On the merits of being a shallow materialista

  • Have you ever had one of those days where everything is crappy and messed up but you glance at a mirror as you're walking by and you see that your hair is actually obeying you for a change and looks good (maybe not movie star good but just good good) and your mood perks up all at once and everything is bright and shiny and happy again with the world? 
  • Have you ever had a day where the fact that you are wearing your new peep-toe shoes were the only thing that kep you going? 
  • Have you ever looked forward to going to work just to show off your new bag? 
  • Have you ever experienced the simple feeling of elation that makes you disregard every other problem in the world when someone says the old shirt you dug out of the closet looks good on you? 
  • Have you convinced yourself yet that shopping is good for your sanity and that of the people around you and therefore nothing to feel guilty about later?

If you answered yes to 3 or more questions above, you know what I am talking about. If not, you've lost the simple innocence of materialism sometime after pre kg. Dont worry, with hard work and effort you can regain it. Every morning, after you wake up, look at yourself in the mirror and repeat the fashion alphabets (A for Armani. B for Burberry, C for Chanel, D for Dior...all the way up till Z for Zegna) thrice. Soon you will be well on your way to achieving Nirvana.
