quiddities and agonies of the ruling class - a rolling new york times thread

Otm

It would be uncouth to wear a Baptist or Catholic or Jewish jersey to signal that people of your faith are closer to God.

I guess people who don't live in the Bible belt really think this? I don't remember. I've been back in Tennessee nearly two years now and am reacclimated to daily reminders via T-shirt, bumper sticker, and obnoxious business marquees how much awesomer some people's gods are than other people's.

Nobody anywhere thinks anything like David Brooks says they do.

A fair point.

lol

i go to that barbershop, my barber calls my haircut "the gatsby," gonna tell him to think up a good fascist name for it next time

i remember jaxon in some thread referring to his haircut as the hitler youth like two years ago or something

I think I had this haircut in 9th grade

the hairstyles in those photographs are all different haircuts? idgi

I was just thinking the same.

I think they share a commonality of short sides/longer top with the top combed or slicked back

I have this haircut.

also calling the sartorialist for a quote abt a hairstyle is really just super lazy reporting, even by NYT style standards!

“I think it goes along with a newly restored romance for tailoring, the cut and craftsmanship you see with this current heritage trend,” said Scott Schuman, a photographer who has captured men with the hairstyle in London, Paris and New York for his blog, the Sartorialist.

*fart noise*

hahahaha

There are lots of names for it, she added, including the “synth,” owing to cuts worn by ’80s bands like New Order and Modern English.

this was the haircut of choice for the cool boys in my high school circa 1990-91 or so, then they all shaved their heads

heh lets invite the sartorialist to the craftsmanship thread

"shorter sides, longer top" describes like 90% of men's haircuts tho?

idk, i think ladies understand much better than dudes that a *haircut* is different from a *hairstyle,* get with it fellas

yeah, I think they're inventing an article again

Did I just post to the wrong thread? Said something about how a friend thinks the sartorialist might be borderline retarded for issues outside of fashion

i think what makes it a hitler youth is that the side is buzzed (or at least cut real close)

and the part thats left long is left pretty long

It's like shaved sides long top m/l

Xp

the photos are confusing b/c they show the sartorialist but i dont think hes supposed to have a "hitler youth"

David Lynch has made a tonsorial trademark out of his vertical variation on the look.

omg Laurel I just wrote and erased a Newsies post because I've embarrassed myself enough with that one around these parts before.

Christian Bale is one of the handsomest men ever imo.

Can someone please photoshop a hitler jugend holding a picture of one of those dudes with the haircut, in the style of those "NOT OKAY" psas?

tbh didnt hitler himself basically have this haircut?

I kind of don't even get how this is a "hairstyle" so much as hundreds of different hairstyles that are very short underneath and longer on top. I have definitely noticed this hairstyle a lot, especially since I moved to a neighborhood full of hitler youth (williamsburg). My wife had pointed out that all of the sudden all these guys seemed to have "whooshy" hair.

haha, whoops kind of contradicted my own post -- meant to say "these hairstyles"

my hair is much too thick to do this

same. I basically only have three possible hairstyles: short, medium and jewfro

wonder what kind of reaction I would get from a barber if I asked for "hitler youth on the sides, seinfeld on top"

he would probably go like this http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2011/1/7/35625c0e-c05a-4cb4-bee8-5bf59fc9b46a.gif
