Oct. 1st, 2002 10:17 pmI have for you, a terrifying, traumatizing event. ph33r.
We all know and accept my tomboyishness. I get physically ill if I shop for clothes for about oh... fifteen minutes. I bought my first dress (the first dress I bought- I've had dresses before) in August. I own two skirts, which I have worn a total of 5 times in the 4 years I've had them.
So today. Thriftshopping. Had fun. Gah. (Oh it gets worse.)
Tried on a funky fish-tail Audry Hepburn-esque skirt. Mostly for kicks. It was funky. I said that. (I'm building up to the creepy part.) Tried on the coolest blue weird material skirt- that looked like part of a mermaid costume, but was too big.
Got a pair of designer silk pants for twelve bucks. I may be a tomboy, but I can recognize quality when I see it.
Here's the scary thing. There was a dress there, peach/gold pseudo-shiny, very Jakie Kennedy, with a little jacket that only had one button. It was cute. It was mod. I tried it on. It was too small. Not much, but some.
Today I for the first time gave thought to loosing weight to buy clothing. Not just any clothing, but something that I will never wear, and is not me.
Who are you and why have you taken over my body?
