The Birth of the Proto-Bubble Hottie
filed under: Retrosexual, Bubble Hotties by Melissa Gira | Leave a Comment
Name that year, kiddos:
The area has sprouted computer-themed art galleries, a billiard hall and a Gold’s Gym, where former geeks can acquire new muscles to match their beefed-up social status. There is even “Gulch Gossip,” a column in a local computer magazine. Its author, who writes under the name Jonathan E., says, “My attitude is, if there’s going to be a media industry, it’s going to run by media morals — people will get drunk and swap each other’s wives.”
That would be The New York Times, on San Francisco’s newly sexed-up web culture, c. 1994.
