Hipsters…iiiiiiiin…SPACE!
I feel like putting boobies in the visual aid gives headdresses an unfair advantage.
Bu,bu,but Joneser, I like boobies.
Actually the original question was “TOPLESS Caucasian girls in Native American Headdresses,” but we were afraid it would confuse the issue.
Oh, she’s wearing a headdress? I didn’t notice.
@Steve: Those are two totally different questions. TOPLESS girls are always rated. Because ya know… they’re topless.
Graham is correctamundo. That said, ANYONE who isn’t an actual chief of a Native American Tribe (who as part of their tribal practice) wears a headdress is an ASSHAT (or should at least be forced to wear a hat resembling a humans posterior)! Especially Gisele! (or however the f$#@%k you spell her name).
I’m not a huge fan, but then again, my taboo of choice is a hot girl in historically inaccurate viking regalia.
Have a tear runing down her face and she’s the new spokesperson for the Keep America BOOBtiful Foundation!
As a heterosexual man with three testicle(the extra one is descended), I think Biking Hippie over Babbling Bike Lane is way overrated!
Do you mean undescended? Or is that third one descended even lower than the original duo?
@two squatting women: definitely the latter
this fashion phenomenon was all over Coachella. I felt like handing out blankets…
@Mars – good one.
I generally regard the folks at Sociological Images as a museum piece: a blogging throwback to late 20th century uberleft academic lunacy …but I still read their stuff, if only to keep my heart rate up and to reinforce my decision that leaving academia was a good decision. However, they recently had an interesting post on precisely this (…well, the Native American part, not the topless part so much, though they’ve certainly got [predictable] opinions on that, too): http://contexts.org/socimages/2010/04/13/a…
