Yes. Get the poor people to service the rich. Right opposite their estates. That's assuming this place will even give anyone from the estate a decent, well paid job, which I doubt.

Cheer up! They might. You're always so gloomy :(

Yes. I think I'm ignoring that on purpose instead of just missing it because it makes me feel a bit sick to admit that you're right. You're saying that a lot of the popularity of Brixton as a tourist destination / wild night out is a sort of vicarious thrill / poverty tourism?

Not "a lot", but some, and in a different way to the preceding decades, where the "tourism "was mostly centred around the local drugs trade. While there was always a thrill-seeking element to that, it was instrumental thrill-seeking, with a possible cost attached. What happens now, happens in an environment far more insulated from consequence than the environment the drug tourists entered.

If I've read it right, it appears that number 342 (opposite the Barrier Block) is going to be a new branch of a super trendy hair salon run by this East London based gentleman.

I don't think he'll be getting many customers from the estate opposite.

It's certainly the case that businesses that have moved here only tend currently to employ locals in lower-grade positions. I'm sure some Urbanites will argue that this merely means that said locals haven't yet had the chance to climb the greasy pole of promotion, but service sector hierarchies tend to be pretty flat at the bottom, anyway.
 
I imagine the Blue Peacock hairdressers that just opened up are going to be well pissed off with this super trendy place opening up two or three doors down. Mind you, if we thought they were expensive, God knows what this new hipster-tastic lot are going to charge.

The planning application aroused my curiosity.

One pdf is called "Philosophy". First time Ive seen that in a planning application.

The " Blue Tit:p Philosophy"- I kid you not- is about how this is a "lifestyle brand" :facepalm:. How the. "salons" are" inspiring places to spend time in."

What a load of bollox.

See they started out in Dalston. Another area thats going upmarket.
 
This Perry Patraszewski, he seems to be (or have been) the founder of something called 'Rock Solid Game' ltd which offers "honest and genuine London PUA bootcamps " :facepalm:
I'm not going to link to the disgustingness of the website which googling his name just led me to but, it is definitely the same bloke, according to his linkedin thing.

I wouldn't have put hairdresser at the top of the list of vocations for a PUA. Oh well. Maybe the ladies go wild for the carefully coiffured facial hair?

Ah, the eternal cry of economists (armchair and academic) who have no sense of historical perspective!
Market economics don't work. That much is obvious. 2008 should have taught even the most economically-ignorant person that much.
And what alternatives? Look to the post-war consensus under the Bretton Woods system - that worked better than neoliberalism, and with fewer global crashes.
 
I think I've missed the point here.

Is it alleged that this guy apparently running an Art Deco hairdresser/model agency (Blue Tit) in Dalston is muscling in on our own newly arrived and terribly green Art Deco Carlos aka Blue Peacock?

Or is it alleged that Mr Blue tit is in some way operating a franchise in newly arrived American rough and sexist pick-up women stakes?

In which case it seems a very odd mix. Normally hairdressers are gay aren't they?

Bit disappointing to hear you lob around such a stereotype. Some are, some aren't.

On yahoo answers "What percentage of male hairdressers are gay?"
Yields: 110%, 100%, 100%, many many many, a lot

and this rather charming discursive answer which might suit you better:
"my ex boyfriend was one, I would say allot, the makup, hairstyle industry just have allot more gays because for some reason allot of Gays love cutting hair and doing makeup more than str8 men. But allot of gays do other things as well, for example I could never cut hair or do make up I like working outdoors i grew up on a farm, now I work in banking, so to each there own"

So even though I am apparently falling victim to stereotyping, a "random sample" of respondents on Yahoo do not disagree!
