Hipster or Old Lady?

It's a given fact that I'm almost legally blind. Even with contacts, details are blurry at about 25 feet. With that said, here's today siting/post.

I'm standing on the train platform and I see a woman (at least that's my assumption) in a really loud orange, yellow and brown outfit with bleached platinum hair. I realized that since I couldn't see the details of this person's face that I didn't know whether it was an older lady or a hipster. I also had an epiphany that the two groups dress very similarly.

So, I spent the rest of my train ride looking at these two groups; and I'll be damned if my hypothesis wasn't correct. Even their make-up is eerily the same with bright eye shadow, night time lipstick and too much eyeliner.

Do you think that either group knows this? Are the older ladies way cool or are the hipsters deluding themselves?

Talk among yourselves.

Nice Beret

It's been a while since I've posted, but I'm going to get back in the swing. I have a lot of notes, but just haven't been able to make myself compose them into something that resembles the English language.

I work in an extremely casual office. Our dress code is top & bottom. That's it. When there are clients in the office, you are required to wear big kid pants. Other than that, it's open. Tattoos, piercings, whatever goes.

I sit on the train during rush hour wondering what kind of office people work in to wear the clothes that they have on. I see the fully decked out girls that are fashion to a tee. I secretly want to be one of them, but only if someone would make it all happen for me without me exerting any extra effort. Plus I would need a driver to transport me from door to door, so I wouldn't have to walk in those fabulous heels. But I digress.

I finally saw a "subject" that I absolutely cannot figure out what he does or where he is going at 8am. He was a larger bearish (to coin the gay term) man. On any other day, he probably wouldn't have caught my attention at all. But today....

I first noticed the neon pink finger nail polish. My daughter likes the same shade. To match it, he paired a sequined beret of the same color. The rest of the outfit biker chic. Odd on a regular Tuesday morning wouldn't you say?

Although this outfit would technically fit in our office dress code, we would be IMing all day long about wtf is he wearing since I'm not going to ask a large man to his face "Why the sequined hot pink beret today? Feeling a little disco fabulous?"
