MD's Observation #2

I was just waiting for a DART (Dublin's light rail system!) one night and I noticed,
not for the first time, how many people now sport the hallmark white earphones that
come with the new IPOD personal sound stereo thingee. I felt slightly self consious
of the fact that I was still using my battered cassette walkman that is not half as
stylish or sophisticated. Then I got to thinking how impressionable the mass public
are to advertising. Like I personally think first whether I need something before getting it, and not that since it is advertised, therefore I need it and must
purchase it. Humans are supposed to be top of the animal kingdom in terms of higher
brain function etc but the way people flock to the shops chasing the latest trends,
is sometimes similar to a herd of wilderbeast charging en masse somewhere without even really knowing why.

I quite like clothes but I don't decide what I'm going to be buying in the shops
based on what's gonna be "in" next season as dictated from some glossy magazine fashion editor. And I don't rate a person's credentials based on whether they're
"en vogue"; although it might be accurate to say that I might make a (unfair perhaps) judgement on someone who has just mismatched a whole load of very stylish clothes with no fashion sense whatsoever.

Thus endeth MD's Second Observation of the day.

i tend to do my own thing.. ill buy somthing if i really need it.. liek i dont have a personal mp3 player but there is one in my car hehe 🙂

i dont need a personal one because i dont do much walking.. but i gotta take up jogging this year so i might get one then..

"I don't follow fashion, fashion follows me."

yeah, we all follow you 😉 LOL j/k

I generally buy what I like.. if it's cute- I'll wear it. I've found the best fashion advice to follow is to set your own style -- and then buy things that compliment other things in your wardrobe.

Why don't you lead the pack on the mullet-

lol mullets...

i used to have long hair but no way would i have have a mullet.. but i guess some people like em 🙂
