Cool or Creepy: Brooklyn Style Blog is Watching You

by Genevieve Bleidner

What with the street style bloggers crawling over every corner of the Internet, it seems as though the next-level creeping was bound to happen eventually.

This latest incarnation of style stalking is through a camera linked to the Internet, uploading shots of passerby in real time from, naturally, Brooklyn, New York. The camera snapping shots of passers-by is located along Williamsburg’s Bedford Avenue, and is motion activated, so anyone and everyone walking by is showcased on the blog, called Styleblaster, to be judged by all.

“To answer the changing times, we introduce Styleblaster, a realtime account of what people in Williamsburg are wearing. Unlike a typical streetstyle blog, Styleblaster documents all — the visiting fashion plates, the hipsters and have-nots, the native Polish and Italian proud who have for years called this neighborhood home. And above all — the dapper salarymen and businesswomen who stand to inherit the area,” the blog reads.

To some, this may sound like a totally weird way to showcase people’s style, but street walkers aren’t completely unaware that they’re being watched by the fashion police; masked hooligans have already cropped up, flipping the camera the bird or conga-ing across the line of sight.
