Comments on: Fashion Trends: No Idea

I kind of feel the same, Sister. Don’t misunderstand: I enjoy style and creative, well-executed design but I’ve long-since lost interest in trends. When I tend to stick with the same aesthetic, my interest in trends wanes. This brings about a great feeling of personal style freedom- for me, anyway.
I think fashion and trendiness is one big adrenaline rush. Nowadays, I get my adrenaline rush from exercise and other healthy pursuits.

As Hammie commented above, you are fabulous. Really. I never considered that depression had benefits but I suppose it can. Anyway, here’s hoping that yours doesn’t hang out with you too long.

I’m glad you can find solace and diversion in the “theatre of human stupidity”. I cannot, for my limited patience with idiots prohibits any enjoyment thereof.

You are Fabulous! Stop obsessing and start dressing as a woman of an uncertain age with just one hermes scarf (get it in a second hand shop) eat cake, drink coffee, smoke if you want to and let your small dog shit everywhere. Xx

Ooh….I love Yoko in her leather shorts. My fave pix of those are here: http://wendybrandes.com/blog/2007/11/few-of-my-favorite-things/

Can’t blame John for groping her — hot pic, right?

Oh, how I relate, Sister Wolf. Not so much about the fashion, because I’ve never been interested in appearing fashionable, but I used to like to know, sometimes, a little bit. Dealing with my own hideous depression, I realize I don’t know anything any more, not that I ever knew much, and what I do know I feel weirdly detached from. The Weiner thing was getting stale when I discovered it and scrambled to see the dick pix and all, and then it had NO effect. I had no opinion. I guess that’s depression for you. There is one thing, though – perhaps it’s slightly similar to your tumblr addiction. I’m crazed about these gin-blossom spidery-vein things on the sides of my nose (and I don’t drink, which isn’t fair) and am now obsessed with concealer. I have every kind of concealer made in this world, I have a drawer packed with concealer, I’m concealed up the ass. I should be the most invisible person in the world. But I’m still depressed.

Bless you Sister Wolf, take care, please keep writing.

I think there is a sea change ref fashion – we are the van guard of not caring.
I’ve tried to get into Tumblr but have failed xx

Hi Sister Wolf. I can’t do the trend thing. I’m basically a jeans and t-shirt girl who only gets adventurous with shoes, handbags, and Chanel lip products.

Anyway, I know what you mean about Tumblr! Just spent the past half hour at this one and thought you may find it amusing as it made me giggle more than once.

i think i came too late to the Casey Anthony trial to understand. i would love an exegesis.

fashion is extremely anxiety provoking. i don’t know how i ended up on so many email subscriber lists. i can actually feel a little hit of adrenalin go off in my body when an email arrives in my inbox with the word SALE in the subject header.

i find it easy to resist, usually. but if i get one of those emails on a day in which i find myself operating with less than optimal self-awareness (PMS or a hangover, for example), then it’s bye-bye $200.

This is why I read your blog. I, too, came to this realization recently and just told my shrink about it this morning. It has lots to do with waiting to find out whether my house loan is approved (first time buyer). Only then did I recollect others’ warnings of “think of what you could afford if you give up worrying about fashion.” If I had listened sooner…Love your blog.

It would seem like there is no other news to be had other than the CA trial. I get so irritated thinking that the smarmy bitch will get off, that I cant watch anymore.
Fashion is one big clock-the hand just moves around the same face, taking turns pointing at the next big thing.

*taken personally
I think we should all accept the simple fact: Dust tends to swallow letters. I can reread the comment before submitting it 5 times, but I won’t register the mistakes until later, so in order to avoid correcting myself every time, I’ll just ask you to live with my stupidity and promise to check my comments 6 times before…
