ppl change

Met up with my childhood friend today for a while at my religious meeting this morning. Well...she looked really good...well...if ur idea of good corresponds with mine that is..which is basically cosmopolitian and made up. Haha. And I totally disagree with the idea that beauty is skin deep and going natural is best. Bullshit. Nobody wakes up looking like a million bucks. Well...not me anyway. Haah! Not even the model types okay?! :P

I digress.

So, this childhood friend of mine used to be quite...shall we say, materially challenged (ooh, im so politically correct today!). So she used to hunt around thrift shops and This! Fashion when she was younger. Today she's all branded, baby. And she now refuses to buy anything from This! Fashion..she says that its embarassing to be recognized on the street wearing cheap clothes. What the fuck?! Hmm..and this reminds me of the Star5 episode as well. Interesting. So... money and power really does change everything.

Which also brings me to the following point. If it is embarassing to wear clothes from This! Fashion based on the premise that they are cheap and are mass produced, wouldn't it follow that one should never be caught dead shopping in HK and Thai night markets and shopping streets? I mean, the clothes there are even cheaper. The quality far worse. No air-con. And most shops don't even have a decent changing room. Like heloo...? Cheap = bad? Geez. I say dressing in all designer is plain stupid. Why pay like $70 for a pair of capris when u can get one at $20. Argh. And not all designer wear is good quality. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. I hate new money. And I hate people riding off new money even more.

Why cant people stay the same? Why's there so much societal pressure to conform? How come so many of my friends are different now? Am i left behind? Or am i different too?
