goth foodfight! he he. so a goth who only identifies himself as "stockyard channing" wrote in complete disgust about sunday's tres fun looking goth beauty pageant. i thought the hipster pseudo goth revival was supposed to be ironic! weren't we all poking fun at gothdom like 5 minutes ago?
"I know that this is the trendiest egroup in NYC, but I'm a bit disappointed that none of you (c'mon, Daniel, you've got brains!) turkeys did any homework. If you had, you'd know that there has beena Gothic Beauty Pageant in NYC for many years now. It's been held by actual goths at ALCHEMY, not the trendies with pathetic connections to Details magazine and other, poseur shittt. Now that you trendies (by the way, that article on "Visions of the Apocaplypse" just showshow they're shamelessly ripping off the goth scene) know that there is another pageant and that its been run by a real scene, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? Are you going to try to reach out to the already existing pageant and invite its organizers, judges, etc. on-board? Or are you just going to rip them the fuck off?I'm nominating Ashley Simpson as your "gothic" beauty queen! Makes me wanna move back to Portland! See yous in the pit!- Stocki"

50 most loathsome new yorkers. ha!
The list includes both Bloomberg (#1) and Giff Miller, the Olsen brats, Lohan, Sarah Lewitinn of TENAFLY NEW JERSEY where I went to middle school, Carlos D (wrong), Eliot Spitzer (wrong again), Larry Tee, Nick Denton (I heart gawker) and my fave: Bruce Smolka--devil incarnate.
17. Bruce Smolka NYPD Assistant Chief
February 1999: Officers in Smolka's NYPD's Street Crime Unit pump 41 bullets into Amadou Diallo. February 2003: Smolka illegally orders horseback-mounted police to charge a group of peaceful antiwar demonstrators. April 2003: Smolka confronts a group of about 100 demonstrators in front of the Carlyle Group's headquarters with 300 officers outfitted in full riot gear. August 2004: Responsible for securing midtown during the RNC, the smoldering chief could be found standing on "his" perimeter, head clean-shaven, blue eyes piercing, chin jutting, arms folded across his chest like an urban Patton. He personally oversaw the illegal arrest and detention of hundreds during the convention. Then, humiliated by August's 5000-strong Critical Mass ride, he deployed the NYPD's full force in an effort to control the monthly gathering. Until December, that is, when federal judge William Pauley ruled against Smolka's request for an injunction to stop the ride. The only upside of being arrested by this thug is that you have an excellent chance of getting off when your case finally comes before a judge.
