Hipster Grifter Exploitation Schemes Arrive
Fugitive Hipster Grifter Kari Ferrell already has a standing offer to do some porn, and now she has another one to be on an awful-sounding reality show. This is how people "make it":
Did you wake up today around 1:30 EST in your industrial loft, pull on your favorite (and only) pair of cutoff jean shorts, and take a leisurely stroll down Bedford Avenue in search of organic green juice and the new DFA on vinyl? Do you tap the family trust fund every time you need to make rent? (or do you have to fix bikes for a living?) Does your tattoo have a story to tell? Do you jam with a hardcore band on the weekends and DJ on the weeknights? Are you cooking tofu right now for you and your seven roommates? Do you barely make it into Manhattan three days a week for "college"? Is that handlebar mustache merely for comedic effect? Do you consider 25 "old age"? Do you idolize Dan Deacon? Do you fold clothes at American Apparel? Are you SO not worried about getting swine flu 'cause that shit only happens to poor people? Were you recently the victim of the Hipster Grifter? Or even better, are you THE Hipster Grifter? And most importantly, what are you going to do this summer now that the McCarren Pool Parties are over???!!!
If you live in Williamsburg, are between the ages of 18-25, and are cool with opening your doors to a camera crew (your seven roommates will have to be cool with it too)
- Photo of yourself
- Five things that make you a hipster.
- A short description of yourself and why you want to be on the show.This is not a competition or game show, and you will not be required to live on an island or eat worms. There is, however, a cash guarantee involved for the chosen ones.
Jesus is the actual Williamsburg not idle entertainment enough for you people? Kari, we'd recommend holding out for at least Celebrity Apprentice. This is beneath you.
[We did get an actual sighting of Kari in Williamsburg this week but the tipster was basically like "I saw her, then I immediately passed out drunk," so we can't really vouch for it.]
