There is this sub-culture floating around that you might have heard of once or twice.  Apparently, they are called "hipsters" and they "hate everything" and "like to f**k, do drugs and wear weird clothes."  I might have even written something about this pheonmenon.  I guess someone invented getting drunk and acting stupid while wearing clothes from a thrift store:  His name is Gavin McInnes.

You might know Gavin from the pages of Vice Magazine, where he's been dishing out fashion advice to broke assholes since the 90s.  Gavin just came out with a new book called Street Boners

Call me crass if you wish, but when I first heard the title, I assumed that it would be all about guys getting aroused whilst walking their dogs or getting coffee, or other things urban dudes do on the street.  After going through this weighty tome, I can assure you that no one gets an erection in any of these pictures, though you might score a chub yourself when checking out all the fine hipster chicks.

I was given a free copy of Street Boners to review.  Typically, I'm stoked to get media to reveiw.  I think "oh, free stuff is rad."  I mean, I have a complimentary Spankie at home, so clearly I don't mind getting anything for free, no matter how useless. 

Unfortunately, I feel a conflict of interest at play while pondering what to say about this book.  You see, I have often been referred to as a "hipster" by my friends. Not sure what I'm doing to deserve this distinction, but feel free to judge for yourself:

Perhaps wearing panties on your head is super alternative and cool, but if it is, no one was kind enough to tell me.
