women sacrifice a lot on the altar of fashion...the price of things like jewelries, even costume jewelries, shoes, tops, dresses, pants, bags, make-up and other odds and ends can pay a third world country debt...that's for a girl, not a number of girls, just one...the cost of stuff for a year for the whole world population of women can prevent world economy downturn for 100 years altogether (without considering other economic factors, of course)...for example, young girls in japan work 30 hours a day (part-time) just to get the latest louis vuitton bag...i keep my weekly food budget at minimal (so minimal that it can only buy 2 lunches if i were to eat out using the same budget) just to have extras by the end of my allowance trimonthly, so that i can shop...
lots of women wear clothes so thin they are practically aren't there...observe young women especially asians anywhere on earth where winter is cold...u can see lots of them wear something so insubstantial i wonder all the time whether their body has some acclimatization going on so that they got used to the cold like some alien race...some of us wear things that are so tiny, they are almost like small napkins wrapping around our poor bodies like buns covering sausages...some clothes are so tight, we can barely breathe, let alone do any other sorts of miniscule movements...observe hollywood leading ladies, socialites and models...enough said...
the ultimate sacrifice is shoes...shoes aficionado are called a shoe-whore....yes, we even have a label...that's how cliche we, shoes lovers, have become...we wear shoes so high that they make us stumble when we walk...most of them are painful and so flimsy that we slip and fall at a drop of a hat...forget arch support...that concept is an non-existant in our ultimate book of fashion...we shop for shoes like we need to eat our daily meals...
yesterday, i bought these 2 divine shoes...one pair are cotton-based covered peekaboo flats in pink with white piping at the edges and a bow on the front...another was a black faux shiny leather and velvet heels...breaking them in are simply horrendous...i had to be stupid and wear them both on the same day, one pair in the morning, another at night...the first ones caused me some dreadful blisters and chafed the back of my foot so badly i really felt like throwing them away on the way back home...the second pair were actually good fit but because of earlier's blisters, i get lacerations...huge lacerations...i internally screamed when i washed my feet later (can't scream loudly, wouldn't want to wake the neighbours up huhuhu)...i could even see my back feet muscles since the skin covering it was peeled away...it was that painful...
*sigh*...i am guilty of almost all of the fashionistas demands mentioned...i wish i know better but alas, i will probably still do them until i see the light...
