Sent to us by SocialNesting, this is a clip from US show Portlandia, which gently pokes fun at the oh-so-ripe-for-it Portland craft/alternative scene. If you’ve ever visited Etsy, been to a craft fair or, yeah, let’s face it, read this blog, you’ll get the joke.

As I’m currently dawdling over the task of putting up these Charlie Harper prints in my front room (shown here in my old place – still love them) it seems pretty apt.

By the way, for anyone else who read the NME through the 90s and is as nerdy as me, you might enjoy that the actress putting a bird on stuff, and co-writer of Portlandia, is Carrie Brownstein of Sleater Kinney. Have you spent time in feminist bookstores, alternative coffee shops, clowning classes or a riot grrrl band? Then check out the website for more shorts reflecting your reality back at’cha.
