BOSTON UNCOMMON

Posted by: B & L

Spotted: No, that's not Lady Gaga, Readers. It's none other than....a real life hooker only steps away from Boston Common! She was on her celli, gabbing about "avoiding the 5-Oh," probably to her pimp.

Both B and L giggled all the way across the street, thankful that they didn't get caught, because she could have easily taken them both!!

...Brings back L's memories of elementary school conveniently located on Piedmont and Murray Ave. in "South Worcester."

Roger Sterling, is that you??

Spotted at the Boston Auto Show this past weekend.

Hmmmm..my, you haven't aged a bit!

BOSTON UNCOMMON

Stains

And the million dollar question: Poop or Chocolate? Weigh in, Readers!

BOSTON UNCOMMON

It seems as if we've gone from October right to December now! Brrrrrr!

Well, look at this db cruising along a crisp 45° evening with his top down!

B & L bet his balls are the size of raisins.

BOSTON UNCOMMON

L and Ike might have found a couple that, collectively, like being Italian more than Dave DiCenso:

On second glance, they joked that it could very well be them in five years, hah hah.

So sad and so true.

BOSTON UNCOMMON

Some Thursdays B and L rock out to RuPaul, and just absoultely adore her hit song, Tranny Chaser!

Well, while in the North End, L got the sillies and immediately thought of their carpool adventures when she saw the ?restaurant below.

B, this is for you!!

All giggles aside, L just found this post. SOFT-SERVED FILLED CUPCAKES?! Has anyone been to Trani? Please comment!

BOSTON UNCOMMON

Here we have what seems to be two buddies driving, hanging out, probably listening to some tunes.


Oh, but wait....

Could it be?

Is there really only one person in the Jeep? No, no - why would that be?



O.M.G. (!!) There really is only one person in the Jeep!!

Excuse me sir. In case you were unaware, that is not the carpool lane. There are no diamond shaped objects painted on the street. There are no signs for the HOV lane. Let's not forget - and this one is slightly important - Massachusetts the Pike does not have a carpool lane!!¹ Sorry buddy but you are out of luck.

P.S. If you are trying to dry your sweatshirt you might want to try lying it down on the seat or something otherwise people are just going to think the whole situation is strange.

1. ugh B usually doesn't make it out of her hometown!

BOSTON UNCOMMON

Spotted: D-Bag at S-Bux!

My triple venti soy (no-foam) sugar-free vanilla lattee just tastes better with my shirt wide open, exposing my freshly waxed chest.

Rrrrarrr.

BOSTON UNCOMMON

The horror! To kick off October and the ghoulish things that come with the month, check out this horror show below.

We have a woman who apparently did not get the memo that Crocs are not cute when you are not a kid or do not have to be on your feet all day long (e.g., working in a doctor's office or as a dental hygienist, etc.)


This outfit probably made the other tourists run away from her after seeing the horror of pairing bright orange Crocs with a purple tank (with the bra straps showing!) and forest green capris.

BOSTON UNCOMMON

Do you ever see super skinny bitches and just think to yourself, "oh my, go eat a cheeseburger!"???

Pictured below is a very, very concerned L, just watching the little Toothpick Man playing frisbee on the Esplanade by the Charles.

Not to be cliché, but if he turned sideways, he would truly disappear!!

BOSTON UNCOMMON

Whoa! Pictured here is a man, probably in his 50s, grinding on his lady friend at 4 in the afternoon...at the Cask n' Flagon! (a.k.a. NOT a dance club!)

The story: this guy and his older friends came to the Cask from the Sox game that just ended. It was clear that they didn't get enough to drink at the game or were upset they stop selling beer after the 7th inning. All you natives know that the Cask isn't quite the "griding on your woman" place.

So, they all show up at the cask to get their "driving" buzz going. He is wearing a tight pair of white denim jorts (jean shorts!) and a Red Sox ...basketball jersey? ...and starts dancing and grinding to the music of today!

Not a good scene at all!

BOSTON UNCOMMON

Spotted from across Beacon Street: Ronald McDonald's Girlfriend!

Now, even though you get a 15% Student Discount at Rugby, doesn't mean you should buy what's on sale. (Some things go on sale for a reason!)

Also: Uggs? It wasn't even officially fall when this picture was snapped (yea yea, all-season boot, L disagrees. Except for maybe in Australia or CA where they can get away with that. Boston? No.)!

I hope she didn't drop that bag, because we definitely would have seen her goodies and that's no Happy Meal.

BOSTON UNCOMMON

Boston Uncommon is generally reserved for some victim or victims who decided to not do a double take before leaving the house; however, in life, there are always exceptions.

Below is one of those exceptions.


Now don't get us wrong: B & L are all for declarations of love. It is sweet (and appreciated!) when your guy will tell his friends how much he cares for you or when he shows you how much he loves you, but this one seems to be taking things a little too far.

It makes you wonder why did the husband get a bumper sticker declaring his love when there are so many other ways to do it? Did the hubby need a little reminder? Or, is the wife that untrusting that she needed to put the entire public on notice that her husband has a wife and he loves her?

BOSTON UNCOMMON

As previously mentioned on this blog, B & L are all about proper outfit coordination, but completely matching your boy/girlfriend for a date (to the movies no less!) it is going a bit overboard.

Take note:


The girl wore all green: dress, flats, and earrings, while the boy wore a matching green polo.

We suppose if they were going to a Celtic's game or another sporting event (IF one of the colors is green) or if it were St. Patrick's Day we would let it slide, but, as previously mentioned this was at the movies and it is June (Read: No chance for St. Patty's celebrations, college events, and basketball season is over!).

Granted, there are times were coordinating an outfit is acceptable: themed parties¹; weddings; proms; pinnings or other formal affairs; however, a date to the movies in B & L's book is not considered a formal affair.

Each outfit alone could have been cute. The girl she probably should have mixed and matched some colors such as changing the flats for a pair of sandals - not green - and worn different earnings; together, however, the couple provides a complete overkill of green.

B & L should also note that this does NOT mean that you should not coordinate with your guy (or girl). When out, you should look like you're together. For instance, if you are going out to a nice restaurant with your guy, you should not be dolled up and your guy in a wrinkled t-shirt, jeans, and flip flops. You should look like you go together, but not that you had the "lets wear the same thing" conversation before you left the house.

1. Oh, we miss college fraternity parties sometimes! Outside of college, we really don't see enough "Pimps and Hoes" or "Foam Parties" as we should!

BOSTON UNCOMMON

B & L are all for outfit coordination and wearing comfortable shoes while walking around Boston, but we think this went a little too far:

It's just too matchy-matchy. Aside from Prom and pulling your duties as a Bridesmaid, when is it OK to wear shoes that exactly match your outfit?

Another item wrong with this picture: She is wearing Crocs. Cute on two-year-olds. Not cute on adults. (Unless, maybe you're in the nursing profession and you wear those colorful scrubs in the Children's Unit. Minority situation. Can also apply to Dental Hygienists.)

Ladies, please remember that there is something called too much coordination. Mix and match color, don't be afraid of them!

Unleash your inner fashion diva!
