With two other locations, Bay Ridge and Staten Island, you just KNOW this place is gonna be exquisite. Probably as good as Sea! Just ask Valerie De Lhomme:

There certainly are a lot of goths up trees on the internet. I love the singular focus of this site.

This girl says “I love this tree”. I say “we all need something to love, don’t we?” I think she looks a bit cold. I would say “I love my cardigan” instead but then again I don’t take photos of myself sitting on cardigans. At least, not on purpose. Now there’s an idea for a blog! Goths sitting on cardigans!

Anyway, I admire her pluck for posing for this shot sans cardy when it’s clearly about 10°C. At least her neck is warm with her lolita neck thingy. Nice pentagram there. Boots appear to be Demonias. The nude lip is interesting. It’s daylight. Gah. I’m guessing she’s new to this game.

This dumb, Williamsburg -baiting article, Things Hipsters Do To Be Ironic But Are Actually Awesome, is not going to get anyone to use hotmail. Do the ladies from2 Broke Girls use hotmail? (This whole campaign on Buzzfeed, in fact, is dumb.)

I guess we’re “part of the hype” since we definitely “ain’t with it:” [via]

A reader sent this one to us and all we can say is, what the fuck? The best part is watching the guy in the orange shirt react.

The Tumblr is worth a visit too.

Not looking to relocate to California to kick your drug/alcohol habit? Need “a drug- and alcohol-free chaperone” when your band is on tour? Loft 107 in Williamsburg, may be just what you’re looking for. They don’t use the word hipster — that is unless you note the URL — but details about this “plush” hipster rehab clinic are outlined in today’s Times:

Opened in 2009 by Joe Schrank, a 41-year-old social worker and longtime promoter of drug and alcohol recovery, the Loft, as it is known, is a high-end facility for people who have already gone through the isolation of rehabilitation and want an intermediate step back into their regular lives…

Sprawling across three apartments on two floors that total 7,000 square feet, the light-filled space is furnished with sectional couches and club chairs from Restoration Hardware. Exposed brick walls are hung with framed Hatch Show Prints, rock-themed art and flat-screen TVs. The overall effect is of a spread in a shelter magazine or the set of a reality show. “It’s the ‘Real Sober World,’ ” Mr. Schrank joked….

Hidden away from the communal spaces are 10 bedrooms. It costs $12,500 a month to occupy one alone; $8,500 to share with two others of the same sex….

Mr. Schrank is quick to point out that the Loft isn’t for everyone. Then again, neither is his approach to sobriety. “You’re not really helping people by trying to be their friend,” he said, adding: “I’m not really a ‘friends’ person. That’s sort of the irony. I don’t really like people all that much. People ask me about that all the time and I think, ‘Well, I don’t have to like them to care about them.’ ”

On another note, are we the only ones who find former Radar founder Maer Roshan’s latest project — Schrank is involved — a bit curious?

The must fucked up thing you will see all day:
