Last month, the New York Times ran an article about hipster fashion trends that claimed sarcastically that "the Rick Steves look is next." While I'm honored to be mentioned in any article discussing pop culture, I must respectfully disagree with the author. The Rick Steves look isn't the NEXT hipster fashion trend--it is, in fact, the CURRENT fashion trend. While I generally lay low when it comes to making fashion statements, I believe these photos prove that I was the Original Hipster. Don't you agree?
Children of the Sixties and Seventies, I'm sure you have similar photos of yourselves--whether hitchhiking through Europe or just hang out at home. Dig them up, and post them on my page. Let's show the younger generation that they should have been listened to their parents' fashion advice all along.
Groovy Travels!
