Poshlust's Top Ten Ways to be Hip this Fall

  1. Order Short at Starbucks. - You didn't know about the short size? Thats why it's so hip. Smaller than Tall, it's the perfect shot of Pumpkin Spice Latte, Vanilla Latte or whatever your heart desires. Hiply.
  2. Bring back the double kiss - That's right - anglophiles, assholes and the couth alike (I hear even the Swiss are doing it) - the welcome, hello, and goodbye all in one go. Plus you get to sample their perfume if you position your nose right. Kiss to your left, then your right. And for god's sake, forgo the air kiss. This is a great way to get close. Don't we all miss close?
  3. Smoke More Cigars - Is there a lot sexier than women and cigars? Especially women in jeans. Or maybe that's just me.
  4. Feed people. - The ones that don't need to be fed. Cook, entertain. In the smallest appartment, in the largest loft, feed them and ply them with booze and insist that they leave their shoes on and dance to the music, preferably jazz. And make them laugh, and eat too much.
  5. Be Mysteriously Single - Attractive, engaging.. Is s/he or isn't s/he? Why wouldn't they be? But are they? Just don't carry a knife or wear your lovers blood around your neck. That's obviously single.
  6. Stay up late. - Because it's just so much better in the witching hour. Even if you're the witch.
  7. D.I.Y. - Pie, scarves, hair dye - do it yourself. Or find somebody who can. Because bartering is under rated.
  8. Drink Your Grasshopper with a Lime - Lemons get all the fun, and the french people. And lime, lime just works. And you get to say "Grasshopper with a lime." C'mon.
  9. Take Back Cheese Shops - Not just for the faint of heart (ie - those with pacemakers) but for the twirty crowd (thats the twenty to thirties). Eat your weight in Mango Ginger Stilton and wash it back with Apricat Beer (simultaneously supporting your D.I.Y. local brewery) and thank god that you still look ok in stripes sans colostomy bag.
  10. Smile. Seriously. It opens doors.
