Theme: Fashion

*********

I've never been accused of being fashionable. I'm built for comfort and name brands do nothing to impress me. I think name brands have always been a little overrated price-wise and utilitarian-wise. I wear my clothes until they literally wear out (or get a big stain on them).

I've been through mini skirts, maxi skirts, elephant bells, hip huggers, bikinis, platform shoes, leisure suits and polyester but the greatest fashion invention I've seen in my time has been pantyhose...especially the "control top" that move the fat from the front of your stomach to some unknown nether regions of your body.

The only idea of fashion I have is that I've heard black is supposed to make you look thinner. I hate shopping, but if I do buy any clothes I guess they do tend to be black. I guess wearing black is easier than losing weight. And maybe I don't look thinner...maybe I just look like an unfashionable dowdy witch...but at least I'm usually comfortable!
