I really want to find out who this person is

Hey look, another comment on a post at Jezebel!

Japanese Princess Girls Live Life Like A Fairy Tale (clicky-link!)

thatonegirl says: "There is a woman at my company who dresses like these women do EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.

Except it's black and pink and more gothy, but seriously, so much effort! Why for?"

Oh, that's an easy question to answer, thatonegirl. Because I like to. Because it makes me happy.

(I am SO TEMPTED to actually sign up for a user ID at Jezebel and reply to her comment. I probably won't (and I probably shouldn't), but it is tempting.)

I sounds to me a bit like this girl needs to GET A LIFE! I mean, really, what business is it of hers how other people dress? She seems a bit obsessive over it.

I know why I don't dress like you every day - I'm lazy and I've always had tom-boy tendencies. That and it's long been a struggle to find skirts and tights or nylons that fit OK - plus then add my flat wide feet to the mix. So I tend more toward pants and plain shirts at work and leave my dressing up for after work. In fact - I just realized I don't have a good pair of dance flats for some of my newly added nicer goth clothes - an issue I'll need to remedy when I get a job because the cheap mary janes I've been wearing in the mean time are nearly worn out as well.

God - I'm loopy tired and babbling. I think no Grind for me tonight...

But it sounded like your interview went really well! I've still got my fingers crossed for you.

I wonder if the poster at Jezebel is someone I cross paths with often?

It sure seemed like it went well. Hopefully I'll hear something soon!


Seems like the poster has seen you often enough to know you dress like that daily - or maybe she just saw that article about you. Still, I'd be tempted to walk around with a sign that read "Are you thatonegirl? If so please say hello!" -- or something like that...

I don't understand the appeal of Birkenstock sandals - but I don't spend a lot of time wondering why people wear those EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
