...the whore in all of us...

Ok i am actually coming up for a breath of cyber air after being immersed in world cup fever (yeah Henry!! beat those Brazillian bastards) after my team (argentina) were knocked out of the quarter finals- on the same day they dont wear their striped uniforms, coincidence? i think not.

So i was helping my friends shop for clothes to go to this fe^te- no i am not speaking french that's what u actually call these big parties in Trinidad with music, alcohol and not much clothing. Being my usual self absorbed self i wandered away towards these oh-so-cute yet oh-so-tiny miny skirts of all colours in this glam store Cranberries which is this really amazing store that imports from New York and that very few ppl know about, its like this uber exclusive club between the owners, my school and the international school, which is really all the who's who of any party anyway. But back to the skirts.

Now mind u, being a tall person there is usually one part of the body that is unusually long (see Peter Crouch!!!) and for me its my legs. So why am i attracted to these micro minis? It isn't to impress any boy, i know myself well enough to know that, but it's actually to impress other girls! Ask any teenage girl- the object of going out is to see who can dress sluttier than everyone else- to push the envelope and to wear somethings others wouldnt dare. And from my experience, my closet fully stocked woth these see through, more bra-than-top pieces and nano skirts is a direct result of this.

Now dont get me wrong i am not insecure (in fact i am vainer than most ppl i know- model tendancies again) but i have always derived pleasure in showing off my skinny figure in front of my admittedly heavier friends. And i am pretty sure they do the same things to me. I'm mean i know, i constantly stop and think "i'm going to hell aren't i?", but is that sick? is that like some seriously twisted part of me that wants my friends to feel crappy? Or is that the whore in all of us, seeing who can be our pimp's favourite?
