    You "are" naughty!!!!!!!!!

    But in a *nice* way I hope... ;)
    When I went shopping for my work clothes etc the amount of people I saw handing over credit cards for such large purchases was unbelievable.

    I just hope they don't come crashing down............

    They will - though thankfully not all of them.

  • Always very nice!!! You make me laugh at times when I come on here.

    My sil could do with not just a lightbulb moment but a whacking great floodlit football pitch type moment...............I get all excited about a £15 bargain pair of trousers of work and she turns her nose up at a price like that. Where I live we have a great shopping centre but she'll go to the nearest city for the "label" stores. Go figure!!
    If you wait for perfect conditions, nothing would ever get done! :T
    I'm not short - I'm condensed awesome! :p

    It's because it emphasises a feeling of belonging - "I'm in the same group as <insert name of noxious celebrity here> because she shops at <insert name of shop that pays said celebrity thousands for advertising>"

    It's the same feeling that encourages full grown men to wear football tops/sports gear, despite the fact it actually accentatutes just how badly out-of-shape they are. They then think they're all in one happy team: "I could be on the pitch with <insert name of football player here>, scoring goals against <insert direst 'enemy' football team>", despite the fact there is as much chance of that as Jabba the Hut doing Swan Lake.

    It's often more about emotions than sense.

    By shopping at an expensively famous named store, she is buying emotional comfort. It's the shopping equivalent of eating chocolate cake.

    Vacuuous and inane I think is how others phrase it.

    But shopping doesn't go on your hips...
