The walls of the pad he and Ms. Hanley Mellon share at the Pierre are lined with paintings by Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Damien Hirst, Peter Beard and, Mr. Mellon said, “Taylor Swift.”
“You mean Sam Taylor-Wood,” Ms. Hanley Mellon said.

“I’ve never been to Africa, but I feel like I have this deep affinity for it,” Ms. Hanley Mellon said. “I’ve read every Hemingway, we collect Peter Beard, I’ve watched ‘Out of Africa.’ It touches your soul to visit and smell the smells, and you can’t recreate the experience without immersing yourself.”Of course, being mobile has many connotations in the age of new media, which Mr. Mellon feels ambivalent about. “In the old days you’d have to travel to India or China for inspiration, and these days you’ve just got Pinterest boards and you can create looks from home,” he said. He does have an Instagram account, asliceofmellon, despite believing that “technology has made us lazy.”

But Mr. Mellon is an unabashed fan of embracing new technologies, including Bitcoin, which the company accepts as payment and to which he was introduced by the venture capitalists Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss.
“Now we just need a hashtag,” Ms. Hanley Mellon said.

also, cross-post from rolling hipster studies, but this needs to have a home in this thread:: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/13/realestate/new-york-boomers-on-hipster-turf.html?_r=0
A few weeks later, the Berners moved from a two-bedroom apartment in Park Slope, Brooklyn, which they were renting for $4,500 a month, to a 39th-floor waterfront rental in Long Island City, Queens — the price tag a more modest $3,850.

haha I mean really GRATE
Aldo Sampieri, who is in his 50s, ventured even deeper into hipster territory. After 16 years in a loft near New York University, Mr. Sampieri, a painter and graphic artist, moved to Williamsburg in 2010. And last August he paid $760,000 for a renovated century-old townhouse on Moffat Street in Bushwick, a couple of subway stops farther along Brooklyn’s hipster trail. And he has only good things to say about the perks of living in a youth-oriented part of town.
“It helps you be looser, not so uptight,” Mr. Sampieri said. “Your mannerisms change. You feel comfortable wearing more eccentric clothing.
“I’ve always had a very funky life,” he added. “I was married, divorced. I have no family. I can do what I want. And when you’re in a neighborhood filled with people of different ages, you feel like you’re not that old. Seeing young people walking around makes you feel happy, more alive. You find yourself playing bass with some guys in a studio, leading a life that a person my age usually can’t do.”

I used to sew ties in a neck tie factory and we made a lot of woven silk patterned ties, some of which looked a lot like his pants.
I actually really do like those pants. They seem like horrible people, but those pants are fine by me.

"The memory stack
There is a pile of memorabilia and stuff I don’t have the heart to throw out. So I just stack them in the corner.
To and fro
I walk to work every day. I leave the house around 9:15 a.m. I live near enough to walk, because time spent commuting could best be used for other things. Most of us live within walking or biking distance. I am at the office most of the day. I have an alarm on my phone that goes off at 5:30 p.m. and says, “Go home.”
A free spirit
The point of all of this is to bring out a sense of creativity, inventiveness, curiosity, adventure and exploration, and that is what Findery is trying to be about."

what happens when it's time to come home, do they just throw all the stuff in a lake and buy new stuff when they get home
or do they fly the packer pro in by helijet for an emergency repack
or when they're at camp do the kids learn packing instead of lanyard making so that they can repack their shabby unprofessional depacks

It's only the loosest free-association, but for some reason his bragging about his "minimal" living reminds me of a girl I dated once in college who bragged that, of all of her family's accountant's clients' children, she was making the most money while in school (she had some summer job or some shit). I said, "You know, that might be because the people who actually have to earn real money while they're in college are not the kind of people whose families have accountants." And she responded "Come on! Everyone has an accountant!"
