Growing Up Gaga

To close out fabulous women week, Growing Up Gaga is a New York Entertainment magazine article by Vanessa Grigoriadis that explores the origin of the hottest new pop star.

Love the article, love the pictures, hate the multi-page set-up.

Hipster Runoff

Hipster Runoff is "intended to be a 'culturally relevant' blog."

It's laid out like a zany online zine. Everything is way too big. What caught my attention was the linked article about the guy who "tattooed" "child molester" glasses on his face.

To anwers the questions on the bottom of the article, yes he is trying too hard. And yes this makes me kind of sick.
EDIT: The article in question was based off of a youtube video by Neverhide films which does viral marketing for RayBan. F. Y. I. it's probably a faaaaaaake. Again: trying too hard, corporate hipster douche.

My question is... what happens when you mix the Awesoments?

Some things obviously go together well:

BaMkGr

Some compounds seem absolutely terrifying:

From the website: "Letters of Note is an attempt to gather and sort fascinating letters, postcards, telegrams, faxes, and memos. Scans/photos where possible. Fakes will be sneered at. Updated every weekday."

The image above is part of a letter written by John K., the creator of the show Ren & Stimpy. He wrote this awesome letter in response to a question from a very avid fan.
