2000's style; Outragious.

Three levels and Strip malls.
[We can't make it on our own.]

  Fashion by the decade,
  We're turning into a
  Too-many choices nation.

  I mean, come on.
  Really.
  What's the fashion of '00?

Apply your face,
        [We were born without them,
          Apparently.]

And dress your canvas,
      [Body?
      Who uses that term.
      We're a piece of art;
      It's got to be Perfect, Just right,
      And worth a lot of money.]
Oh;
Self expression?
      Haha.


I'm waiting for the stars to Fall
And pigs to grow wings,
[And fly.]


Don't like that limb?
        Take the knife,
        Cut it off and remold it.
        [Cut alltogether;
          We have it so darn bad;
             
          Drats.] 


Everyone wonders,
"Why do they put brail
On a Drive through ATM?
Blinds shouldn't be driving."

Maybe it's because we're all blind;
          Failure to notice,
          [Besides failure to pass english class.]
Society's dropping down;
              A rollercoaster
              And oops;
              The track's not finished?

My bad. 

    Mistakes and drunk nights.
    What else is there to live for?


I'll stick to thrift shops
And wrap myselves in the 60's.

[At least then I have a place to fit.
    And I can't complain about being poor.]

I mean,
$7000 on an outfit?!

Outragious.       
I suppose that's our style.

Author notes

Wow, This is horrible.
I thought it would be a cool idea.
But it's really badly written.
Hah.

I can't stand malls and over prices and labels,
(wtf. people buy for the label.
I'll stick with cute clothes for 3 bucks at Salvation Army thank you very much.
They have labels too. Just not a name.)

It pisses me off.
I hate society.
I'd much rather live a few decades ago.

And I mean, seriously,
What is our decades style.
We don't ahve a set one.
We have clicks. I mean, our mom's and dad's clicks were
"geeks, jocks, cheerleaders,"
And now we have styles,
"preps, goths, punks."

We're a pathetic nation.
I need to move to a remote island or something. Hah.


[Oh, and my yearbook thought it was a wonderful idea to support people who 'look good' and spend incredible ammounts of money on clothing.
Yeah. Someone honestly spent that much. Pft. You'll be luck seeing me dressed in 50$ worth.)

    YES...THIS WAS LOVELY

    God I hate that if I go into the stored...I feel like I can't afford anything...plus nothing fits rights...it's either way too tight or too baggy,

    I'm not gonna pay $80 for a shirt(i have and i regret it because it doesn't last)

    And for the label thing,I agree,if you are wearing a certain brand you are labeled as a..goth..prep..gangster..ghetto

    This is why I shop all over the place...and have no special style but a mixture of styles

    my fav line

    oh shannon, you marvelously wonderful thing. you saw the page with irma wearing the three thousand dollar nylons too? ha.

    it's disgusting.

    i know.

    you've got a good head on your shoulders.

    and i like this, it's got a nice sarcastic tone, it's so you.

    ha.

    i found this WONDERFUL vintage shop in royal oak. we have to go there. you'd love it. i found these dresses from the fifties that would look so nice on me (aren't i humble?), but of course, i had about three cents in my purse. so i couldn't get them.

    keep writing love.

      Haha. That's exactly where I shop.
      And the occasional clearence at Wet Seal for 8$ clothes.

      I like to wear "old-Lady" dresses so Salvation Army is my heaven. :]


      And thanks. <3
      I just thought it was more of a rant and not very poetic. Hah.
