Rock Star
Man, the other day, I looked in the mirror and vainly thought to myself that I look like a rock star… poseur, that is. It’s the hair. Then A & B came over and said the same thing. Bwahaha.

I read Up with Grups today, via Angry Chad, and it’s like *everyone* we know. Hahaha. I guess we are now “grups” or “yupsters” (although frankly, I’m not so much the hipster half of the yuppie-hipster mashup). I feel I can post about this here because the article casually mentions the “rock star-ification of America”. I get my themes where I can. Don’t judge.

I really enjoyed Rock Star: INXS last summer. Imagine my delight to hear that it will be back again this summer! Except without INXS, of course, which is sad because they were an awesome band, but it wouldn’t make sense for the premise of the show if they came back. This time, “the new season would focus on finding a lead singer for a new group entitled Supernova, featuring Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted, and former Guns N’ Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke.” [via the wikipedia link]
I think this sentence resonated the most with me, “clad in beat-up sneakers and cashmere hoodies, content that they can enjoy all the good parts of being a grown-up (a real paycheck, a family, the warm touch of cashmere) with none of the bad parts (Dockers, management seminars, indentured servitude at the local Gymboree).”
Otherwise, I am the anti-hipster with my Old Navy/Gap outfits, Reebok sneakers, and American Idol fascination. In fact, all of my actual hipster friends tease me mercilessly about how unhip I am.
And yes, you have sexy, rock star hair. Work it! (As opposed to, oh, I dunno … the same bob you had when you met your husband 10 years ago.)

Wuh? You’ve had more hairstyles than anyone else I know! And more colors too. I like it when people take chances w/ their hair, so I think it rocks that you do.
2nd paragraph, 2nd to last sentence: ” I get my themes ***were*** I can. Don’t judge.”
okay, delete this comment.
Oh the shame! I corrected the typo in the entry, but there is no way to correct it in the comment you left. And I have to retain enough dignity not to remove your comment. Hee.
Awesome, page 2 of the “Grup” article has a photo of Andy Chase and Domonique Durand, two members of one of my favorite bands, Ivy: http://www.thebandivy.com
Oh, and I’m totally a Grup. 🙂
