Style Bistro appears to be the instragram version of TMZ. It has various links and pictures to celebrities clad in the latest fashions. You scroll down until you find something you like, then clicking on it takes you to their pseudo slideshow. This slideshow attempts to be a celebrity article, but they decided against the traditional format and embarked on annoying everyone who visits their website. Not only do you have to scroll, swipe and dodge advertisements just to read their content, you must also dodge constant reminders to join their spam like newsletter. All this to literally read any single sentence in the article. Style Bistro isn’t a very popular website among any generation for these specific reason, but it serves the purpose of finding a generic fashion website geared towards the youth.
Style Bistro reads like a 50 year old man trying to relate to an 18 year old girl. Each slide features a celebrity along with a joke cracked at them for their getup. They even attempt to make very malicious comments about some of the featured celebrities. “But rather than spend that cash on pills and alcohol, she likes to buy retro-inspired bikinis and sunglasses.” Not only do they like to drive over eggshells with a monster truck, they also like to falsely label people. It seems like they ran out of famous “Hipsters” so they just started throwing in some stars like Ryan Gosling and Mischa Barton to fill the gaps. They weren’t even dressed like hipsters in their pictures, but they included them.
The way these writers talk about these actors and actresses, one would think that they weren’t actual people. I think the writers forget these are people because they point out the insignificance of their careers as of recent, they bring up old demons they’ve tried to forget, their facial hair and they criticize every piece of fabric on them. Yes, they spend a slide just mocking Michael Cera for his facial hair and saying he’s the king of all Hipsters. Not much can be expected of them, because they act like paparazzi. Yet I believe they are more houndish, because they are able to hide behind a shitty article. They scandalize these articles and they don’t hold back.
These articles also used published photographs found online, probably through other paparazzi sites, to critique them. The spend their careers just posting pictures of celebrities and judging them based on their looks. It almost seems like they pop these articles out all day so they neither think nor filter themselves when writing them. Just read this line. “Miley Cyrus cranks out the hits, but as this picture proves, she also enjoys listening to obscure ’60s bands, while wearing faded jeans at the laundromat. So hip.” The ‘obscure’ band T-shirt she was wearing was The Beetles. It honestly sounds like the website doesnt have an editor and they just publish the first thing that comes to the writers mind. The writer never explains why some of the celebrities are famous either. He just says they’re a hipsters and then points out what they’re doing in the picture, none of which is usually related to being a hipster.
