	I'm getting pretty damn sick of this holier
than thou attitude on the net. "Oh all you people who are into
fashion and color analysis are all vain and totally wrapped up
in yourself. Now, I would never stoop so low. I use my time more
productively. I read or play chess when I have to waste some time.
And I don't waste my money. I send it to Africa." You're all a bunch
of damn ascetics! None of you appreciate the time it takes to
pick out nice clothes and mix colors pleasingly. And looking at how
some people dress around here, I'm pretty sure they don't take any
time figuring out what goes with what. I have to admit that computer
types are some of the worst dressed people I've ever seen! If you
want to look that way, fine. But don't go telling us what we think
or putting words in our mouths about WHY the rest of us like to dress well.
You obviously don't appreciate the differences of color and form.
Maybe we should all dress alike. Then we wouldn't have to spend any
money above a bare minimum for clothes. Would be a pretty boring
place if everyone wore the same thing!
	A heck of a lot of people like to dress well. And they spend
a lot of money doing it. And color analysis means they have to spend
less money on clothes in the long run. It means they have to spend
less time picking out clothes. And though you may find this very hard
to believe, there are a lot of people out there who have to dress well.
Their jobs dictate it! My mother is a hostess in a nice restaurant.
She wants to present a classy image of herself, which is a reflection
on the restaurant. And since she works, she doesn't have hours to spend
shopping for clothes. Now she sticks to her colors and gets what she
wants. All you computer people working in your little offices where
no one gives a damn what you wear - you really have it good! I hope
you never have to deal with outside customers. As horrible as it may
seem, people are judged by their looks out in the real world. And what
you wear makes a big difference.
	For the record I love clothes. I love the different colors and
the textures. I have spent a lot of money on clothes because I like
to buy attractive things that I can wear. I am vain! I like to look
good. I am not obsessive. I don't feel I have to wear makeup to play
softball. And I'm bloody sick and tired of hearing how I am wasting
my time and my money. I'm not going to be ashamed of something I enjoy.
I'm not going to sit around and listen to you rag on me and a lot
of people I know. You're going to have to fight it out with me!
