As I
mentioned on the previous post, during the trip to Rumania I had the
opportunity to spot out many hipster aspects all over the place. Bags, clubs
and really nice bikes where the prove that the hipsters know no borders and
while Abba wants to share some historical background about the hipster culture,
I prefer to approach the topic on a more trivial and “shallow” way so if you expect
to ready “serious” stuff, thanks for stopping by but this is not your post. BY
THE WAY… I got a joke: -------Why do Hipsters hate rivers?
[They’re
too mainstream]
Back to the
glasses… while we were visiting the Peles Castle we took a tour to visit the
interior. Actually if you want to see the castle from inside, the only way in
is with the tour. So we were waiting for our guide when the perfect stereotype “tourist”
approaches the group: guide in hand, backpack (not too big) in the back, nice
camera hanging from the neck and while I was checking the typical kaki short
(not very practical for Rumania’s weather at the time) my boyfriend whispers me…
have you seen his glasses? He doesn’t have glasses! What an odd affirmation,
how can you have glasses without glasses… well silly me, this was not a regular tourist
I was looking at. It was a hipster dress-up as a tourist!
[How did you know that?]
He had an oversized
plastic frame but no glass on it! I had never seen such an evolution on the most
famous accessory of the hipster culture. I always thought that if you are making
the effort of wearing “fake” glasses at least wear them as you should but of
course… the no-glass part make it much ironic and therefore way more hipster ;)

sister trying to be a hipster, with Instagram and everything!]
