Reply to Alison’s View

Posted by marcoshblu0e under Debate

Hello

the question can be interpreted in some ways: Alison thinks “fashion victims” means someone who is wearing horrible clothes but I think the victims are the rest of the people whose eyes are unfortunate witnesses of this aberration. We are the suffering targets that have to support the other people’s bad taste.

But I think our society thinks about “fashion victims” as a kind of self-slavery: people who like sharp muscles and go to the gym every single day, women in very high heel shoes even though they are uncomfortable, people who like wearing expensive clothes and the like. This behaviour not only is stressing but it also  demands sacrifice, money and time. Therefore, I believe we should avoid it and enjoy our time and spend our time  on other important things like travelling, going out with friends and, some weird students, learning English.

I would like to encourage the rest of my classmates to write in Javier’s blog to have a wide range of opinions. Otherwise Toña and I look like a pair of creeps.
