Leith: DO YOU THINK I DO ANYTHING WITH THE GOAL OF BEING APPEALING?

Normal Teenage Guy: YES. IT SEEMS LIKE THAT’S WHY YOU DO ANYTHING YOU DO

Leith: Seriously?

Normal Teenage Guy: In a way.

Leith: How so?

Normal Teenage Guy: Well the fashion and make up and hair and all that kind of stuff.

Leith: If I were dressing to be appealing I’d wear super short skirts and push-up bras. I just like dressing well.

The flipside of my previous post.

The Importance of Not Being Desperate

My generation’s love for ripped tights and the American Apparel Fetishization of women has gone overboard.

Yeah, I’ve thought about sending in pictures to American Apparel, and definitely saw the “Model Nude for Terry Richardson” section on his website and seriously considered it (I figure, I cannot afford food and this is the skinniest I will ever be in my life so I might as well parlay that into cash/everlasting fame of some sort). But what ever happened to looking like a lady until the clothes came off? Grace Kelly was a promiscuous little thing, but you would have no idea looking at her (rumor has it, her moves consisted mostly of luring a man into a hotel room and emerging naked, which is kind of majorly awesome when you think about it).

Buy some new tights, ladies, pretend that you are not going to go home with that guy, and then go home with him. LOOKING LIKE A CRACK WHORE IS NOT SEXY. Dressing to the nines, spending just as much time trying to look (dare I say it?) classy as you would trying to look trendy has way more benefits than you may think. Audrey Hepburn is a style icon because she eschewed the trends and just tried to look nice, her style is eternal, while Erin Wasson is just comes off as a vapid model trying to gain a little edge.
