Ukufika kukaRobert, le ndoda, ikwi-60s yayo kwaye, uRobert wathi, mhle kwaye elungele iminyaka yakhe, wayephunga imartini; URobert wayalela iglasi yepinot noir. Emva kokuba kwenziwe iidrinki zabo, wabuyela kwigumbi lomfo, walala naye kwaye waba sisityebi se- $ 360.
Ndiyayithanda xa abathengi bendicela ukuba ndidibane nabo kwindawo ethile kuqala, utshilo uRobert ngobusuku obulandelayo, xa wayemisa ikofu kwiBafford Avenue cafe kwindlela eya kuvulo lobugcisa kwi-Lower East Side. (Wavuma ukuthetha naye Umjongi Kwimeko apho sisebenzisa isibizo.) Wayenxibe iijean eziqinileyo ze-Uniqlo ezifakwe kwizihlangu zomkhosi kunye neqhosha le-plaid-phantsi elalifakwe esifubeni ngabanqumli bakaMarc Jacobs. Indinika ithuba lokuba ndithandeke, uqhubeke. Yakha umnqweno wabo. Benze ukuba bandifune.
URobert wavakala ngathi yingcali ekuvumela ukuba ungene kwisicwangciso esiliqili. Okwangoku, akabonakali ngathi bayibiza ngokuba yipro Umthetho kunye noMyalelo . Ubuncinci ukuba umbonile esitratweni, ungacinga ukuba ubonakala njengaye nawuphi na umlenze oneminyaka engama-23 ubudala owafudukela eWilliamsburg kuba kwakupholile kunalo naliphi na ihlomela ledolophu elalimzeleyo. Kodwa yena-ukusebenzisa ibinzana lakudala lase-Bhritane okwangoku sisigama esithandwayo kwamanye amadoda asebenza lo msebenzi-inkwenkwe erentayo, ethengisa ubuqabane bayo, isondo okanye enye into, ngerhafu ephezulu yeyure. Uye wahambisa ngaphezulu okanye kancinci ixesha elipheleleyo malunga nesiqingatha sonyaka ngoku, esenza kangange- $ 3,000 ngeveki. Ngaphambi koko wayesebenza kwiVenkile yeApple malunga ne- $ 15 ngeyure.
Andizange ndicinge ukuba ndiza kuyenza le nto, watsho, kodwa luhlobo nje olusetyenzisiweyo lokuba eneneni kumnandi kakhulu!
Lelinye lawona mabali amadala kwesi sixeko, ewe. Uninzi lwethu emva kuka-Ashley Dupre eNew York, igama elikhaphayo lityhila imifanekiso yama-tryst aqaqadekileyo phakathi kwabasetyhini abahle kunye nabapolitiki abanempembelelo okanye amanye amalungu oluntu oluphakamileyo.
Kuthulekile kakhulu, kwaye necandelo elincinci kakhulu kuqoqosho lokuthengisa ngomzimba, ngamadoda azalisa indima efanayo: ukubiza amaxabiso aphezulu (nangona edla ngokungabi phezulu njengoNks. UDupre) ukudibana nabathengi abazizityebi, ngaphandle kokusebenza ezitratweni.
Ezingqondweni zabaninzi eNew York, abangaziwa (okanye, kule meko, abantu abangaziwayo) ngesini esithandanayo eNew York ikhule ukusuka kwiingcambu zayo ze-1970. Inikwe amandla yiCraigslist kunye namaphepha angasemva e- Ilizwi leLali , kusenokwenzeka ukuba akusafuneki ukuba ibandakanye inkxalabo, abantwana abajingayo abajikelezayo ukufikelela kumda osentshona wesithili sokupakisha inyama. Kodwa kukho i-aura eyahlukileyo yokwenza imbewu eyothusayo abafundi ngokwaneleyo ukuba benze iindaba ezinkulu ngezi zityholo zidibene phakathi kwe-Colorado mega-umshumayeli u-Rev Ted Haggard kunye ne-masseur yakhe ebetha impempe, okanye u-Boy George ebopha indoda eyayi hustler udonga lwendlu yakhe yaseMonti.
Ewe amakhwenkwe arentayo ngamanye amaxesha azifumana esecaleni kwelanga lenkcubeko yepop, njengaxa baboniswa nguMlambo iPhoenix noKeanu Reeves kwi Eyam Idaho yabucala , Imuvi bhanyabhanya yendlela ka-Gus Van Sant yakudala yowe-1991 malunga nobuhlobo phakathi kwababini abahustler abangamadoda. UMike Jones wafumana isivumelwano sencwadi kunye nokuvela kukaDeborah Solomon Iphephancwadi iNew York Times ikholamu emva kokubhengeza ubudlelwane bakhe bobuchwephesha beminyaka emithathu noMfu Haggard. Kwaye ngubani onokulibala eyakhe iMasonhattan uJason Preston, owayekade ekhapha owayedume ngokuthandana noMarc Jacobs iminyaka emibini? Ukhethwe ngenye indlela kwiphepha lakhe le-MySpace elitshixayo iingalo kunye no-Courtney Love kwaye ebuza ngokungathandekiyo kwisikipa esingenamikhono se-Smiths esityhila ii-tatoos ezininzi zeenkwenkwezi ezingalweni zakhe, ungathi umnumzana u-Preston oneminyaka engama-28 wayengumzekelo ogqibeleleyo wento a inkwenkwe eqeshisayo inokuzenza eNew York: indawo yedolophu ekuhlaleni kunye nezobugcisa.
Kodwa okwangoku uRobert akafuni kwicandelo lemifanekiso yeqela IPhepha iphephancwadi; ukuba yinkwenkwe yerenti kule meko yezoqoqosho ibanda kakhulu kuthetha ukuba nakho ukufikelela kubomi bezixeko ezimba eqolo abathi abanye abantu abaninzi kwimisebenzi efanelekileyo bazabalaze ukuyigcina.
Inkwenkwe eqeshisayo yehipster ingangumntu okrelekrele kwaye unezinye izinto ezininzi eziqhubekayo, amabhongo amaninzi, kodwa ngubani oqondayo ukuza apha ukuba uhlala kuyo yonke indlela yokuphila yaseNew York izakubiza kakhulu, utshilo uSean Van Sant, umphathi we-US KwiRentBoy.com, iwebhusayithi esekwe eManhattan edibanisa ukuhanjiswa kwamadoda kwihlabathi liphela kunye nabo bafuna iinkonzo zabo. Umnumzana uVan Sant ucace gca kulo mkhwa ungacacanga wenkwenkwe le irente: Nangona ukujonga nje ngeRentBoy.com kuyakudiza ukungabikho kwenyama yenkomo Umdlali odlalayo Iindidi zemodeli (ubuncinci isihlanu sazo, utshilo uMnu. Van Sant, zichanekile; isitabane senzelwe umvuzo), ifani yakhe yobungcali ikhumbula eyona maestro Idaho apho unyana osisibonda kasodolophu, edlalwa nguMnu. Reeves, ehamba ngendlela yakhe kwilizwe loluntu lweehipster ngaphambi kokuba enze iinguqulelo zeNkosana uHal.
Usemtsha eNew York kwaye unomdla wokunxiba; ufuna indawo yokuhlala ebhetele, mhlawumbi nemoto, uqhubeke uVan Sant. Uyaqonda ukuba kuya kuthatha ixeshana ukuya phambili nakowuphi na umsebenzi afuna ukuqhubela phambili kuwo, ngakumbi ukuba uyabamba okanye uyenza okanye ubugcisa. Kwaye ubala ukuba angongeza impilo yakhe ngokusekwe kwinkangeleko yakhe yedwa.
Oku kwakuyinyani ku-Shy (elo ligama lesidlaliso ngamanye amaxesha alisebenzisa ngobungcali), igcisa elinomtsalane elineminyaka engama-28 elihlala e-Williamsburg. Iintloni zafudukela esixekweni ukusuka kumantla eNew York malunga neminyaka emine eyadlulayo ukugqiba iBFA yayo. kwiSikolo soBugcisa boBugcisa. Emva konyaka ethathe iiklasi ngokusisigxina kwaye esokola ukubhatala irenti yakhe eyi-1,100, amatyala kunye nezinto zobugcisa ngemali awayezenza kwimigocagical freelance gigs-set design, photography, etc.- yayilixesha lePlani B.
Xa ubunyani bezemali buba nzima kakhulu, kwakungekho kucinga ngako, utshilo uShy, ophendule umnxeba ngokungathi wayeqhele ukufowunelwa ngamadoda angahleliyo xa intatheli yayimtsalela umnxeba ngaphandle kweblue ngolunye urhatya. Kwakungathi, ' Yenze ! ’Amaphepha:1 Mbini 3
