Is That Blood on Your Skinny Jeans? Hipsters Kill And Are Killed in New Novel.
By Alexis Swerdloff
I just got a copy of Rayo Casablanca's new novel 6 Sick Hipsters, out in April, that follows a group of hipsters dubbed "Williamsburg's reigning elite." According the press release, "Collectively, they're the arbiters of taste for every vinyl-loving Gap-spurning, thrift store regular in town, but lately someone has been laying waste to Brooklyn's uber-hipsters, dispatching them in gruesome fashion." It continues... "Before the week is over, they'll be up to their skinny-jean waists in mayhem, manipulataion, contract killers, raw sewage, and murderous monkeys. Something is rotten in the state of Billyburg, and the last hipsters standing will discover just how rotten it really is." We did a quick skim-through, and spotted references to Barcade, a WWJJD (What Would Joan Jett Do?) T-shirt and a hat with the words "sick hipster" embroidered on it. I say, kill 'em all! Though not that cute monkey on the cover! Don't kill him!
Also, the Six Six Sick girls TOTALLY need to DJ the book party. Just a suggestion!

Mr. Mickey Takes on Paris Fashion Week: Air India, Hipster Airline of Choice?
By Mickey Boardman
Could Air India be the unofficial airline of Paris Fashion Week?
OK, Mr. Mickey flew good old Air France to Paris but it seems Air India is the carrier of choice for hipsters. They haven't been working the NYC to Paris route for long but rock bottom prices, scrumptious cuisine and reportedly charming service are helping to make Air India the toast of gay (and straight) Paree!
