AWE.SOME. I would love if clothing catalogues came with cartoon and comic book character's body's. It would be so much easier for those of us with eyes on rotating wheels to have a real idea of what the cloths would look like on us. AMIRITE?
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.
Remember movies in the 70s, when Diane Keaton and Karen Black and Shelly Duvall passed for female leads and everyone looked more or less normal? And movies had depressing endings and everyone had sort of yellow teeth and the everyday man was glorified (Coal Miner's Daughter, Five Easy Pieces, Annie Hall, Midnight Cowboy, Easy Rider, Willy Wonka...).
What ever happened to those movie stars? I want them back. I want back famous people who still had flaws and men who didn't always have six packs. Because if guys who aren't super-thin is headline news, I think the standards we use to judge ourselves by has gotten WAY off track.
@rixatrix: i dunno...i think keaton, black and duvall's faces looked normal...not everything was botoxed and pulled and veneered to perfection, but those ladies were rail thin, make no mistake about it.
@rixatrix: I saw Karate Kid on tv a few months ago and was struck by how pretty, but normal Elisabeth Shue looked. It was refreshing. Would love to see that come back.
@Leigh: This is a funny coincidence, because I was watching The Karate Kid this weekend, too, and noted how normal-looking all the kids were-- today there's no chance that the "cool" kids having a bonfire on the beach wouldn't have spray tans and veneers.
@Jack_Burton: i think it could be a fair assumption that since the nationwide smoke-out campaigns to stop smoking, 25/30 years ago, everybody has gained weight.

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

Everyday people - that should be the new trend.
