It's about real estate. But yes, bad tattoos and betty paige affectations are universal.

We ended up at her place, screwing like minxes. That one Amy Winehouse song came on the radio while we were going at it... I already liked it, now I really really love it. If I hear it twenty years from now, it will bring back nice memories.

amy whinehouse looks like a mix between the b-52's, a drag mummy, and my dead grandfathers anus.

Puh-leez. That look is Georgetown to a T. All the ex-hipsters in Ballard have made the transition to yuppie parents [now] trying to cover up their embarrassing ass tattoos that only reveal themselves when bending over to pick up their Mini-Me children/props. Hey, why doesn't someone open an ass tattoo joint for tots in Ballard?

I'd rather look like a fascinating trainwreck with Tina Turner legs and Diana-Ross-in-the-backseat-at-6-am hair when I age than pull this aging hipster crap I tried when I moved to Ballard:

I'm usually wrong, but I remain convinced that dame (or at least her stylist) knows preCISEly what she's doing, and it's all a brilliant marketing scheme to keep you looking and buying her whiskey. Someone knows that hobo dirty in real life can translate to dirty hot in photographs. Smart and frightening.

Hipsters, former/ex or current, can't typically afford to buy real estate in Ballard. Grandy, "they" go to die/breed in West Seattle, White Center, Georgetown, Burien, Ranier Valley, um...Fife, even TACOMA. The Ballard cliche' c.'95 (around that time, those that could afford to move, left for West Seattle/Ballard when rents on the hill jumped well beyond working class reach) has long since disappeared, now Ballard is overpriced and middle/upper class just like the rest of the city...the chubby, greasy teds and their fat girlfriends just come to visit. And, BTW, the teds/gear heads were never "hip."

grandy, some of your best buds are aging ballard hipsters!

she's also incredibly ana versus most ballard rockabillies, who tend to be on the rolly side yo. and who yes, moved away from ballard years ago when it got unaffordable.
