Not the best photo, but then again,buses are not optimal photo shoot locations. Which this man probably thinks he's going to, judging by his shirtlessness. Or by the fact that he may or may not have seen me attempt & succeed in taking his picture. Weirdo.

:: snaps fingers:: "I wear my sunglasses at night..." Also, it rained all day. No sun. Which is the key ingredient for SUNglasses. I think this dude just thinks he's reallllly cool.

Ahh, naptime on the RIPTA. Sorry it's been awhile, it seems lately there's more action thank photo ops around here... Lots of people creepin' on me. Gotta find a way to stealthy video them maybe? Anywho, enjoy for now, I'll try to get something better, soon.

After like a month or more, I finally got a subject worth posting, at a time when I was actually able to stealthily take a photo. I actually spent an inordinate amount of time capturing this gem. Now, what you see here, is this girl's creative interpretation of that terrible 90's trend where girls would shave the lower back part of their heads, from behind the ear down. Not only has she done that, but she extended the shaving up and around to part of the left side/front part of her head. Maybe she got drowsy with her clippers in hand. Maybe she actually meant to look like that. Either way, I wouldn't recommend her as your next hairstylist. <3

There's a method to my madness!

So, if you follow this and actually know me, you know I work at a bakery, and I take my ripta photos to/from work. Well, we close for Jan/Feb (it's a tourist type town) and therefore I haven't taken the bus in awhile. BUT! I just got home from prepping the shop for tomorrow, opening day! Which means more ripta freaks, at least until I get a car. When I do get a car, posts will continue to be more infrequent, but come summer, I'll probably still take the bus sometimes since parking in the downtown area where I work is impossible during summer months. Cross your fingers for some freaks, and I promise I'll try my best to capture something for tomorrow.

reblogged

This girl is a fucking moron beyond all possible belief. What a rude, trashy, ugly little bitch. If I saw her on my ripta bus, I'd for sure take pictures and post them here :D

I never really re-blog anything but I felt it necessary that people see this, so they know, if they ever see her: Kill it. Kill it with fire.

Or maybe a more appropriate (/cliche) title could be "gotta catch 'em all!" hahaha. To give credit where it is due, my lovely friend (and basically sister-in-law) Jackie snapped this on her way to work this morning! Excellent work Jax :) Also, I encourage people to send me your photos, I will make a special email address for submissions if people are interested! Until next time, <3

But this guy is a gem! Looks like he either had an early "liquid breakfast", or more likely, his morning trip to the local methadone clinic. Stay classy (and try to stay awake, for fuck's sake!) aquidneck island! <3

::edit:: holy shit somehow this post got saved instead of uploaded like, 2 months ago! Currently I'm also off work, but I go back in march! Up next, though, is a special picture sent to me this morning by my brother's gf! Stayyyy tuned :D

Avatar

I'm so mad that this is blurry! Wtf does this bitch have on her head, you ask? As a matter of fact, I've got no fuckin clue. A furry helmet hat with horns, apparently. Damn scene kids...! <3

Avatar

All I can say is.... Someone forgot to inform this dude that labor day already passed, liiiike 4 weeks ago. <3

Avatar

Holy shit, this guy's hat is the best find i've had in WEEKS! It's actually a freakin grasshopper on top. More to come if I can get a better pic, he looks like a british royal! Bahahaha. <3

Avatar

All I gotta say is... That's a huuuuuge bitch! Also, not pictured, she had an old school cassette playing walkman! <3

Friend of dreads guy. I have my methods of looking like I'm not using my phone when I take pics, but I feel like this topless hippy was looking right at me hahaha. Oh wellll!

Avatar

Another not-ripta, this guy was at starbucks with his buddy, whose picture will follow this. Not only does he have epic blonde dreads, but in my early morning pre-caffeine daze I didnt even realize that he's SHIRTLESS! And so was his friend haha. I didn't see it until I reviewed the pictures later lol. Stay tuned for hippy buddy :P <3
