All week we’ve been flashing back through the top stories of 2011 and here’s our final post of the year! Have a safe and happy New Year and we’ll see you in 2012!

You’ve gotta wash that hipster boyfriend right out of your hair, or at least have him wash his own. It’s all possible thanks to a Brooklyn-based soap company, Wembé, and their interactive Facebook campaign to promote personal hygiene and put an end to the growing problem of dirty hipsters that seems to be sweeping the nation. Just send in a picture of the smelly guy in your life (or of yourself) and the picture with the most “likes” will win all kinds of eco-friendly soap. Check out the Facebook Fan Page here and get to voting. If there is any question as to what qualifies someone as a hipster, read more and find out.

You might be a hipster if:

Your girlfriend can wear your jeans

Your girlfriend can’t wear your jeans because they’re too tight

You don’t have a girlfriend because your general untidiness and usual Pig Pen-esque cloud of cigarette smoke is off-putting

You would never consider footwear outside the Vans/Converse/Toms family

You smell like you haven’t showered weeks and are more comfortable that way

You swear that you liked that band before they sold-out

Your “totally original look” can be easily achieved by walking into any Urban Outfitters, American Apparel or Buffalo Exchange

You consider neon a wardrobe staple

You bought a record player because “you like the imperfections in the sound”

You’re a staffer at Phoenix New Times (we kid, we just really liked their holiday gift guide for hipsters)
