Editor's Picks 2009

Arts execs take a break from ranking Radiohead vs. Spoon to rank... whatever they feel like.

Poor Autumn, the NASA researcher/Princeton alum. Not only do you have to compete with Botox-happy Christi and sweet, but desperate, cougar Tully, but Antonio thinks going to an Ivy prevented you from learning about “life!” Girl go back and get a Ph.D.—maybe then you’ll be able to match Antonio’s ravishing intellect. Fat chance, though. Brooke wrote her own

“love contract” for him, so unless you have some kind of pre-date pre-nup drafted, perhaps Houston is the better man for you.

If you know what I’m talking about, props to you for following Shear Genius all the way to its spin-off death. Perhaps observing the intricacies of hair cutting onscreen has taught you to recognize that La Flamme is where you go for assisted suicide. Watching this twice is also marginally understandable—once in awhile Harvard FML is slow to load, and, I mean, you have to look at something in the meantime, right?

5. Herrell’s

While this establishment has since met its sad demise at the hands of the corporate machine, you might still be able to spot a plaid shirt and skinny jean-clad hipster or two roaming along Dunster Street. Be a sweetheart and treat him to a cone from J.P. Licks.

4. Crema Café

The next time you’re here, forget about bringing along cash. Bring a credit card to splurge a little on $10 worth of drinks and baked goods, because we all know that hipsters love their fair trade coffee and organic pastries.
