Lolita Ya - Ya



The first few posts of this blog will exerepts from an article I just finished documenting the conversations between the elusive Socialite and Actress Lola Quentin and her best friend and my favourite musician Skylaur Robinson.



I happen to bring up a recent WWD post where Rachel Strugatz called her a 'Hipster':


Skylaur Robinson:
Fucking Hell. Hipsters ruin the things i love


Lola Quentin:
(laughs) Even if I was a the blonde star makes quotation marks with her hand as if to point out the idiocracy of the descussion "Hipster" the real hipsters would never use that word,  they detest the word.


SR:
I always forget you hang around Chloe Sevigny, and the rock star throws on a incredibly convincing
American accent, that if it were genuine could secure her a spot at E! News according to US Weekly you're dating director Spike Jonze
LQ:
(laughs) Shut up! Spike is a dear friend and only a friend. Trouble maker. 
SR:
I know, I know. I think as familiar with quote un-quote hipsters as you are, I mean, I'm English, we hang around Alexa Chung. You hang around the East End and say that one bloody word, they hiss and hold up a cruisifix


LQ:
Yes, yes trying to destroy their individulaism and all that "hipsters" the acress repeats mockingly with her scarlet painted fingers in quotations that call themselves hipsters are just suburban kids trying to be cool
Everyone knows that.


(I breifly interject myself into the conversation)
NRS: i'm confused as to where you stand on this topic


SR:
if you're going to be A REAL hipster, protest the mainstream, stop watching Glee, talk about obscure things, watch Fellini, develop your own personal style. Just because you know where Urban Outfitters is and own a plaid shirt and wear ripped jeans DOES NOT make you hipster. Hipsterdom is about establishing your individualism


LQ:
okay good, so we're on the same page


it's just annoying to me that kids who grew up in rural suburban areas and have no real concept of city life wear a fucking beanie and roll their eyes at everything and suddenly they're hipsters the actress procedes with a stoner voice that is not only hystrically funny but so convincing it's no wonder the young woman as made just as many appearances on SNL as Justin Timberlake
 "i own a pair of TOMS. That's why I'm hipster and I have hair like Robert Pattinson"


GGAAAAHHHH!!!!
the childhood friends scream in unison like sugar high sixteen year olds


SR:
they get those boots and some ray ban type sunglasses


LQ:
FAKE RAYBANS! Fakes are never in fashion.


SR:
Thank You Glenda Bailey.
Oh, you know what we forgot?
those flat ankle boots


LQ: Oh I went to Venice Beach the other day and Oi! They are to VB what Uggs are to the Valley


SR:
Well said it to Nicole [Richie] just the other day, what is the point of an ankle boot with no god damn heel?


LQ:
I don't know it's madness. But how excited are you for their wedding?
