i am such a fashion don't.

earlier today i was feeling peckish and started moseying around town. i stumbled across this chinese store with a wide array of sweets and preserved fruits. knowing my weakness for the taiwanese preserved plums and the sugared tamarinds, i instantly grabbed a bag and filled it up with chilli sour tamarinds and sugared tamarinds. i walked out of the store and picked up one and popped it into my mouth. i made my way to the tram stop, waiting for that electric creation to take me home. people were looking at me funny .. but meh, people look at me funny most of the time anyway. later this lady tapped me on the shoulder and with an amused smile, said, "you have sugar on your nose."

shocked, i instantly lifted my hand to wipe off the evidence of my gluttony. "omigod, that's embarrassing," i managed to say. she let out a laugh filled with so much amusement that i couldn't help smiling myself. the tram arrived and she stepped up onto it with me trailing behind before i made my way down the aisle to snag a seat.

that incident made me think again of how much of a fashion don't i really am. caught with sugar on your nose is a big no no. and need we even get into the concept of VPLs? i must admit i can never bring myself to comfortably wear those incredible things called G-strings ... and yet i love hip (and therefore ass) hugging skirts and pants which require the donning of, you guessed it, g-strings. how can i reconcile my love for hip-hugging bottom-wear with my distaste for the proper underwear? perhaps i should just not ... care?

what about hair? i reckon i have frizzy unmanagable and just naturally messy hair. indeed one of the reasons why i decided to have my hair cut shorter was because i was starting to look more and more like a lion each day. given how wide my face is, lion hair is another big no-no. and now that my hair is considerably shorter, i look like a frickin 16-year-old. i look younger than my younger sister. and my boy has joked about how people might think he's a paedophile everytime we walk around the streets together.

what to do..?
