IMITATIONS-published

I hate imitations!!

A woman, who prides herself on carrying an imitation of any sort, be it a hand bag or shoes or clothes is not keeping it real but instead keeping up an appearance she obviously cannot afford! urgh! I understand the need to look good but lose my bearings on the point of feeling good wearing or carrying a not so real piece of material, then to top it all off, to brag about it like it the real deal! I’m sick of knock offs. I must admit I was committing this heinous and I still do *wink*. Yet I find myself looking like a fool each time I do because I feel everybody around me knows I’m carrying an imitation of Prada. Why can’t I be content with my little limited budget that allows me not to buy this luxury? Why do I choose to impress my girlfriends and haters at the cost of my living? Why can’t I just walk in to a low-cost store and pick an amazingly gorgeous bag and pay my lousy hundred bucks and keep it stepping? Why does the man I’m with have to give me his hard earned cash so I can satisfy a silly fetish for imitation, because just as anything is addictive even living on knock offs is an addiction. I spend loads of money trying to fit into this world *hahaha*. I’m a sucker for fashion, rather I’m hell bent on impressions and I like to give the impression that I can afford quality and style,ROTFL. It’s a constant battling trying to be me because I’m too busy trying to keep up with the Joneses, who for that matter can afford all this. Even my don’t care attitude really doesn’t suffice on this matter because I go to bed with myself at night knowing  my fashion crimes *smile* It’s a constant battling trying to be me because I’m too busy trying to keep up with the Joneses, who for that matter can afford all this. Even my don’t care attitude really doesn’t suffice on this matter because I go to bed with myself at night knowing my fashion crimes.

I know all this because I’ve been a spectator and participant for both teams. It is amazing what we woman are capable of doing to one another in full blown war like schemes all over who carries the latest collection of L.V or who wears the real makoya.  Even though we know the real makoya don’t come cheap. Is swagger really that important? I see a lot of nods.

I do not want to see the bank statements of some of some divas out there, all in the name of fashion. I’m not judging anyone because I know we live in a materialistic society that encourages us to be plastic fantastic! Others don’t even own bank accounts or have real jobs but they are active participants of the knock off exercise *hahaha*, mind you, we know what they get up to *wink*. Hey it’s not a crime to keep a man just because his money is long and strong just as long as you know who you are and where you are going with all that mess. What bothers me most about knock offs is the fact of how it reflects on me or you. What does carrying a knock off proudly say to the very same society you are trying to please about you? Doesn’t it give them the impression that you are fake just like those knock off Jimmy choos you got on? Ok, let’s forget the world for a minute. What about that finer than china dude who rocks your boat? Must he too think you are cheap just like that imitational bag? Are you imitating to be in the fashion buzz or imitating to be alive? How would a knock off baby be able to keep it real because all she/he knows fong kongs?

 I am a beautiful woman who loves to walk out her goodies because I know people are watching and it does wonders for my ego. I put up my swagger to a thousand gazillions just so they can whisper about me like they know me yet that imitation I carry kills my look!!! Alas, the imitation war will continue for years to come. Those who can and can’t will compete for many more seasons to come, what I will do is excuse myself from the game and spectate once again. Or perhaps I’ll save up enough mulla to actually walk into a luxury fashion store and act up!
