Hipster Santa Takes Selfie with You
Santa Claus is coming to town, but he's not how you remembered him.
Hipster Santa has come to Sydney Central. He's sporting a red beanie, skinny jeans and an elaborate beard. He's traded Rudolph in for a vintage Citroën. And he's probably far more interested in a Bonsoy latte than a mince pie.
If you've been good this year, head along to Central at Central Park between noon and 1pm to take a selfie with Hipster Santa. Please note: no sitting on his knee — that's, like, so cliched.
If ironic selfies aren't your thing, maybe you'll want to partake in the activities in Hipster Santa's workshop — or hipster grotto, if you will. From Thursday to Sunday between 4-6pm you can do some gift-wrapping and decoration making. There's hula hooping classes and classic movie nights. Hipster Santa will even be performing his spin on traditional Christmas carols with his band, The Real Deers.
Those in need of a giggle should check out Hipster Santa's blog on Tumblr. Apparently Santa's more interested in good vibes than good spelling. He’s also on Instagram @instahipstersanta and you can follow him on Twitter @hipster_santa to get details on ‘hipster hang nights’ or receive some hilarious (and potentially misspelt) hipster ramblings.
We have to hand it to him, though, the man can dress.
