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.)

Oh you should totally respond to her! What you do does seem like a lot of effort to me but I get how it's not for you. And I get how dressing like you do makes you happy (and I think you're gorgeous and awesome and I wish I got to see you or someone like you every day! It would make ME happy!)

But what you do would be impossible for me! For one, I don't have that defined an aeshetic. Also, I have NO sewing skills or the same sartorial resources you have.

So, yes, you should respond to her because it's possible she actually likes the way you look but it's impossible for her to imagine how you manage it because it's something she (like me) couldn't manage at all.
