So today I was at lunch with a friend of mine. We were at a medium sized mall in West LA. The restaurant that we were at had windows so we could see outside into a major ‘game trail’. As we sat talking I couldn’t help but notice the countless lemmings that walked buy with the latest designer whatever’s and watdchamacallits.  It kind of grosses me out that these people were shouting their self image to the rest of the world, flaunting and struting.

I think what these people don’t get is that their actual personality shouts even louder, via body language and facial expression. It was quite apparent to me that most of these people had  very low self confidence and felt that by being aggressive with their dress and strut that they could fool others.

It is a sad world that people need to communicate via dress and fashion, but I guess that the retail company (who are making tons of money off of the fashion industry) are not going to do well if people just talked to one another.
