What is a hipster? Look at this fucking hipster...

I know I should have taken a picture ... I feel like I've talked here about him before...

He's quite lanky, about 6'2"ish, dark haired, very pale. He's mainly attired in your classic normcore gear: Lord Anthony, brown action slacks, the sorts of knockoff versions of Clarks that only people who presented late 80s 'Micro' tv shows could have worn, that sort of thing. He has some thickish steel-framed lenses in a very unfashionable style. Basically pretty untemarkable looking.

But - and it's a pretty big but- he's wearing a pyramid on his head made of brass or copper wire (quite thick, about 4 or 5mm). It sits snugly on his crown, the point only sticks up an inch or two.

I saw him maybe ten years ago on New Oxord St. Walking west. Last week I saw him on Oxford Street, around corner of Gt Titchfield St, I think early evening. Walking west. Dunno if the direction of travel is significant. Oxford Street definitely is the common factor here.

Has anybody ever seen this guy? He's my favourite random Londoner. So gutted I didn't take, or ask even ask him to pose for, a photo.

Googled man london pyramid.

I've seen that guy in the big Forbidden Planet on Shaftsbury Avenue!

there have been people wearing them around Camden."

Tight.

That was a good article, I feel the author was royally ribbing him with mates till she got a very eloquent answer from the man him self. This piece is the apology lol.

I wonder what Dom k does for a living, I bet hes fucking awesome pissed. Like Garth Merenghi

Some guy last sunday morning started hurling abuse at my mother and I when she was parking up to help me drop some stuff off in Shoreditch.

He was wearing some kind of prayer shawl, a top hat, was carrying a gold goblet with a long gold chain attached to it, and had some kind of oil on his hand and side of face.

After asking him to stop banging on the window of my mum's car he started hurling homophobic abuse at me before legging it.

If anyone knows this local 'character', please smack him in the mouth for me, thanks.

Meanwhile in east London

interesting shoes

His legs are clearly of different lengths. Given the time, this may well have been as a result of polio.

Does that also account for his overly tall head?

as you can see from their clothing pockets hadn't been invented yet so it was customary to carry your possessions in your headwear. hence the phrase "keep it under your hat".

THey do say Pharrell is older than he looks

Pharrell's hat is way closer to the camera than Pharrell is.

Thanks for helping me not think I was imagining him.

Would actually like one of these just to be wierder.

Most of those belong in photo of the day!

Haha that's actually pretty spot on!

Have we had Declan yet?

The advert looks great, but sounds like the kind of promotional video you get for some useless tat in a hardware store.

I get a Declan for free every time I get a new pair of glasses.

They are surprisingly affordable.

Seems like more of an ad for everything else in the vid than for a piece of cloth.
