Hipsters are always obsessed with hipsters.

She’s a very comely young lady with a pleasant voice.

She’s also 15 years too young for me and I doubt my wife would approve. Unless she babysits. Does this young lady babysit?

She looks and sounds like a happy [Hope Sandoval](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XucegAHZojc): I think I’m in love with her.

So what is a hipster then?

To me she looks like the girls I see hanging out in Silverlake (hipster neighborhood) in LA in all the artsy shops like ReForm School ([http://www.reformschoolrules.com/](http://www.reformschoolrules.com/))

She’s absolutely beautiful but I want to punch her voice.

I also have a chip on my shoulder about people who are that good looking and clearly know it. Which is unfair.

What? Only one of those pictures has people in it, one of them a woman who might possibly be described as hipsterish, but the OP video link girl’s dress sense is nothing like the mug-holding woman in the picture. The OP girl looks like any random young woman not of any particular subculture.

I was posting pics of the store.

I wouldn’t say she looks like any random girl. If I randomly saw her on the street, I’d assume she was artsy indie hipster girl.

Check out her room though. She has lots of artsy looking knick knacks like you’d find in that store.

You’re not stalking her, right?

Because earlier you said she looked like the kind of girl who _would_ have a room that looks “like this”, and now you’re implying it’s her real room which suggests you’ve followed links to find her pictures elsewhere, and that’s way too investigative when it comes to some random no one special on youtube…

What the …

Did you not see the link of the pic I posted after the “like this”? I just meant that she looked like the type of girl that would have an artsy hipster dwelling like in the pic

and you can see her room from the vids. I didn’t look for any external pictures.

OP, you sure are good at inveinting an entire personality out of a couple of static videos. Most folks never such great skill at such a creepy talent.

Man I’m old.

I look at them and think “Children”, and my mind instantly puts them in a category other than fuckworthy.

“Kissable” lips? I only kiss girls I like. She’s cute and all, but “kissable” lips is really setting the bar low IMHO. Unless you’re talking about vaginal labia, but still, if I didn’t like the girl or she was just some floozy, I probably wouldn’t be that interested in “kissing” her lips. And stop calling me Clifton Webb’s surrogate off-stage double-ganger, please!

Word.

When I watched the OPs two video links, all I though was that is was a kid playing a guitar.

I’m 29 and feel the same. But beyond that, the auld hipster hatred I assume the OP is trying to foment just ain’t happening. Whatever you’re into kid.

Her cover of [thirteen](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttVouGcvkmA&feature=related) is quite good (there’s a horrible burst of static at 1:39 though). I’d actually pay for that (minus the static). Indie movie soundtrack material :D.

The second song in the OP (built to spill) the guitar is so out of tune (or mis-capoed) I’m surprised she even put the video up. :eek:

How the hell does she play with those fingernails on her left hand? :dubious:

As breathy and delicate as her delivery is, she’s pretty good (plays fairly cleanly, keeps a steady tempo, doesn’t look at her hands, sings on key). With some exceptions. 🙂

Plus she must have a nice camera, cuz those videos look pretty nice.

She put some work into it.

I like hipster girls like that. 🆒
