Yes, This is a Fucking Contest

Heyo beautiful, spiteful babies. So next week marks the time of year during which we’re all supposed to eat like grotesque creatures, reflect on the massacre of scores of Native Americans and stare into the deep black abyss that is our relatives’ eyes when we tell them what we do for a living (“Oh, so you’re a creative type? Your cousin Jenn is almost done with medical school—and isn’t her boyfriend Trey lovely? Do you have a boyfriend, dear? Oh…so what exactly does ‘hooking up’ entail?”).

What does this mean for your favorite haterade manufacturers? Well, we over here at SHH will have a little less time to spew venom than usual. So—we propose a contest. Y’all send us suggestions, like, every fucking day, so why don’t you write a post for a change? Send us your best SHH entry—written in the style of this, your favorite blog—and we’ll post the winning entries on Thursday and Friday of next week. Oh, and please don’t send us shit we’ve already covered—hipsters hate fucking copycats. (There’s an archives page and a search-this-blog bar on your right, folks. Also an excellent way to spend the hours holed up in your childhood bedroom while your family debates the health care bill/watches football downstairs.)

Send entries to: Stuffhipstershate@gmail.com

Deadline: Tuesday, November 24th

Yep.

» Jessica Lea Mayfield: 11 November 2009 - New York - Webster Hall

Another one for the “Notes from the Road blog” (via PopMatters).

I may be a bit late on this one, but did you hear about (sensitive) Morrissey getting hit in the head with a water bottle by a (probably drunken) fan? After the incident, he bid the audience adieu and walked off stage, abruptly ending the show during the second song of his set. Diva status, but not really surprised. See for yourself.

Not so secret: I can’t wait for this to come out (via zooeydeschanel).

“ While it’s tempting to call them ‘baristi’ because of the Italian roots, the plural of ‘barista’ is ‘journalism majors.’
