the great hipster debate

I have this ongoing debate in my head about whether or not to feature rich hipster and it girl types on the blog.

because on the one hand, I roll my eyes thinking about these rich girls who smoke fags like it's a new trend, fill up the pages of nylon, and dress like they're poor while they're drinking chanel 2.5's worth of vodka.

and then i think; hell, sometimes these girls are annoying, and pretentious, but surely it's only their clothes that matter from my point of view as a fashion blogger.

i've brought up what i call "the hipster debate" briefly before, and i didn't really delve into it, but it's really been playing on my mind.

really interested to know what you think on this one. i love scanning the internet to see what the "real people are wearing"; it's my main source of style inspiration; but we're in an age where internet obsessions snowball out of control and it doesn't really seem right that it's so often the cocky kids of rock stars who are put on this high pedestal.

or maybe it's the internet that actually makes these girls appear in an unrealistic light? they pop up on sites like skullset and cobrasnake at parties, but maybe it's simply a case of them being captured at the parties they go to, and it isn't a case of them being these cold creatures who do nothing else with their lives.

share?

Edit: If this doesn't absolutely hit the nail on the head, I don't know what does.. Thanks Notes on Napkins! Case closed?

"I love people who have interesting style who play outside the trend rules... I don't like it when girls who just sit around smoking, hanging out not doing anything become it "girls" when really they are just girls with lots of money no ambition and dress well because thats all they have to do. I think girls who have a back story, something to go along with their style are so much better! Think Erin Wasson ,MK & A, fashion bloggers etc. I just think it so much better than a cory kennedy who looks dead in the eyes... we need more fresh faced hip girls that aren't rolling out of bed hungover reeking like alcohol and throwin on philip lim and being "cool" we need more stylish chicks with ambition!"
