Fashion Fidel Castro Is Such a Portland Hipster!

Posted by Sarah Mirk on Mon, Dec 8, 2008 at 12:01 PM

Did anyone else do a double take when they saw the New York Times magazine this weekend? It features a young Fidel 'n friends and they look like they came straight from Beulahland.

Look at him! The cute aviator cap, the bushy beard, the Elvis Costello glasses. His friend to the left has that goatee and the guy on the right has that sweet afro (side note: why don't revolutions involve sweet afros these days?). If you replaced the machine guns with organic bread loaves, they'd be the coolest kids on the Stumptown block.

Don't you want them in your band?

Dear Sarah,

Please get back to the fairly high-quality articles that made us like you. This is stupid.

Different from Portland: There's diversity and non-English speakers there!

Not fucking awesome. I mean, cargo pants tucked in to boots. They don't look like hipsters at all. Keep the articles; improve the fluff.

I somehow neglected to mention that the second picture is some of the shittiest photo-shopping ever. Please get a new unpaid arts intern to turn out this crap.
