Oh yes, the Bay Area takes the cake when it comes to scarves and shawls. They are everywhere and the perfect accessory for the cool summer nights but still add drama to a look. Layering clothes is big in SF too.

You have very keen observations skills.

Any discussion on the humble Prius cannot be complete without the ubiquitous Coexist bumper sticker.

I was thinking of that one but was on tip of my tongue. This is also combined with the Hope Obama sticker and a personalized license plate like ECO GRL or 50MPGPRS for maximum effect.

too high emissions, I would need to build a 20gallon compost or get a high efficiency toilet in order to compensate. Then again there would be more storage space for my gluten free crossaints and extra cupholders for my kombucha so... you talk a hard bargain.

If they are younger, referred to as trustafarians...(trust fund rastafarians) i.e. some white kid with dreads driving a brand new volvo suv pulling out of whole foods with 500 dollars in groceries and health food products, probably a 10k bike on the back and 5k kayak on top, dressed in organic cotton/hemp threads or some over priced stuff from REI and of course the newest iphone is a MUST!
on the back will be some GE free stickers, END this LESS WAR, etc.
..and I'm willing to bet that he doesn't have a job, either...
