Procrastination Station- June 17

Posted on June 17th, 2015

So, Yuccies are a thing now.  Defined by David Infante as Young Urban Creatives, Yuccies represent the intersection of the Yuppie and Hipster lifestyles.  They are also a point of contention.  Are you a Yuccie?  I am not.  (Shocker, I know)  But I’m not sure how I feel about that?

Ah, elections.  While I was busy reading about Caitlyn Jenner (and ogling the photos– I covet that hair/makeup/wardrobe team), I digested Vanity Fair‘s musings on the disappearance of social issues as a major platform point and what it’s replacement will be.  “What Will Be the GOP’s New Social Issue”?  See for yourself!

As a completely objective third party, I was also amused by their coverage of dress code drama at the Yale Club.  As a member of the Penn Club, which is right down the block completely different, I simply couldn’t relate. 😉

And finally… The Aspirational Yes.  So very common among millennials.  RSVPing “yes” to an event, when you really mean no, or at best a soft maybe.  I avoid this like the plague because being seen as a flake is a huge fear of mine, but appreciated seeing the phenomenon documented.

See?  I told you this week would be an improvement.  Happy reading!
