so ok. I just read "naked" by david sedaris (i love him, he is absolutely genius) and its really got me thinking. i realize i judge people on their clothing. like not my friends obviously, but strangers. if they are wearing something the colors or styles i like, or "punk",i assume theyre cool. if theyre wearing something tacky, i assume theyre not. similarly, sometimes my confidence is based on what im wearing. now, for example, im wearing a smashing outfit that i feel both represents my personality and makes me look hot. so i feel great. when all my clothings dirty and i wear something ugly, i feel ugly.
somewhere in the back of my head i know thats absolutely stupid but it seems like a lot of our culture has the same problem. i mean, its stupid really. everyone i know spends so much money on clothing. think what we could do with all that money ! i mean, why dont we all just walk aroud naked? or, when its cold, we could have a few underpants, and i guess bras would be useful, and like 2 pairs of pants and 2 shirts and a sweater or whatever depending on the weather and just alternate so you have time to clean it?
sorry this is so long and pointless..
