sekiharatae | What not to wear?

Ok... first, let me just say that -- subject aside -- I *hate* this show. If my family and friends ever decide I dress so horribly as to need help from these people, I will go out and find new friends. Or kill myself. Or them. Because the last thing I need are two snooty New Yorkers (1) forcing me to go shopping in NYC when I live, oh, somewhere else -- learning how to shop in NYC helps me HOW? (2) insisting I buy things that are both over priced and overly dressy, and (3) completely neglecting the fact that my lifestyle may not call for heels and skirts. Like, for instance: I have a senile and incontinent dog, and -- at least 4 times a day, between 10 AM and 6 PM -- I have to carry her outside to do her business. Sometimes she does it before I get her out there, or decides to do it on the way back upstairs. Sometimes she does it before I pick her up and then sits in it. So I really don't think I need to spend $50 on a pair of jeans when my Wal-Mart specials do the job. Thanks.

This is not to say they don't (generally) make their ~~victim~~ guest look better. Because with a very few exceptions out of the very few shows I've seen, they do. It's to say that they go about it in a horribly rude and impractical way. Mothers and grandmothers who spend their time working in gardens or chasing after toddlers do not need to dress like they work on Wallstreet! They don't need to be made over into models. They need help to look good as what they are: women who have lives that require practical clothing.

That said... this post really has nothing to do with the show. ^^; It started because I found this shirt and wanted to share my WTF reaction. (Especially to the pic with the big flower. Because I guess the shirt wasn't intrusive enough as-is...)

Yeah... I've mentioned I get easily distracted, right? The above rant brought to you by my reaction to the phrase "what not to wear" after I thought it in reaction to that top.

*waves* Gifts and spoils from relatives doesn't count. I mean, it counts as clothes, LOL, but if the kids' relatives want to get them fancy or boutique clothes, I'm certainly not going to complain. ;) As long as they know the clothes probably won't stay pretty, unless they're wearing them for special occasions.

Spoiling is fun. ^_^ I only just became an aunt last year--it was the best birthday present ever. My sister delivered her first baby 2 and 1/2 hours before my birthday. ;) I told her if she could wait until my birthday, it would be awesome, but that I didn't wish labor pains on her for that long. Now that she's about to have her second baby as well, I'll get to double spoil. Well, triple, because there's her future stepson, too. ^_^
