Operation Slob

Somehow the rad folks behind Overflow Mag saw beyond my annoying teen speak (immeds, -n-shit) and faulty grammatical choices and asked me to write an actual article that they ACTUALLY printed in their actual Winter '11 magazine. AMAZING.

Even more amazing, it's an ongoing series!

I'm going to be attempting to explore some of the most rampant Park Slope stereotypes by hitting the streets (like a real journalist!) and then seeing whether or not these things are actually true.

First up, an ode to Faux FIPS: Do all Park Slope Moms always look like shit?

And yep: I conducted a REAL EXPERIMENT people. I combed the streets of Park Slope (and even endured FUCKING BRUNCH AT TWO BOOTS), awarding moms' via a point system I concocted: 1 point for a nice outfit, 1 point for make-up (it didn't even need to look good...as long as you were wearing make-up, you got a point), 1 point for hair that wasn't in a rat's nest ponytail, and 1 point for nice shoes. So 4 points total were avail to any MILFS I passed.

If I were you I would pick up an actual mag (here's a list of spots around town to find it), cause duh: I'm sure you'll wanna frame this shit. But if you just can't wait to see how Park Slope mamz fared, and/or you are supremely lazy, you can also read Operation Slob online (page 48). Oh yeah, and also all the other good shit in the mag...and trust: there's lots of it!

Have at it, folks.
