THEY JUST WANT TO BE IN A BAND

Need another sign of crazy?

Apparently, there is a growing trend of "hipsters" (definition below) - who feel that their beards are not full or bushy enough to complete their Bohemian look and lifestyle.  

So, these follicly-challenged young men, are shelling out upwards of $8,000 to plastic surgeons for facial hair transplants. (NY Post) The surgeon takes hair from other parts on the hipster's body and then implants it into the face.  


Where does that hair come from I wonder?  Big toe?  Armpit? Worse?   I wonder if they'll hear comments like this in the thrift store post-surgery?  "Hey hipster, your beard smells like Right Guard!"

What defines a hipster you may ask (I know that I had to)?  According to Urban dictionary:

• Hipsters are a subculture of men and women typically in their 20's and 30's that value independent thinking, counter-culture, progressive politics, an appreciation of art and indie-rock, creativity, intelligence, and witty banter.

When I read "wife" this definition of a hipster, she offered this quick, but keen observation; 
"Oh…they just want to be in a band"!  

I couldn't say it better myself!

Curmudgeon Out!
