If that's talent, all I need is to be rich.

It's a good thing I moved to L.A. when I did! According to the New York Times, "Silver Lake [is] the Los Angeles counterpart to Brooklyn’s Williamsburg."

Well, now that that's official, I must pioneer the movement of the Los Angeleno hipster, but how?

After long google searches, "how to be a hipster in L.A." I came across this Craigslist ad:Reality Show Casting Silverlake Trendsetters (Silverlake area)
A new Reality Show is casting Silver Lake's rich, wealthy, hipster GUYS and GIRLS 21-30 whose personal style is homeless chic: Guys with beards, ratty hair and raggedy yet stylish clothing – and Girls dressed in fashionable, vintage hippie-type garb accessorized with large sunglasses and oversized tote bags. You must be incredibly involved in the Silver Lake social scene, enjoy a sensational nightlife Silver Lake style and be very outspoken with a vivacious personality. You must also hang with a racially diverse, intriguing group of friends who all live in Silver Lake. If this sounds like you please call 772.245.0665 or email realtvproduction@gmail.com for an interview.

Folks, for all of you that do not know how to be cool, this craigslist ad
S-P-E-L-L-S I-T O-U-T F-O-R Y-O-U:
1. Label yourself a hipster. Labels are the only way to know who you really are.
2. Guys - never shower. Gals - read up on your favorite "green" blogs - if you want to be hippie, you have to love the world...and fashion.
3. Diversity in IN - get rid of that racist persona, find some friends different from you, quick.

I could go on, but I'm bored. Unfortunately, I don't fit the criteria of all this. I am not wealthy enough to go under the knife and come out with all of these qualities.

THIS SOUNDS LIKE A JOB FOR THE "HIPSTER GRIFTER"! Last seen in Williamsburg, she's destined to be in Silver Lake. The quintessential hipster - I'd rather see a reality show about her anyway.
