Devastating photo by Pete F. Really we’re fucked. This is the end. Not even the Hudson River Valley could offer such a hideous dystopia. The fallen sign says “Adorno and Horkheimer out – Gina Reinhart in.”

without doubt the finest Worst of the year
it has everything – blue sky, visual pollution, rotting palm fronds, telegraph poles, lumpy sidewalks, utes, weedy mulch, skimpies, tattoos, piercing, bellicose overpaid selfish rednecks and a ten dollar counter lunch.
that’s the whole of Perth, right there.

Everything is perfect. The British Expats need to uderstand that it is every element coming together that makes this great. Yes tits and beer sound good at 11am, but it is the depressing reality in the setting of this cornucopia of shite that is the point.

What is a skimpy?
LikeLike
Dude, I hoped you would ask that. A skimpy is the registered lawn of barmaids. The sign is asserting that the barmaid after 11am will be sans uper clothing – or at least will have transparent clothing. A dispiriting and depressing spectacle. Picture a young woman without a top serving mumbling old derelicts and other freedom fighters in an ugly bar.

No. No HRV skimpies. A couple of pole dancers up around Saugerties and some gay go-go-boys in New Paltz but that’s about as sleazy as we get.

A skimpy must be at the same time depressing and dispiriting. There must always be the tension that she might – for a couple of dollars bury the visage of some broken old derelict in her cleavage, and then move on to gamble the price of a jug of the shittiest lager with the toss of a coin. Man, you need to come here to experience the skimpy culture.
