how cheesy

About the whole: cheese debacle.
It seems wherever you find speciality food shops, you find pathetic yuppies who romanticize the bohemian lifestyle of the minimum-wage food-service workers who are employed there.

Clafouti,
Record stores,
And every barista working at every gourmet coffee shop ever (I should know, I was one).
Ladies:
The real reason these boys are not going home with you, probably has a lot to do with the fact that they (without a handy employee discount) can not afford the pretentious, overpriced gourmet goods that you are so willing to waste your time and money on.
Lose 20 pounds, acquire a new wardrobe at your nearest thrift/vintage shop, buy these kids a case of 50 and give them a lead on a gig for their band, or a new media job that pays more than 8 dollars an hour and their heart is yours.

    I think it’s pretty documented that 90% of indie pretty-boys prefer their girls to look like (literally emaciated) starving artists.
    Hey, I am sympathetic to neither side of this escapade.
    I myself enjoy eating cheese more than I do shopping for it…

    That store looks like the terrible execution of an idea that was lousy to be begin with. While very tasty, cheese should in no way be the sole purpose for anyone to make a special trip anywhere. That is being greedy.

    Also: I don’t like starving death girls. Though, also, I’m no indie-pretty-boy.

    Oh dreamy, dreamy Travis. I find you suitably indie, and pretty to boot!
    If I were a bored yuppie housewife, I would totally have a crush on you.
    Give the man a new media job already!

    very true about the emaciated girls. I assumed that’s what you meant, but I wanted to double check.
    I think indie boys like emaciated girls because they are secretly gay and emo and want a girl with a body like theirs.

    or I’m just being glib.

    both are probably true. :p
