via Hot Chicks of Occupy Wall Street
Oddly, Hipster Cop isn't everyone's "type," so for those seeking ladies to love while down at Zuccotti Park, this new Tumblr called Hot Chicks of Occupy Wall Street can help you preview the scene... you know, if you're okay with using a massive movement to get laid.
The site comes from a D.C. filmmaker and some pals, who say they were merely inspired and wanted to do their part to draw attention to the cause. However, after some criticism of their video (watch below), they were on the defense, explaining: "Our original ideas were admittedly sophomoric: Pics of hot chicks being all protesty, videos of hot chicks beating drums in slow-mo, etc. But when we arrived at Zuccotti Park in New York City, it evolved into something more. There was a vibrant energy in the air, a warmth of community and family, and the voices we heard were so hopeful and passionate. Pretty faces were making signs, giving speeches, organizing crowds, handing out food, singing, dancing, debating, hugging and marching. It made me want to pack my bags and pitch a tent on Wall Street." [Insert tent pitching joke here, then click play below.]
While they swear they aren't being sexist or objectifying the women, to even things out, here are photos of "The Cute Shirtless Dudes of Occupy Wall Street."
