Date: 2005-04-04 07:45 pm (UTC)Awww! Clothes can be fun. Assuming one approaches it from the "damn, this makes me look hot" angle and not the soul-eating "what is everyone else wearing oh my god is this still cool will people like me" angle.
I used to be violently anti-clothes-attention-paying, but then I discovered that some clothes actually fit me and got paradoxically vain as all hell. (There's nothing more intoxicating than getting to feel human for once.) Of course, this is in the total absence of sex and DDR, so you take the fun in life where you can get it. :D

Date: 2005-04-04 08:21 pm (UTC)When I refer to clothes being a waste of money and all that, the latter is who I'm referring to. I had a cousin who went through at least thousands of dollars in clothes every year, because she absolutely HAD TO HAVE such and such item, wore it once, and then it was out of style and she never wore it again.
