Anthu amakonda kugwera mumsasa umodzi kapena wina, ndipo ngakhale atasakaniza awiriwo, mwauzimu, nthawi zambiri amakhala okhulupirika ku chikondi chawo choyamba. Ndili ndi mnzanga m'modzi yemwe manja ake ali ndi zibangili zagolide; wina yemwe ali ndi gulu loyenera la Georgia O'Keeffe la siliva ndi turquoise. Zinthu izi zikuwoneka ngati zomangika ku umunthu wawo monga nyimbo zomwe amakonda kapena mabuku omwe amakonda; zonse zosankhidwa ndi zachibadwa. Ine sindiri wotsimikiza aliyense angadziwe choti anene za ine, ngakhale; mwina angaganize kuti ndilibe nazonso zambiri. Ndipo iwo adzakhala olondola ndi olakwika.

Nthawi ina, zinthu izi zinali ngati zovuta. Mwachitsanzo, ndili ku koleji, panatuluka buku lotchedwa The Hipster Handbook.

(Chilichonse chokhudza chiganizochi chinanditengera ine.) Unali kalozera wodabwitsa wa zomwe, poyang'ana m'mbuyo, zitha kutchedwa kutalika kwa m'badwo wa Vice ndi kusinthidwa kwake. Tsopano, ife timangowutcha moyo umenewo. Koma m'ndandanda wake wodzinyansa komanso wonyansa komanso wochita nthabwala zomwe ma hipsters amachita ndi zomwe samachita, imakhalabe chikhalidwe chamtengo wapatali cha nthawi yosalakwa.

Lang'anani, pali gawo limodzi la bukhuli pomwe olemba adaphwanya mitundu yosiyana siyana ya hipster aesthetics, ndipo imodzi mwa malamulo osagwirizana ndi yakuti ma hipsters nthawi zonse amavala zodzikongoletsera zasiliva, osati golide.

Panthawi yomweyi, magazini ya Lucky inafalitsa kalozera wazojambula kuti adziwe mawonekedwe a "Sexy '70s", ndipo - pamodzi ndi zikopa zambiri komanso zomata - adalamula kuti aliyense amene akufuna Julie Christie-esque je ne sais quoi azivala zokha. zodzikongoletsera za golide - zokhala ndi zingwe zambiri komanso zachilengedwe.

Zonse ziwiri zotsatiridwazi zidakhazikika pamalingaliro ofanana: Golide anali wongodzionetsera, siliva amatanthauza kuti D.I.Y. moona mtima, ndipo onse awiri adafikiridwa ndi chidziwitso chonse cha izi. Palibe amene ankawoneka kuti amasamala za mitundu yomwe imakometsera khungu la mwiniwakeyo kapena zomwe munakonda: munayenera kusankha gulu lanu. Panalinso zomata zogonana komanso za Mzinda: mwina sitinatchulepo mawu oti "zoyambira", koma palibe amene amafuna kuoneka ngati Carrie Bradshaw. (Ndikutanthauza, pokhapokha mutakhala mtundu wa munthu amene munatero.) Panthawi imeneyi m'moyo wanga, ndinali pafupi kwambiri ndi hipster monga momwe ndikanakhalira (osati kuti ndikanavomereza), komabe anali wotengeka ndi zomwe ndidatcha "Circa-1980 Harlequin Romance Heroine". Kukongola kumeneku kunali ndi ukoma wololeza kuti "pre-makeover" (magalasi akulu ndi mauta a pussy) ndi post-"uh-oh-the-mogul-bwana-akufunika-kutentha-kupangitsa-munthu wina. -wansanje-ndi-kudabwa-ndiwe-wa-sexpot!" pambuyo zotsatira. Yotsirizirayi inali ndi madiresi ambiri ong'ambika a disco ndi nsapato za sitolo zowongoka zomwe nthawi zonse zimagwa mumsewu. Ndinadzipereka; Ndinkasuta Capris komanso kumwa sours wa amaretto chifukwa chodziletsa. (Chifukwa chakuti anali onyansa, panalibe ngozi iliyonse yoledzera.) Mwachiwonekere, ndinafunikira unyolo wambiri ndi ndolo za hoop. Koma ndinali wamantha; kotero chinthu changa - munthawi yochepa iyi - idakhala mkuwa.

Kukula, sindinkavala zodzikongoletsera zambiri. Ndinalibe ngakhale makutu oboola. Pamene tinali kukula, atsikana ena ankavala nyemba za Tiffany - inali mphatso yotchuka ya Bat Mitzvah - ndipo nthawi zonse pamakhala anthu omwe ankayendayenda akulankhula mokweza za momwe khungu lawo linalili lopweteka kotero kuti ankangovala ndolo zomwe zinali zagolide kapena siliva. . (Mtundu wa ambidexterity zonena za junior mkulu - zopusa, koma obscurely chidwi.) Zina mwa izo zinali kuti amayi anga anapanga mfundo yaikulu ya kuvala palibe zodzikongoletsera, ngakhale mphete yaukwati - ngakhale makolo anga anali, ndipo ali okwatira - zomwe chinali theka la chinthu chosamveka bwino chachikazi ndi theka, ine ndikuganiza, chochita ndi banja lake.

Mukuwona, pali Mbiri Yakale yokhala ndi zitsulo zamtengo wapatali.

Agogo anga aamuna ankatchedwa eccentric, koma kwenikweni anali openga, ndipo ndikutsimikiza ngati akanalolera kupita kwa dokotala, akanamupeza ndi chinachake chachipatala. Iye sanali wotayirira; analibe ndalama. Koma analibe chikhulupiriro mu boma la America, msika wogulitsa, chikhalidwe cha anthu, kapena mabanki. M'malo mwake, adagula golidi ndi siliva yense yemwe amatha kuyikapo manja ake - nthawi zambiri pogulitsa ma tag kapena m'masitolo ogulitsa - ndikusungunula m'matumba. Zina mwa izi zidabisidwa mu kabati yomwe adamanga pamutu pabedi lake. Ena anali m'mabokosi achitetezo olemera kwambiri. Ena akunenedwabe kuti adzaikidwa m'manda pansi pa malo, omwe adagulitsidwa kale. Nthawi zina, mwa apo ndi apo, kachidutswa kakang'ono kamatha kuthawa motowo ndipo tinkapatsidwa wotchi yabwino ya 1920s kapena chikwama chamadzulo cha silver mesh. Ngati aliyense wa ife ananenedwa kuti amamudziwa Mkatolika, amayesa kutsitsa mitanda ina pa iwo. Bambo anga ankakonda kunena kuti amadziwa mtengo wachabechabe, komanso mtengo wake.

Monga magpie, ankakondanso zinthu zamkuwa (pali nsomba yamkuwa ikuyang'ana kwa ine pamene ndikulemba izi) ndipo nthawi zina pewter (anandiwonetsa momwe ndingadziwire siliva kuchokera ku pewter kapena mbale ponyamula ice cube pamwamba), koma zitsulo zamtengo wapatali. anali chilakolako chake ngati Goldfinger. Kotero ine ndikuganiza, mwachidule, kuti sitinadziwe momwe tingakhalire ndi golidi ndi siliva. Ndikukumbukira chidwi ndi filimu yophunzitsa za golide ya 1980 (yotchedwa Gold!

) zomwe zinali kuzungulira kosalekeza mu Museum of Natural History Hall of Gems and Minerals. Zinanenedwa ndi George Plimpton ndi mnzanga wapamtima ndipo ndimaganiza kuti zinali zosangalatsa. Koma kuvala kukanakhala kodabwitsa...monga kuonetsera mabilu a dollar. Ndikukumbukira nkhaniyo inanena kuti golidi yense wapadziko lonse akhoza kukhala pakati pa bwalo la mpira, ndipo mutha kusewerabe kulizungulira. Chabwino, si mtundu wa chinthu chimene munthu amaiwala.

Masiku ano, pamene chirichonse chiri chokhazikika mu maumboni onse ozindikira komanso osazindikira. Claire's Accessories amachotsa zitsulo zotsika mtengo zamtundu uliwonse, ndipo sindikudziwa kuti pali chiweruzo chochuluka chozungulira zitsulo zomwe munthu amavala. Ndikawerenga mbiri ya akazi wotsogola, iwo amakhudzidwa kwambiri (kapena kunena kuti ali) ndi "nkhani" kumbuyo kwa zidutswa zawo kuposa mtengo wawo; mwamuna wanga adapanga izi ndi mnzanga, kapena ruby ​​​​yosadulidwa iyi imayimira mwana wanga. Anthu amasakaniza zitsulo mosasamala monga momwe timachitira china chilichonse. Kumwa golide mwina sikunagwirepo, ndipo munthu ameneyo angakhale atasanduka buluu kuchokera ku siliva wa colloidal, koma izi zimangosonyeza momwe takhala omasuka ndi zitsulo zamtengo wapatali.

Lero, ndimavala mphete yaukwati ndipo palibe china chilichonse. Ndikafunsidwa, ndimati ndichifukwa magalasi anga ndi otchuka kwambiri kotero kuti palibe chifukwa chosokoneza zinthu ndi gulu la zipangizo zina, ndipo sizowona. Ndilibe bokosi la zodzikongoletsera kapena kuyenda ndi ndolo kumbuyo; ndipo sindikuchulukirachulukira kapena mbiri yanga. Koma mwina ndili ndi golidi kapena siliva wambiri kuposa aliyense amene ndikumudziwa. Chifukwa, zobisika pamalo omwe sindidzawulula, pali mizere yambiri yabwino yazitsulo zonse ziwirizi. Ine sindimasankhana. Ndimangokonda kudziwa kuti ali pamenepo. Mukudziwa - tsiku lamvula lomwe ndimafuna kusewera mpira.
