It's been a while because of technical issues. I just wanted to blab about some randomness I noticed today.
Today I decided to dress all in panda attire. This included my entire panda kigurumi (a onesie), furry boots, my panda hat, and my panda backpack, plus a little panda fluffed animal. I went into a grocery store in this ensemble. Of course, I expected tons of stares. But one lady commented, "Just out of curiosity, why are you wearing that? It's cute as hell, but...?" I replied, "I don't know. Just because I wanted to." She walked off saying, "That's adorable."
What I noticed was that people are shocked by what is different from them. I mean, I was wearing a full panda suit, but I realized the obvious. Take Anastasiya Shpagina, VenusAngelic, lolitas, decoras, gyarus, Dakota Rose, Valeria Lukyanova (my autocorrect hates me right now XD). I love all of these people and subcultures because they are so different and they aren't afraid to be. I love their courage and I aspire to be someone as courageous as them one day. I am no one special right now, but with time I hope to be the one to change America's opinions on uniqueness.
All I see are t-shirts and sweatpants. But the sad truth is that is what I wear to school everyday. I've been trying to wear riskier and riskier clothes whenever I can. I want to be the most shockingly popular person I can. Not because I was a movie star, celebrity, or singer. But because I changed the world's view of personal style. I want everyone to look different! Especially myself; I want to shock everyone.
