Baby Hipsters

Hey Everyone!
I decided that the internet needs another hipster photo blog and have created “Baby Hipsters“.
Babies are hipsters too and their voices need to be heard!
I would love for you all to participate, but I definitely don’t need feedback. I already know that this is a stupid, half-ass idea and I don’t need you reminding me of that.
Wait, I do need feedback, but just nothing mean, ok? My delicate ego can’t handle it.
If you’d like to submit a hipstery-looking photo of yourself as a toddler or of your own kid, please email me at [email protected]
Please join in!
Here is a taste of what the website will look like:

Lou thought that going to the Kenny Loggins show would be “ironic”, but ultimately left the concert feeling sad and confused.

Sandra was torn on whether a $60 Jean-Paul Gautier dress in Spanish Mustard from Target was actually a good investment.

Telling her friends and family that it was a “social experiment”, Tami quit her job as an editorial assistant and tried forging a new movement of “young, creative, urbanite hookers” in hopes of landing a book deal.

Tom was still steaming over his father’s suggestion to move home after pointing out that his attempt at paying off his debt by sending cookies to the creditors was not working.

Jesse figured that going into the Scientology Center near campus and taking a stress test would make for excellent fodder for her blog the next day. Little did she expect they would haunt her dreams.

Barely able to stand up on his own, Danny finally admitted to friends in a drunken haze that he drinks wine coolers and thinks Fleetwood Mac is the greatest band that’s ever lived.

Lauren decided at an early age that if she could not be with Christian Bale that she would be the embodiment of Christian Bale a la “Newsies” and that life will probably turn out ok.

Johnny had never heard of the fashion rule, “Horizontal stripes are fattening”, why would he? However, after seeing photos of himself from this day on Facebook, he promptly asked his friend to detag him.

Jocelyn was so disgusted with MGMT’s exhausted viral campaign for “Congratulations”, that she vowed to trash talk the album whether she actually listened to it or not.

    Three things…

    1. This idea is too cute. If only my dad hadn't hoarded away all my childhood pics…

    2. I thought my sister and I were the only two people in the whole entire world familiar with "Newsies"! Sweet!

    3. My little sis went to nursery school with Ben Goldwasser of MGMT fame. True story. (Can't say I'm entirely on board with the new album…)

    Dear Lauren/Hipstercrite,

    My ladyfriend is a nanny and she thinks baby hipsters are hilarious. She informed me of their existence about a week ago and I thought she was making it up. Thanks to you, I believe her now.
