Greg, left; and Chelsea. — Photos by Laura Feinstein. Click to enlarge.
In an attempt to re-start-up some of the hot Bushwick clothing porn that was the short-lived "Street Style," we’ve contracted fashion buff Laura Feinstein to harrass you people on the streets of the neighborhood and show the rest of us what weird/fabulous ideas you may have in the way of dress. Or maybe you are just rocking your v-neck in a particularly amazing way — you know, like, you actually have some sort of chest to fill it out. We hope it gels into something solid, regular, and above all, entertaining — please also chime in with comments about what we should call this feature. –BushwickBK
Last Sunday, New York was turned into one huge concert as musicians all over the five boroughs took to the streets, nightclubs, and parks as part of Make Music Festival NYC. Here in Brooklyn, BushwickBK — when not being rained out of our own Make Music gig — roamed some of the local haunts to scope out some of the area’s most fashionable music lovers.

Where shot: Goodbye Blue Monday
Greg stood out for his summery ’20s throwback white linen attire amidst a sea of neon and flannel t-shirts and jeans. Something about him made us thirsty for a mint Julep and some sunshine.
What inspired your outfit?
My band actually played at Make Music last year [on the summer solstice], so we all decided to dress summery. The stains are from when I got a little too drunk, and fell down, and then got a little sad.
What is the name of your band?
We’re called Maybe the Welders.
Chelsea Vigue, 26, photo right
Where shot: Northeast Kingdom
Despite the torrential downpour, Chelsea was bright and bouncy in pre-labor day white shoes, black spandex pants, and a cropped stripped sweater.
What are you doing at Northeast Kingdom?
I’m actually in one of the bands playing, Lady Magma. We already played one show earlier today at the Rabbithole in Williamsburg and we’re going on later tonight.

Anyone else tired of this bullshit pigeon toe stance hipster girls use when they are photographed?
Professional Alternative July 1st, 2009 at 9:30 am
Yeah, it’s ruining my life and something must be done.

I think the “pigeon toe stance” is completely chic. Creates a flattering leg shape, and an all together more contemporary silhouette. Head on, mid-walk or toe in are the only ways to pose for a an on the street fashion shot and not look cheesy, dated, or like you’ve never paid attention to fashion in your life. I mean, I don’t hate on the 90′s when it was all hands on hips, leg cocked out to the side…but I’ve moved on.

First of all, my Dad has duck feet, and he can’t help it – did you ever think that maybe this lovely vixen was born pigeon-toed? Secondly, I think she is lovely. Thirdly, I agree with what Jessica said, even though I don’t understand it. Fourthly, all you people angry at hipsters – pot, kettle, black?

“Pot, kettle, black” indeed. There’s a LOT of that from those who comment on the content of this site. Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.
