I saw a caricature in blue marker of a Black man with big lips, a bone through his nose, holding a chicken leg with an arrow pointing to the drawing connecting it to the word Nigger. At first I was confused, looking for the ironic artistic statement contained therein. I mean, I was in Williamsburg - ground zero for ironic expression, but then it dawned on me that many of the people in the room were Rednecks, dressed as Hipsters. Needless to say, this instructional video would have been very useful at the time.
Hip NYC is getting a bit too xenophobic lately. Recent transplants should understand where they fit into the rich lineage of vanguard White NYC counterculture - the Beat, Hippie, Punk, Grunge and early (circa 1999) Hipster movements were much more fearless.

30ish, came of age in a multicultural 90’s world, sons of Steve Jobs, indicative of Obama’s progressive, wealthy, educated, White, male demographic talked about by the cable media pundits. Rumors of a regime shift, away from a Presidency funded by the old guard oil guys, toward one funded by the ex-hippies and hip nouveau riche tech guys.
Classic documentary on late 70’s Black and Puerto Rican gangs in NYC.
