this is actually so true. Unless you're female, then you must be 25 lbs underweight.

Noticed
It’s Hip to Be Round
By GUY TREBAY

THIS summer the unvarying male uniform in the precincts of Brooklyn cool has been a pair of shorts cut at knickers length, a V-neck Hanes T-shirt, a pair of generic slip-on sneakers and a straw fedora. Add a leather cuff bracelet if the coolster is gay.

In truth this get-up was pretty much the unvarying male uniform last summer also, but this year an unexpected element has been added to the look, and that is a burgeoning potbelly one might term the Ralph Kramden.

Too pronounced to be blamed on the slouchy cut of a T-shirt, too modest in size to be termed a proper beer gut, developed too young to come under the heading of a paunch, the Ralph Kramden is everywhere to be seen lately, or at least it is in the vicinity of the Brooklyn Flea in Fort Greene, the McCarren Park Greenmarket and pretty much any place one is apt to encounter fans of Grizzly Bear.

What the trucker cap and wallet chain were to hipsters of a moment ago, the Kramden is to what my colleague Mike Albo refers to as the “cooliosâ€

I don't see many straw fedoras, but everything else is pretty much spot on. I don't buy the paunch being a hipster thing or cool, since the vast majority of folks I see dressed like this are Critical Mass style cyclists and heroin thin.

I will concede that you don't see alot of average sized hipsters. They are either really skinny or borderline obese. There is always the chubby girl with at least two anorexic looking girls by her side and the hideously fat, hairy guy with his skinny, yet facially repugnant girlfriend.

What can I say, people in Nebraska just aren't hat people. The only exception being Husker caps and Cowboy hats.

have'nt noticed the fatness trend, but def the v-neck, cut-offs, straw fedora's. I thought it was a "Miami back to the 50's Cuba" look.

Following trends, fashion or otherwise, is definitely negatively correlated with testosterone. If this catches on their bellies are spilling over their capri pants, I think it really will be time to set up the Camps.

I would actually really like it if we all agreed to never post any photos of this Beth Ditto person here ever again.

What's bugging you here, her midsection? She's got two arms and two legs, as such she looks relatively normal to me. The tatoo I could do without.
