whether he was being ironic or not, that hipster's getting a cleveland steamer from yours truly, posthaste.
That looks a whole lot like my friends Virginia and Brian. Brian's not really the type to sport bandanas though, I don't think. Verification pending.
Perhaps he was using it to blow his fucking nose?
Regrettably, awful gay castro fashion has become ironic str8 hipster fashion of the pike/pine set. Hankies have been in vogue for at least 2 years now and are making all kinds of bad inferrences b/c they have been matching them w/their outfits. Peaches even has a song about Hanky confusion on her new album.
I also see that like so many seattle boys, he has no ass.
A couple of sites that list a rather baroque set of hanky codes say that brown with white stripes signify a bottom for latino tops. Maybe that's what he's going for.
I'm sad that the hankie code has fallen out of use. I'd like going into RPlace and knowing who's boring and who's fun on the dance floor.
yeah, i've heard of the hanky thing, but i have no idea what they mean. i guess a 25 year old gay guy has no need for it.
I'm a... little older than 25. And no one used the silly hanky code when I came out either—'cept guys in leather bars, and the only colors you ever saw were red, black, and grey. But you never saw them anywhere else...
when i was a baby homosexual and moved here i use to wear a yellow cub scout hanky in my right back pocket just cause i thought it and i was cute - because i had ass. then i learned about the code, but i still wanted to sport the hanky so when people asked me what it denoted i told them that it meant that i wanted to be peed on by a ten year old. and we'd all giggle our foll fag heads off.
.. you could joke about that stuff back then..
sigh..
them days...
ps. jeff @3 i switched to a confederate flag a while later, but THAT was just to blow my fucking nose.
Let's hope he is utilizing the hanky code 'cause a brown hoodie with a brown hanky is a little too matchy-matchy for a fashion choice, doncha think?
The Confederate flag in the back pocket means you're looking for a slave.
does this mean that all the funny looks i've been getting all these years for the crisp, tri-cornered pocket square I keep in the breast pocket of my blue blazer are because people think i'm GAY?!
Totally too matchy-matchy. I was thinking the same thing.
That is not Brian and me, I don't think.
It's not ironic, it's young people fashion thing and it's finally worked it's way up from LA where the whole hesh skater thing has been de rigeur for quite a while. Next time you see that kid, he'll be wearing Vans slip-ons. I doubt anyone under the age of 30 is aware that flagging was ever a "thing". What I really like in this picture though is the girl's sweatshirt/jacket combo, as if to say, "hey, I got this nice vintage coat, and I'm a cute girl and all, but this IS Seattle so I'm gonna go ahead and have a sweatshirt stick out of it because that is entirely normal".
Also, he's got no ass because he's wearing woman's jeans (and in all likelyhood actually has no ass).
Wearing women's jeans is an easy way of getting the prized skinny-skinny leg, so lay off. Otherwise, it's hard to find a pair that you can barely get your foot through.
maybe it was a traditional blue or black hankie that got accidentally bleached. I had the same thing happen to me and the hankie ended up about the same color as this guy's hankie...
What is this, VICE? He's just walking down the street for pete's sake.
Now, who remembers the 80's skinhead boot lace color codes? I mean, I'm sure some boneheads out there abided by it, but was it an urban legend?
Must be from out of town, I thought everyone knew the Great Gay Hanky Code is still enforced in certain circles around these parts? Of course, the Great Gay Earing Code has been defunct since '88, so staight fella's get a pass as far as that is concerned.
@DOUGSF: Sadly, the skinhead/Nazi skinhead (yes, there is a difference...) laces thing is true. It is still a big thing in parts of Germany and eastern Europe that have seen a rise in Nazi Skinheads. Its a scary ass trend, which I for one dont understand. Also, just wearing red/blue/green laces does not automatically put you in one group or the other...
Have any of you considered that maybe he actually is into getting poo'ed on?
I think Tiffany just pwned this thread.
They just came out of the costume shop on Summit and Pike. He purchased a turd costume and politely declined the bag because he was so excited he had to wear it out of the store.
Babeland is around the corner. Tonight's discussion group:
"Three Vitamin C's: Cock, Clitoris, and Coprophilia."
I think it's cute. I wanna get one just like it. Hottie.
Ya the hanky thing has been going on for awhile with total disregard to the Hanky color code. FINALY!
Gay guys should just give up on placing a sexual reference to almost everything they wear and do and just live more expanded lives instead of making a sexual cock and ass joke out of most normal conversation and attaching something sexual to things like hankies.
It was boring in the 70's and is completely stale and idiotic to keep hearing the same old crap about hankies.
And no one is going to go shit on him just because he is walking in an area someone has decided is "gay". Gay men do not automatically run after people and then shit on them because of the color of hankies.
Being gay sometimes can be a chore just because of the dumb ass codes and stereotypes.
heidy ho!
Well, I guess I'll take note and add this to a list that includes:
An earing in your right ear means you're gay.
Rolling up one pant leg to represent either the Eastside or the Westside.
etc.
I shit on your "hankie code".
I don't know about the pooh rag thing but the whole fashion sense of these hipsters nowadays is bland and has no edge.
The fifties had its t-shirt, leather jacket, and slicked back hair.
The sixties had its free-style hippie look.
The seventies was all about bell bottoms, loud shirts and feathered hair.
The decadent eighties fashioned new wave and heavy metal.
The nineties had the flannel grunge look.
The first decade of the new millennium--you dress like old people. Boring.
Hipster ARE old peopole, dip shit.
"the whole fashion sense of these hipsters nowadays is bland and has no edge."
Same with their rock bands.
Um, you all failed to realize that the girl in pink is actually the real Peter Pan on his way to pink up his custom powder blue Mercedes. See link for his face shot:

So, yes this confirms that the queen in brown is definately into the scat.
Cheers kiddies.
dunno the guy has a jeans and a hoodie kinda plain street clothing. Not exactly a good excuse for anti "Hipster" bashing. It is something many people ware. The hankie is old news, I have seen it for a number of years now being worn by guys and girls too. So I do not see what the big backlash is all about
some people are finally feeling out of style and old. Usually this is the main response of people deciding they were the hight of fashion years ago and now there is none. I think there is a good sense of fashion if you want to call it that or maybe individuality in people.
People just need to get over themselves it is just a hankie in a pocket. Really! it is! really! nothing else.
"Which in Great Gay Hanky Code means… um… that… you want someone to take a dump on you."
Is that pretty popular in the gay community Dan? To each his own but that sounds too weird even for you.
GAY dosnt like beign shat on... dosnt know what hes doing though
