want to see Hillbilly dressed up as Pippi Longstocking

Inger Nilsson is the ONLY Pippi Longstocking:

That's her on the left. (Thought I'd explain.) Astrid Lindgren is on the right.

Accept no imitations.

Me and Si are called Men Without Hats. The joke is that we're actually going to wear hats! HAHAHAHA LOL.

In the last 2 to 5 years there has been an increase in the popularity of certain characteristics stereotypically associated with some cycle messengers in some areas, exemplified in some cases by riding fixed gear bicycles, wearing messenger bags, utility based fashion and a youth oriented DIY culture. Many non-couriers have taken to organizing races and calling them Alleycats. Organizers in large urban areas are usually former messengers or part of a larger community while Alleycats in smaller cities and even suburban areas are organized and run by people who may never have worked as a bike messenger or developed the associated street and traffic handling skills.
