Form and Function for Royalty



Both types of people come down the street, bedecked and bedazzling. They frequently are encumbered by a bundle of goods. Each group has the power to shock with their audacity. For only hipster chicks and old men can wound with their outfits. Leather over windbreakers, pants ridiculous and decades old, bags clutched conspicuous and Aldi style double stuffed.

Hipster chicks and old men saunter without pity. You will get out of their way, rest of the world. For it is these two types of people the world exists to please. Yes, the kings and queens of the world are young women with mega attitude bordering on psychotic as their choice of shawl and geezers with hard opinions fanatical as their choice of wool sock.

Who would have thought these two seeming bi-polar expressions of humanity would quietly collude to be the top dogs walking the street?

Right this minute the coolest hipster chick slid by on a skateboard. She wore Mondrian worthy accessory colors. Then ambled down the street this most appealing old man in three different plaids, a perky hat and a bag of light bulbs.

I would like to request a show on UHF in which an old man and a hipster chick hang out on a stoop, look out over their domain and reveal their secret for staying on top of the human social organization pyramid. They might also talk about clothing strategy; the critical importance of shoe choice and creative uses for old metal band-aid containers.
