Everyone Loves a Boston Girl

Is it bad that we had guest speakers in our class talking about their publication that’s all about peace and love and anti-violence, and all I could think about is how Glamour magazine would have a field day giving them makeovers?? Sometimes I feel like a horrible person, but just because you’re anti-consumerism, and hippyish, doesn’t mean you need to look like schmuck. I don’t think it’s very effective. You can certainly find clothes at Good Will and what not that actually fit and don’t hang down to your knees. You can also probably give yourself a halfway decent haircut.

I just feel like if you want people to listen to you, you should make yourself presentable. Even if I agreed with everything these people were saying (which I did not), I’d be apprehensive to join their cause because they looked so horrible. But instead of listening to everything they stood for, I just kept looking at them asking “why?” You might not care what you look like but other people do, and when you show that you don’t give a crap about your appearance, other people aren’t going to give a crap about what you say.
