Another "Spot That Scenester!" Contest / "Work of Art" Recap

All right, readers, here's your chance to win up to three ice-cold PBRs on a scorching hot day in Larryville. Just name one or more of the scenesters in this photo from A. Rusc.n's gallery of the recent show by The Faint at the Granada.














We don't know about you, but we'd totally watch a reality show about the adventures of Hipster Jesus and Mustache Man in which wacky things happen, such as discovering an African-American guy at a Faint concert. It would probably be somewhat like Jersey Shore, except instead of getting shitfaced and laid every night they'd get lightly buzzed on PBR and probably not get laid very much.

Speaking of excellent reality shows, Bravo's Work of Art ended its first season last night, leaving all of us Midwestern Peregrine-supporters a little disappointed (but hoping she decides to follow us on Twitter). We found her portrait of two unborn fawns both moving and terrifying.

But at the same time we are still disappointed that Jaclyn didn't make it to last night's finale. Her tendency to take naked photos of herself and paint naked portraits of herself kept us aroused throughout the season. Here's the piece from the "Opposites Attract" challenge, in which OCD Guy did...whatever it is that he does, while Jaclyn painted herself masturbating, leading to one of the show's greatest moments when a judge asked her if she, indeed, had ever masturbated while standing up. Sure, she admitted. Well, no shit, judge. Haven't we all?

Here's a photo of their piece from www.artfagcity.com (Chip: "Is it okay for art fags to call themselves art fags?"). Avert your eyes now if you don't think masturbation is art.

A. Ruscin is the only hipster in town who takes a decent picture. We just wish she'd go out more!

If masturbation isn't art said...

Then you're not doing it right.

And if art is masturbation?

lololol....I went to high school with Kyle Klipwicz (mustache man.) He's a producer who lives in Chicago now....follow him on twitter at @kyleklip

the boys said...

But who is Hipster Jesus? Because that's who we should truly be "following."

Also, if masturbation is art, then we are surely the Picassos of whacking it.

@BARRR said...

oh...hipster Jesus...I thought you all knew him...his name is Butthole McFartface....and the dude to the left is Grimace. #TWOOSH

@Griffnasty said...

The guy on the left and I had a brief "Head nod/Whats-up" Moment at that show...I think he may be part of The Faints road crew.

Butthole McFartface said...

Wait...is this 2002? Why are we still talking about the Faint?

also confusing said...

Why are we talking about ANYTHING besides masturbation and art!

But, yes, we were surprised to see what appear to be legitimate hipsters at a Faint concert in 2010?

@Griffnasty said...

The Faint actually put on one hell of a show...they had giant crazy mannequins(Some with huge glowing eye-goggle thingamajigs) all over the stage in interesting poses, crazy flaming electronics, and sexual style that would give Madonna a run for her billz.
Hip or not, they are talented as fuck and know how to put on a fuckin' show!

look....if I wanted to see the circus I'd go to the FUCKING CIRCUS. This has nothing to do with being hip or not....their records have sucked ass for over 5 years now. So...this is the "hip" equivilant of Lady Gaga. 100% sonic garbage! The 80's revival is OVER.....try writing a good record instead of coasting on manequins and fire...it's like Hair Metal in the 80's...hell of a stage show...but you'll be embarrassed you were into it in 10 yrs...
