Who invented the typical girl?

Subject: dodgers fans suck

Yasi-
you’re really a minority. thinking back to the lilith fair and the numerous times i’ve seen skeezoids freaking to the shittiest songs in da club, it seems that girls probably don’t have the best taste in music. but that’s where you’re different. a year ago you hip me to the band Pavement, and i feel like i’ve been cool since, thanks boo. so questions for yasi…

do you think girl’s musical taste is generally inferior to us?

i hear Pavement is scheduled for a brief reunion next year…do you think they will sound as good as they did when i first heard them substance free?

btw…the pop concept that you do too is crack and the good peoples in philly are like whats up with the dodgers fans just sitting there stale, like they dont give a fuck that their losing, thought of you.

Kwan,

I don’t really see how you can blame something like the fucking Lilith Fair on an entire sex. For every Dixie Chicks there is an equal amount of Nickleback, David Grey, Fall Out Boy and other shitty fucking music created by men. Bad taste in music is equal opportunity, so don’t give me some bullshit about how girls have inferior taste. Just go google Patti Smith, Kim Deal, Kelly Deal, Kim Gordon, Delta 5, The Slits, PJ Harvey, Poly Styrene, Siouxie, Penelope Houston, and about 50 million more I don’t feel like listing. (But you’re welcome for Pavement).

As for the rest of your email (and I’m genuinely trying not to be a bitch here) but I don’t really understand what it is you’re asking me. Are you asking if pavement sounds better to you when you are fucked up? Because even in my infinite knowledge, I don’t know the answer to this question. I could spend the rest of this paragraph speculating the other potential meanings of your question but I have important things to do. Like drinking my delicious pumpkin spice latte in the domo cup from 7-11 and writing haiku about the Indigo Girls.

Yasi,
In reading your blog, I’ve noticed that you’re always mentioning your tastes in literature and music, but what about the visual side of things? Who is your favorite visual artist? (if you have one, I know not everybody gets down with that type of stuff)

Scott,

I guess I reference literature and music most because I am enamored by words (which in music translates into lyrics).
But that doesn’t mean I don’t like visual art (I can see after all). I don’t pretend to know much about art but I do know what I like. In terms of older artists, Egon Schiele is probably my favorite. He worked mostly with nudes, and his grotesque, distorted view of the human figure is reflective of his views on sex and death. I also love Aubrey Beardsley, the illustrator who illustrated (amongst other things) many of Oscar Wilde’s works. In terms of contemporary artists, I love Barry McGee, Mark Ryden, and Miss Van. I also like Matt Furie, Meryl Smith, and Vanessa Prager . I love Ed Templeton (especially his 3D stuff with the word ribbons). In terms of photography, Rick Rodney is amazing, and so are Angela Boatwright , Amy Stein, and Shaniqwa Jarvis.

Also, everyone needs to check out Gino Hollander because he is fucking incredible.

I’m sure there are more but I can’t think of them at the moment so that’ll have to do. I’m sure you are unconvinced that I am at all an aesthete which is ok because I’m really not.

Oh please fulfill me, otherwise kill me.

Subject: your own blog?

Dear Yasi,
I am new to reading your blog, so I’m sure this question has been answered by one of the other idiotic people who spend at least a few hours a day checking The Hundreds blog like myself (mainly for the homepage and The Feed sections)… but how in God’s name did you get your own blog on The Hundreds web site? No disrespect intended, just wondering how any of what you seem to talk about has anything to do with a streetwear brand or if it has any right to be up on such a highly-read blog.

But, as I said, I’m sure this question has been previously answered. I’m just really fucking confused.

Eric,

Before I answer your question and make you less confused, I need to address some things about your email that I am confused about. You spend a few HOURS a day checking the Hundreds site? A few hours EVERY DAY? Do you read very very slowly? Are you without job, friends, girlfriend, school, magazines, television, or hobbies? Do you jerk off to Bobby’s tantalizing photos of the new Hundreds footwear? Do you jerk off to Bobby himself? Because outside of that I can’t see anything that would warrant spending hours a day perusing a street wear site. This is not CNN.com. There is no breaking news here.

Second, I’m not really sure what God would have to do with the decision making process regarding who gets a blog on this glorious site. I guess he has as much free time as you do.

I do realize that my section may not be as stimulating or intriguing as a real time account of limited edition whatever the fuck t-shirt collaborations or what super cool new Bearbrick just “dropped” and trust me I do not find my own writing even remotely interesting. So please know I am extremely humbled and grateful to be gifted with the great privilege of answering the moronic and often demented questions of grown men who spend a bulk of their disposable income on t-shirts and collect toys. I am undeserving and because of that spend my nights flogging myself with (uber exclusive) Supreme baseball bats. Please thank your all powerful “God” for me.

In conclusion, fuck you.

xx,
Yasi

Yasi,
You seem to be a very no nonsense kind of person. To some degree I think it’s why so many people visit your blog, we get a few minutes of reading some witty straight to the point lines that are so hard to find anywhere else now. I suspect you’re the girl at the bar sitting with some friends people watching who sees someone acting stupid, you smile to yourself, point out the idiocy to a friend, and then go about your business having taken a brief moment to relish the fact that you’re you, and not the idiot.

Getting to the point:
How many emails do you normally receive between posts on the blog, are they typically like tommy boys, and how painful is it to read the incoherent emails you get flooded with?

ps. dodgers or angels?

I’d be remiss if I didn’t first address some of the falsities in the first paragraph of your question. First off, I have plenty of nonsense in my life (in addition to absence of sense). Secondly, “so many people” do not visit my blog. Bobby recently sent us a list of the blogs in order of hit counts, and I’m pretty sure this one was below the Links section. And while I enjoy sitting at the bar mocking others as much as the next person (here’s looking at you, Hot Topic looking dude with the black nail polish and the chain wallet), it does not make me any less of an idiot.

That being said I probably receive about 7 emails between posts, 3 or 4 of which are from people asking me why Bobby won’t respond to their emails about selling Hundreds gear in their store or China based studios providing innovative and cost effective CAD drafting and design solutions that provide value to business needs. The rest are from either Thomas McCloud whilst drunk or that kid Zach Pop (with charming subject lines like “CUNT!”). It’s not so much painful as it is tedious and ultimately depressing as I come to terms with the fact that this is indeed my life.

In conclusion, while I do not have the time to watch 162 games a season of anything (as I am very busy pondering the meaning of life and watching hilarious youtube videos), I am from LA so go Dodgers.
