There is a terrible disease that is taking over the world! It is Poseritis, most commonly manifested as Indie Fashion. [Well actually, I don’t think any normal girl in the bible belt (yes I realize that statement was horribly contradictory) would tolerate it.] Anyways, I am not talking about legitimately indie and unique fashion. I am referring to the unbrushed hair, generic plaid, and personality purchased at Urban Outfitters that seems to be plaguing Los Angeles. ( Too be honest it’s not even the clothes that bother me, it’s the god awful superiority of the people who act like they are just too garsh darn fantastic to have a conversation. The ones who talk about the fairfax flea market like they own it. I have been going there since I was in uber early elementary, and I’m not entitled about it. It used to be fun for me to hang out there with my dad, now I have to deal with whiny hipsters in factory work shoes.)

As someone who dresses in an odd and unique way, I have always admired people who were daring with fashion. I myself have always stood out in a crowd, and much to the chagrin of the perfectly coiffed Juicy girls I share a hometown with, I never had any shame.

I was ten years old and in the fifth grade when I first dyed a streak of my hair purple, and I found myself relishing in the comments on how bad it was that someone so young had such a horrid bit of purple hair. Mind you, I happen to know for a fact that these mothers had been dying their daughter’s hair to keep them honey blonde for some years.

Anyways, back to this Indie business. It really infuriates me, that people who happen to know a band that no one has ever heard of are able to claim that they are so damn miserably individual because of it! I will happily admit to you that I like bands that you have probably heard of. I also enjoy shopping at Target, and I have known about the horrors of Splenda and High Fructose Corn Syrup since my playground days. I was a very strange child, and i suppose now I am an equally shamelessly odd teenager. But I actually enjoy it.

Whew. Okay sorry that was so ranty, but moccasin sandals and incessant babble about Urban really get to you. On another note, I just re dyed my hair and it’s neon red, my mom and grandma say it looks very Alice in Wonderland, which pretty much sent me over the moon. :)
