One of our very own blog moderators decided to go undercover late night at infamous grocery store and known grunge hang-out Harris Teeter.

V-neck. Zip hoodie. Plaid pajama pants. CheckCheckCheck!

Little did they know that he was still wearing deodorant and had brushed his teeth. One can only be so authentic.

“As a friend and I walked into the Carrboro Harris Teeter to rent a movie, we were disappointed to find the red box out-of-order. However, our spirits were brightened when – entering the store in a cloud of dirt and cigarette smoke – was the plaid mafia, the ultimate hipsters. They took a minute
from their crazy night to visit the novelty that is a chain grocery store. Beneath them, yes. However you can’t get cheap packaged, stale sweets and free pineapple samples anywhere else past 10pm. Ah, the munchies.

What is the lovely lady wearing as pants? My friends, it is the onesie – for adults of course. Cozy, comfortable and of course, eclectic, girlfriend paired it with a nice plaid flannel to hide her hairy legs and attract wanted attention. I wonder how long it takes her to go to the bathroom in that ensemble?

We didn’t purchase anything at Harris Teeter. We simply stalked this group until we got close enough to take a picture.”

Sporting an old baby-poo colored jacket, Almira gulch was spotted across from Armadillo Grill atop a brand new salmon pink bicycle.

My what a crisp, mild day to eat cage-free eggs and organic cheese grits! Let’s see who else was slurping up fair trade coffee at brunch-time!

I could barely make it out of the car before I ran into this beauty — the personification of Carrboro fashion — a paragon of organic chic, if you will. This is a fantastic purple…thing…(read: moo moo), paired with some HOT blue pants. She must have just gotten back from the stylist, as indicated by her awesomely done-up hair. And of course, one would not complete a fashionable Carrboro outfit without a “locally grown” accessory tote. I wonder if she is locally grown? Or the bag? Or that cute little tomato illustration?

Get ready for hottie number 2! So I got my cage-free eggs and fair trade coffee and I was STARVING. But I had to pull out the phone to get a discreet photograph of this awesome hat/sweater combo. Who knew you could tear up a mexican blanket and wrap it around a straw hat!? Unfortunately from this angle, you are missing the feather on the other side. And of course, Yankee Doodle’s Mexican hat goes wonderfully with the ginormous herringbone.

JUST MY LUCK to run into the Carrboro Herbal Essences model! Damn, this was my lucky day. I don’t think she was very happy at the moment I snapped this beauty. Maybe she just found out how wasteful it is to purchase bottled water. Give up the Poland Spring! Goodness, I hope she recycled it at least. Anyways, the moral of the story is that organic shampoo should be paired with LOTS of organic conditioner.

I hated that this came out blurry! But this was another discreet shitty camera phone moment. I couldn’t resist though, this guy has the full package! Bandana…check. Dreds…check. Facial hair…check. Proletarian ethics…check. Damn, son.

Oh goodness, that was a yummy brunch, but I had to get out of Weaver Street. They were going to send me to the gulag if I kept taking pics. But fortunately Harris Teeter is right near by! And that’s where I found this beauty on the left. I have never seen a big girl bust slack before, but boy was I missing out! I had to do a double-take because I just saw Precious last night…

Stay tuned for more lovelies from the People’s Republic of the Piedmont!

Hello world!

We have all laughed our assess off to PeopleofWalMart.com

Now its time we literally cast a critical lens on the community who sneers at Wal Mart and other big-box stores.

So welcome to People of Carrboro!

The Peoples’ Republic of the Piedmont is truly an eclectic society —hipsters and hippies living together in peace and prosperity.

So why not wander down Weaver Street and capture some paragons of proletarian fashion? Lets do it!
