When it comes to lampooning hipster excesses, leave it to blogger Lauren Modery to hit the tiny nail on the tiny head. Modery, aka Hipstercrite, specializes in documenting a certain kind of Austin lifestyle (y’all know what we mean), and her observational humor is somehow both self-conscious and ultimately nonjudgmental. Her “Dear People Who Live in Tiny Fancy Houses” found her in perfect form, building a list of innocent-seeming questions into the argument that the tiny houses so currently en vogue were destined to end up as overly precious “hot boxes” of, um, flatulence, lacking even basic comforts. (“Even that dog is like, 'Where the fuck is the bed, guys?'”) She confessed to some envy at the end, Mashable picked it up, responses were penned, and everyone ended up all warm and fuzzy-feeling – in other words, at home.
