Ah Yahh… Totes

Fashion is a funny thing, isn’t it? I mean, some guy in an actual dead leopard tells the world that the most fashionable thing this month is trousers that look like pjs with a crotch round the knees and all of a sudden you see hoards of people wearing them outside, as if this was normal.

This is why I tend to avoid East London. I am not the trendy type of person who can pull of fake glasses (I have real glasses thank you, Granny chic) and I like clothes that I look and feel good in. I don’t feel the need to go out dressed in my night robe and acting like a sheep because everyone else is. So it made me laugh when going through my archived emails recently to find an email from a friend who had attended a trendy event, and been so horrified that she had recounted the evening to us as soon as she physically could. Permission had been obtained to publish it to you so that you can appreciate just how insane trendy people are. Due to my lack of imagination all names have been changed to Disney princesses

Enjoy!

So last night I had the ‘pleasure’ of seeing Cinderella in all her glory at her ‘delightful’ warehouse in Hackney. Not my idea of a fun night out, but at least Jasmine was with me.
Jasmine tried her best and warned me there would be dick heads. Vivid descriptions and even the Youtube video ‘Being a Dickhead is cool’ (worth a look) ensued. Still I was nowhere near prepared!

1) Jasmine and I got there before Cinderella, so 2 of her house mates were in. They neither spoke to us or smiled. Jasmine asked for a bowl to mix Sangria (realising early on alcohol was our only chance) and was offered “a sick bowl from next to my bed” by a particular dickhead, Cinderella2, AGE 32. Sadly we declined.

2) There was a “fashion dog” (an actual dog) at the party who has 800 followers on Twitter and “models” designer dog clothing.

3) Everyone there was wearing stupid fake glasses.

4) The dog was the nicest person there, followed by a gay guy who works in a ‘gay sauna’.

5) One of Cinderella’s house mates gave her some “really expensive” wine (everything was ‘really expensive’ or name dropping famous people or designers) and instructed her not to share it with anyone, while giving me and Jasmine death stares.

6) No one asked what my name was or what I did, yet I had to sit a listen to some guy talk about how ‘he’s freed himself from the restraints of work and is really focusing on blogging’ give a shit!! AKA you’re unemployed.

I’m sure more beauts will come to me throughout the day. It really was horrific!

I was recently told of a friend who had started to work in a trendy boutique in London, and on her first day she was informed that the only reason the manager was talking to her was because she knew one of the other girls who worked that. By the manager.

What is wrong with people these days? Adult bullying is appalling and that’s what it is. Sugar coat it as much as you like, but treating someone differently for how much money they have / how cool you perceive them to be is terrible. I also don’t get the dead with women knocking other women around them. It happens far too regularly for my liking. In a world where we all fight to be equal, why can’t us ladies embrace the successes of our fellow gender rather than picking on flaws?
