Buy Or Don’t Buy

 Now, the usual rule of thumb is that winter is an excuse to be ugly. Especially in the past few days, it’s bitterly cold, it’s windy and no one sees you under bundles and bundles of clothes. So, girls, only feel a little guilty about adorning Ugg boots; and boys, hat hair is acceptable. Unfortunate weather gives me the fortunate license to dress for warmth not for attractiveness. At least, that’s what I thought.

But apparently, this winter was different. I’ve seen more gorgeous people this season than last summer (and that’s when girls don’t wear bras)! From the time I step out of the subway at Union Square,  gorgeousness blinds me. It’s like the sun, it kinda hurts to look at but you can’t help it. (Not to mention, the hotness in the season I don’t take pride in my appearance, really gives me an inferiority complex. Womp Womp.)

Even though there is less sunlight and more clothes, there just seems to be more Glamazons and Glamasauruses (sounds like dinosaurs) than usual.

I don’t know how to feel about this increase of attractiveness. Should I be happy there is more eye candy? Or bitter because I’m cold and there is more competition? I’m going with a more negative outlook. No surprise there.

What will happen in spring, when there are adorable sundresses and no coats? What if hot people, not weather, is the result of global warming? Maybe we are in more trouble than we thought.
