Wow - does anyone else find the name "mis-shapes" ironic. People, eat a cheeseburger for christ's sake. You lool like malnurished kids from Kenya, but of course they don't where sparkly headbands and shirts. Seriously. You are not making next top model no matter how hard you try to seem like you're from NYC or LA. Its Austin people, can't we have our own style?

They have the hive mind. They think as one. And their hive mind has horrible taste.

The same reason they all think Full House and Golden Girls are the best shows ever made.

Why are these kids all dressed like Salvation Army mannequins?

guest

We shall be attending the last Misshapes party in NYC Sept. 8th. And as for Austin? The kids are alright.

^^^ the pictures of the children lined up on the wall thinking they're models is just hilarious. The boys! HA! Love it. Funniest fucking thing I have seen in about a month. Thank you!

http://www.outwithme.com/public/austin/riot/pictures/_mg_0976.html I'm supposed to WANT to see that naked?!

check out http://www.outwithme.com/public/austin/riot/riot.html more MisShapes photos from that night. there are more than just 12 people in those. and also, the afterparty was the shit. who cares about bad style when it all comes off in the pool!!

the scowls in a lot of these photos really make me laugh. in several instances i think the sleeveless look needed to be audited a bit. a couple pushups or pullups were in order unless the plan was to replicate the style of participants in a richard simmons fitness video. aside from fashion do's and don'ts the music selections were the most in need of a "make over." tracks played were bland, unoriginal, and lacking of any character quite like the personalities of those behind the laptop that evening.

#11 I'm from right here and I have enough sense to know the difference between an interesting look (ie: Fashion) and something someone bought from Urban Outfitters thrown together with a sparkly headband (ie: total and utter crap as seen in most of the above photos). I mean come on, it was a Misshapes party -- the people that went had to know they were going to be photographed and put on a website -- what gives? This red state loses, this time.

Look at all the smoking inside the Beauty Bar. The owners better hope nobody at APD checks out Austinist or they're gonna be in the shit.

Is the entire point of being hip to find the most ridiculous outfits and pretend it is Halloween every night?

guest

Say what now?

How disappointing! I don't know why I was expecting Blue States Lose wackiness too (god bless those crazy 15 year olds and the 36 year olds who enable/love them).. Why did some girl under the age of 63 carry a LV handbag? To the Misshapes party?? And were there only 12 people there? oh well...

guest

Oye! The kids in #12! HA! They are going to hate themselves soooooooooo much in about 5 years.

guest

The bottom photo is so awkward. I don't think Austinist knows just how uncomfortable it is for some of us to see two totally ugly chicks wearing vests for fuck's sake shyly attempting to touch boobies.

You know, Austin used to have its own style. Yes, the "must-have" accessory was flip-flops, but at least it was a genuine look. These pics are simply depressing (and silly, which could be a good thing, if they weren't so depressing). Isn't it maybe time to dispense with the Pabst, too?

guest

funny how the only people in the above comments comparing austin to ny are, you guessed it, former new yorkers. no worries tho, i think this look is absolutely retarded in both austin AND ny, so we all lose :-)

Or kill yourself.

If looking at Austin scenester kids is so painful, you can always move back to New York.

guest

Mon, 27 Aug 2007 20:02:27 -0600

amen #7. austin - new york. there is NO comparison. moving here from there is so depressing and you really realize how hard people try to imitate the natural style of new york. please kids, stop!!

guest

Lame; it's the new cool.

guest

Mon, 27 Aug 2007 16:37:24 -0600

I am so glad I am not cool anymore.

guest

Mon, 27 Aug 2007 16:33:48 -0600

I'm a little embarrassed how terrible everyone from Austin looks in comparison to the NYC'ers. Austin "scenesters" please stop trying so hard. Or maybe try harder. Good lord. That's not even good-bad, that's just bad-bad. Especially you, mister sparkly headband.

That place was flooded with emaciated boys wearing sleeveless T-shirts, as well as tight jeans and little hats. It was last year's look in New York.

It looks like the wait for the bathroom was unusually long that night...

I see that the sleeveless-tee is being rocked quite regular-like. Sweetness.

I think it's amazing that The MisShapes aren't even sweating. It makes me wonder if they're people or robots.

don't get your hopes up on making Blue States Lose, kids. From the looks of these pics, Justin was the party.
