Yeah! I finally purchased my boots!

Waiting had been so worth it....I'm glad I didn't splurge my reward (for getting into RP) on the $60+ boots in the mall. I got my new pair for only $39.90! (Yeah, I know it's $40 but shaddup, it's a $20 difference...enough to buy me another bottle of L'Oreal Professionnel conditoner.)

And the design was so much better than the one in the mall...even though it's (the new boots) are probably made out of low quality materials (the white ballet flats I bought there for $10 spoilt after one month plus). But it's better than the horrible lacey ribboned pink monstrosity at BATA *shudders in revulsion* even if it's only $30+.

And yes, in the world of boots, $30 is considered fucking cheap...unless you're looking for spoilt second hand goods/not very nice designs.

Just like how in wanting to dress like a lolita, $40 for a BLOUSE and pannier and skirt and headgear and acessories can set you back about a good $500.

But if you buy the jumper set (blouse and skirt sewn on, gothic lolita) it's about $120 or $130 at the cheapest, say...Anna House.

And the most expensive, Baby, The Stars Shine Bright (sweet lolita fashion)....let's say it's better not to know for you might get into paroxysms of shock.

Therefore right now, lolita fashion is kinda out of my budget right now T.T The economic crisis ain't helping any.

I have the acessories and the stockings (no pannier or bloomers yet though)...including a small costume crown for hime lolita or punk lolita from my aunt's wedding...

I wonder if you pair an ordinary black tiered dress with a victorian blouse, will you be considered a 'gothic lolita'? Hmmm... I don't have any mary janes right now, so I suppose I can use my boots.

I don't know how I can digress so egregiously...anyway the point is, I love boots! But my parents do have a point-- it makes the feet excessively warm.

Ah well.

But as long as I like it, who cares? Ballet flats make my toes ache because they press down at the joints. And it scrapes my achilles' heel. Although the designs are cute and it's the 'in' thing to wear ballet flats, I hate it. And it pops out so much that I have to constantly flatten my toes to keep it on! Even a size 36 is too big for me.

Besides, this rule is kinda superficial...if something makes you uncomfy, don't wear it. In that case, bras are constructed out of thick material, especially the pads and the underwire digs into my ribs. Since it's so hot, can I go without my bra? Oh, while you're at it, since I like a breeze near my privates, can I go without undies?

...

Yeah, I know that some of you by this point are either shaking your head in disgust or laughing your way out of the chair. But it's a mighty fine example how hypocritical society is. They tell us not to wear what makes us uncomfortable, but what if we find clothes uncomfortable? We can't start stripping in the middle of Orchard Road right?

I still can't find any cosplayers in SG... sigh. Where do they all go to anyway? It's always the same boring people wearing the same boring clothes... at least cosplaying brings some freshness and spices to everyday boring life. Even if the old man tottering on his walking stick disapproves, well, what can I say? Eveyone's entitled to his or her own views. Old folks never approve of young people anyway...they think we are too impertinent.

Anyway, I don't want to grow old. As in, 60+ old. Because I'm afraid that if I grow old I will develop certain inflexibilities and expectation of others, and I will no longer be able to 'open' my mind aside form drowning in my sickness and oncoming death.

Imagine how interesting it will be if old people cosplay...it'll be entertaining. I don't mean that they should cosplay as Sailor Moon or something -GAG!- I was thinking...perhaps something like the guy who made Kentucky Fried Chicken and...I dunno, Santa Claus or a vampire? Come to think of it, most of the villians and heroes in modern tales are normally young looking...I don't think there's a lot of older people in manga (coughcoughexcepthentaicoughcough).

I suppose at one point or another old folks strongly disapproved of acting as a career or watching television...but lookie here! Now all they are doing (or are able to do, considering the fact that old folks are normally not very active) is watching TV! Think...if those actors/actresses have actually listened to these grumpy bigoted people, we wouldn't have our Golden Horse awards or really good movies, and people would be rotting at home trying to play charades or singing off-key in order to entertain themselves. I thank God for the invention of TV and computers....BUT NOT HANNAH MONTANA. Her songs are bad enough, but when coupled with my sister's horribly off-tune singing, it is like hearing an old hag sing the entire Phantom Of The Opera.

... I'm hungry. So I shall stop here.
