Misshapes/Mistakes

I know I've mentioned Gawker blogs (Gawker, Consumerist, Wonkette, Gizmodo, Fleshbot, Jalopnik, et al) before here on this blog. Just now, I was reading Gawker (NYC media gossip mostly) and their weekly feature "Blue States Lose." In this feature, they look at "retardted pictures of fucked up hipsters on several sites that feature these people partying. Most of the victims are trustfund empowered McHipsters.

Remember back in the '80s when the self-proclaimed Party Monsters would go on all the daytime talk shows? Most of those kids were regulars from an NYC club called The Limelight, and their appearances on the talk shows were very intentional attempts to draw attention to the club. In fact, there was a movie about it a couple years ago called "Party Monster," starring Seth Green and Macaulay Caulkin (like, caulking?). Anyhoo, these current party kids share a lot with the original Limelight Party Monsters: a garish and often ridiculous sense of fashion, way too much blow, too much glitter, and ambiguous sexuality. Okay, so none of that is all that different from any other club kids. Just take a look at the pictures on the site. Trust me. It's like the 'Dos and Don'ts' from VICE Magazine, except this is just the 'Don't's.

I should note that the parties that the photos are taken at aren't just in NYC or LA, they're everywhere. Watch out Dorkwave kids, you could end up being made fun of on Gawker!
