It's really gay, & half the time I can't believe how easily people are influenced (even myself at sometimes, although in most cases I tend to not give a damn about anything).
"Oh look Britney Spears is wearing this cute pink outfit!"
"Are her tits showing?"
"..no.."
"Then why the fu*k do I care???"
I don't think there's anything wrong with being influenced just as long as we maintain our own preferences as dominant. I mean, I like fashion but I'm not going to wear some flowery skirt, which I don't like, just because it's in fashion. 93% of my clothes are black, 5% are white and only 2% percent are coloured and that's mainly because of blue jeans, so I'm not going to start wearing bright colours all of a sudden simply because everybody else is doing it. I have my own, personal taste and that's what counts the most. But I can also give you a good example of when fashion influenced me. This past winter long coats were very in fashion. Because I liked the way they looked and because I found a beautiful, white one that really pleased me, I decided to buy it. I was without a doubt influenced by the fact that they were in fashion but I only bought it because I liked it.
