The fact that there are people on earth that throw there arms up at fashion makes me sad. Ok, I can understand if you don't like that filth that they have runway models put on, but it's so entertaining to dress up/dress others up/be dressed up. Clothes shopping is fun!
Frankly, I'm just not good at it and I don't enjoy having my hair fucked around with. I don't wear makeup or "fashionable clothing" because it just... doesn't work.
To be dressed up, you have to have a dress-uppable personality; and, as my ex-boyfriend used to say, I don't look like a cute girl when I wear nice clothes, I look like a nerd in a dress. Or, you know, I don't have the personality to look good in more sensual clothing (where by sensual, I mean halter tops and upward). Something about always concentrating.
I do trust his judgment on this, since it basically matches everything everyone else has said to me over the years. "In ten years I'll be beautiful and have a hot guy, but Vector will still be Vector no matter what she does and no matter how much time passes."
Besides, I kind of like that people don't treat me the way they do most folks. I make friends with guys, and they don't make passes at me; I can make friends with girls, too. The guys treat me like I'm one of them, just unusually polite, well-mannered, and not so likely to make or laugh at penis jokes; and the girls, if they're not too busy being fashionable, usually treat me well, too.
I do feel a bit apart, but at least this way I feel equal. I'm not a girl failing at being a girl or a girl failing at being a guy. I'm just me, and I can be treated like a person rather than a walking gender stereotype.
Be sure there is some padding on the inside, and if not wear some cheap wool gloves on under them. Straight up rubber can be hell on sensitive skin.
Okay, thank you. I'll keep that in mind.
