my nominations: copenhagen, edinburgh, cape may

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 9 December 2003 21:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I go to cape may once a year. It's very twee looking as far as the houses are concerned, but I'm not so sure about the people.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Tuesday, 9 December 2003 21:41 (twenty-one years ago)

well, chicago is now twee because you and NA are there!! hahaha

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 9 December 2003 21:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Anywhere in New Jersey is not twee.

― NA (Nick A.), Tuesday, 9 December 2003 21:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I am not twee! Kisses!

― NA (Nick A.), Tuesday, 9 December 2003 21:43 (twenty-one years ago)

ELIZABETH, NEW JERSEY

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 9 December 2003 21:43 (twenty-one years ago)

copenhagen loses because lots of people there use snuff and it has a brand of chewing tobacco named after it.

I have not been to edinburgh but I doubt it is really way up there in the twee sweepstakes.

If I had to pick a twee city I would say Seoul. From all accounts the cutesiness that goes on over there is above and far beyond the levels reached in Japan. Have you heard the way the college girls talk? Dear god.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 9 December 2003 21:43 (twenty-one years ago)

philadelphia in general is not twee. boathouse row, though:

Windsor, Ontario

― Bryan (Bryan), Tuesday, 9 December 2003 21:49 (twenty-one years ago)

The actual answer is Northampton, Massachusetts. Does no one else remember Gareth's pumpkin wedding thread?

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 9 December 2003 21:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually, I take that back; Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard is the twee-est municipality in the world.

(xpost Are nu-hippies twee?)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 9 December 2003 21:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Well they're not hard, that's for certain.

Beverly Hills, o'course

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 9 December 2003 21:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Twee? I thought that Beverly Hills was full of cockfarmers.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 9 December 2003 21:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Carmel!

Vail?

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 9 December 2003 21:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes that makes sense, what was everyone else thinking picking actual twee choices.

Oh yeah, but the cockfarmers MUST have their purses and Jimmy Choos to match their dogs. See?

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Tuesday, 9 December 2003 21:54 (twenty-one years ago)

copenhagen can go either way. it can go anti-twee b/c of the snuff-spitters plus there's a whole bunch of dirty pot-smoking hippies that squat in this old abandoned military base in the city somewhere. on the other hand, it has all of that hans christian andersen stuff (like the little mermaid) -- and hans christian andersen = the Tsar of Twee.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 9 December 2003 21:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Not really but that's cos I actually know what twee means.
