Fashion is a BITCH

Beauty tips and secrets, hair styles and botox, trends and diets...all nauseate me!
How can we find our own beauty and have our own style if we must follow a paper doll cut out trend?!
America is considered the melting pot of the world, but I suppose the truth is once you've simmered at a warm 98 degrees you are then poured into a mold where you shall remain until monarchy or mutiny saves your soul!
Until then, if you can not afford a Coach purse for your daughter or Abercrombie t-shirt for your son, be forewarned that their fellow classmates feel it is their Divine right to torment, torture, and maybe even possibly bully them into an early grave! And while you send your K-mart dressed adolescents off to school which a lump in your throat and heavy heart, you best hope that, even though you're headed off to a job that doesn't pay you enough to afford your bills and insurance, you're wearing your Banana Republic suit and Jimmy Choo shoes, because (pathetically) teasing is not just for the playground!
How will we ever find our own niche when the first lady is on fashion watch and advertisements are choking us from every direction?!
I think culture is beautiful, heritage is beautiful and race is beautiful. We should all be free (this is the land of the FREE....right?) to express ourselves without judgement,whispers,slurs,and finger pointing so goddamn thick you could cut it with your designer cutlery!
Fashion and wardrobe should be a sacred, personal thing. And if it makes you feel good about yourself REGARDLESS of your shape or size, and it doesn't break any laws or damage the innocence of small children than you should wear what you damn well please.
As if this country doesn't have other things to worry about and bigger fish to fry than Heidi Montag's bad ideas and Lindsay Lohan's F-ing manicure!
I suppose, the latest trend is DUMMY DOWN! Look like a mannequin and think like one too!! You may think the Gettysburg Address is the location of the lady who takes pictures of babies and puts them in flower pots and that the Hindenburg is a hotel in New Jersey...but that's OK girlfriend cause you look DAMN GOOD!
