Portland Grunge

There's a right way and a wrong way to deck yourself out in a Grunge look.

Exhibit A: The Correct Way by Taylor Momsen
I know, I know she does over does it sometimes, but this is a great example of Grunge at its loveliest.

Exhibit B: The Incorrect, Good Job Embarrassing Yourself Way
And yes, this IS a Halloween costume! Hence why you should not dress like this.

So far, many Portlanders has got it all wrong.  I don't know if it's all the grey gloominess outside keeping everyone's head in a fog, but last time I checked we made it though the 90's. But lets not forget the few who walk around the streets of Portland looking completely stunningly grunge and inspirational (pictures coming soon).

So here we are in 2011 with half of all Portlanders calling attention to their inability to rock a Grunge look without looking homeless. Yes, it is true: Homeless is not a good look, neither is looking like a weird lumberjack wood cutting man or woman (Many women lumberjacks reside in Portland also). Sorry to disappoint.
