Got slimline jeans, tattoos, a headband and a fixed-wheel bike?

Actually I didn't really get what the architecture thing was all about. I still don't.

It's about this. At the root of all design is a kind of vanity. You love things, and yet, in your heart of hearts you know that things are just, well, things. Sadly architecture and interior design are lines of work populated by people lacking a sense of humour - some of them might even be thought of as just a teeny-weeny bit pompous. It doesn't hurt to have a little laugh sometimes. In private. I was in an office yesterday and started chortling when somebody (somebody I really like) showed me her latest creation. That wasn't good.

So, Jez, feel free to make up your own caption next time you pass a radio station clad in pre-rusted steel....

Stonewashed jeans and trainers? For shame Simon, for shame! Still, nice of you to invite Origamist around for breakfast.

Maybe installing stairs wouldn’t have been such a compromise of their values.

Today it's white jeans, a Vimeo t-shirt (snitched off the Kid's boyfriend) plimsolls by All Saints and parka with orange fake fur trim by Paul Smith.

Yes - nice to see a kitchen with a Matt in it...let's get with the Dandycord!

If I'm honest - Broadway Market is much nicer than it was twenty years ago. Sure, it's ubertrendy - far, far trendier than 'Midtown', but those young people look like they're having fun. In a competitive kind of way. And the bikes.....

Oh dahrling i am so out of it .Being 60 and a Yorkshireman.

Hipsters were a type of jean when i was a teenager .

I'm also well out of it. I didn't get out of flared jeans till 1979. Being a Yorkshireman I was too mean to buy new jeans till old ones had worn out. My middle brother once had some red framed glasses in the '80's, he got them free off an optician friend (nobody wanted them even back then).

The Cat and Mutton really is a hopeless boozer though. The Dove isn't too bad - it has some kind of award conferred on it by Belgium.

Where's "Midtown"?

Clerkenwell to Holborn. Where the Bromley Massive hangs out on a Sunday morning pretending to ride their bikes.

That site goes straight into Favorites, I'm ashamed to say.

Postman's got it right. I may only be a youngster (still in my 50s - just) but I had hipster jeans in the 60s, and no they wouldn't fit me now. Got a pair of flared ones in the 70s and they lasted about 20 minutes - ripped apart when they caught on a cotter pin.

Presumably if hipsters are back now then in a few months time we'll be seeing hate blogs about people who play Pong and use a Sinclair Scientific calculator!

Now where's that bottle of Blue Nun, to drink with the Black Forrest Gateau?

I've suddenly got strange yearnings for liebfraumilch and prawn cocktail. Oh, those were the days.
