I'm kind of surprised they were allowed to watch, as not too long ago the Hasidic community tried to have female bike riders banned from the neighborhood for indecency
As Hannah, in her blue coat and eggplant sweater, stared at the runners, sweating and puffing their way through the city, all she could think was "I am sooo gonna beat all their asses in a few years." #newyorkcitymarathon
The girl in the middle of the left-hand group has a facial expression that fills me with terror and and inspires instant obedience. I know that face. It's Jewish Bish Plz. It says 'Your hat is is inappropriate, and by the way the whole congregation knows you had a bacon sandwich for breakfast.' #newyorkcitymarathon
Some of these comments make me think that maybe not everyone is aware of how Hasidic people dress? I grew up in NY near one of the largest Hasidic communities in the US, so I'm always thrown off when someone gapes at Hasidic people, or asks if they're Amish. #newyorkcitymarathon
@EarlyGrey:
I read the comments below and didn't get that at all. I think people were mainly noting how cute and put together all these girls look. #newyorkcitymarathon
In an attempt to thwart their lunch money getting stolen, these girls have adopted P. Diddy's new line of Urban Camouflage, allowing them to blend into nearby graffiti and storefronts. #newyorkcitymarathon
I walked by this, and I have to say alll of the teeny tiny little girls in giant feather skirts and sequins and such made my uterus hurt. They just all looked like they were having the best damn time ever. And they KNEW how painfully adorable they were. If the kids on toddlers&tiaras looked half as into it as those girls I would never say another word against child pageants.
Why assume that hipsters aren't hitting the gym? They probably are, just balancing it out with extra vegan protein shakes, so that they are healthy and have some "meat on their bones", as a 1950's grandma would say. People can be be "pudgy" (to use another grandma-ism) and still be hitting the gym.
As far as the schlub-with-hottie trend goes, this may be unrelentingly sexist and cruel, but I find that there are a plethora of beautiful women who are also very nice, while similarly attractive gentlemen - not all hot guys, mind you, but the drop-dead beautiful ones - tend to be huge whanging dickheads.
Soon, hipsters will start voting for Republicans. Because it's "ironic." (And also, estate tax reform could potentially seriously erode their inheritance and then they won't be able to afford their cool lifetsyles anymore. Plus, free trade with Colombia means more cocaine smuggling opportunities.)
@morninggloria: sometimes I want to steal your witty comments and post them as my own status updates on facebook, but then my few Jez fb friends would know and I would be lamer than I am just not being as witty as you. Which is all to say: you're amazing.
The Wall Street Journal should focus a little more on, say WALL STREET'S ANTICS and a little less on my body as a woman, in my opinion. They're turning into the damn Daily Mail over there.

It's wonderful to cuddle on, sleep on, poke at, tickle...
He's been losing weight. I'm worried.
