Oh come on. These people are just over the top artsy types who have nothing in common with us hipsters/basement dwellers/Parkdilians/hoppy beer drinkers. They drink cosmos, wear nice shoes (except for Kasia) and have fun together. Don't be so darn critical, ffs.

Rather than being a vicious troll, I'll freely admit that these people are way cooler than me. Well...except Sam.

Sam is the only male there who doesn't seem completely bat shit crazy.

Eva's dress looks really cool, i just wish she was standing at a better angle to see the print! It looks like maybe printed silk, black cityscape with colourful flowers?

Dave, you're a cute guy but skinny jeans are made for skinny legs. Those things look like man leggings (or meggings).

Helen and Natalie have really aroused my interest in coordinating offices and augmenting things.

coin launch? that coin is going to be scarred for life and spend a lot of time in therapy...think suzan b. anthony dollar in the u.s.

Dave is "helplessly casual" and rocks a bowtie. You should see him when he's formal. He wears four tuxedos AT ONCE.

one more thing…. it would be nice if we could click on the photos to view them larger. i have no idea if that is a totally unreasonable idea- i know NOTHING of web design. just thought i'd put my 2 cents in!

Dave's pants are tighter than bark on an Oak tree.

Instead of actually having to go through the process of wearing pants, Dave could have achieved the same look by taking a bath in Pennzoil.

Today I learned that "helplessly casual" actually means "wearing my Carlton Banks halloween costume."

I'm not sure why you are all hating on Dave's pants... Showing your coin purse off at a "Coin Launch Party" seems completely acceptable to me.

Dave's one hand on glasses pose really shows he knows how to work it. He really has a handle on his accessories from the glasses, to the bow tie, right down to his socks. I'd like to see him sans pants.

What no jokes about Rafi calling himself a curator about all of the comments hatin' on the over-use of the word on this site (http://www.blogto.com/fashion/of-a-kind-vintage-toronto)?

As for the looks, all of the girls look great--smart outfits; smart girls. As for the guys, as bad as Sam's pants are, those shoes look fine and I suspect he is actually the most interesting / tolerable.

Come on.

Natalie is scrumptious though.

Guys...stop strangling your nuts!

If you're jeans are so tight that you can't sit down, no sir, your style is not called, 'Helplessly casual.'

I could go on... http://michaeljagdeo.wordpress.com/2011/10/21/comedy-routine-for-the-hipster-crowd/

I wonder if she's actually an augmented reality designer (that's a real thing). I doubt it.

To Eric26 and WitDickman, Helen is in fact an Augmented Reality Designer with a PhD and who has given Ted X talks, just because she is beautiful, doesn't mean she isn't brilliant. Here is you proof: http://augmentedstories.wordpress.com/
