reflections from the other day

"and i'm the first to admit it, i'm sure i upset someone, but my memory has chosen to omit it" - the darkness (one way ticket)

it's amazing what a skirt can do...

i'm not much of a skirt girl. instead i tend to favour jeans and pants. but once in every say 4 months or so, i feel the urge to wear a skirt.

so the other day, i was in one of those 4-month rotation urges to wear a skirt. and it's crazy how that works.

a few of my male colleagues noticed and commented, asking if i was going on a date. er... no... but i was going for my friend's birthday celebration... and i think the skirt went well with the birthday boy 'coz he had some nice compliments. nevermind that later i think i sorta managed to make him upset. but 'nuff said bout that...

so my point is simply this... i don't really think it's the skirt per se. i mean yeah i know that apparently guys like girls in skirts and all that feminine stuff which is all well and good... but my take on this is that it's bout change.

now take the reverse as an example. let's say if i were all bout skirts with only a 4-month rotation in jeans or pants. the day i don't turn up in a skirt, everyone is gonna comment.

this holds true even for hairstyles. if you wear your hair down all the time, try tying it up for once and see the comments roll. and vice versa.

or if you're usually all gothic punk rock chick, try being the sweet, preppy, girly girl next door in pink. heck try cross dressing even... that might be fun.

shake things up a lil.

however this doesn't work for those chamelone like people... after a while too much change doesn't really have any impact anymore...
