Kurai Extravaganza

When I was younger, I wore long black skirts and black lipstick. Now, I wear pumps and pearl necklaces; LBDs are my favourite clothes and in my closet, more colours can be found than that I ever imagined to be in there. I even own a yellow shirt. I wear red lipstick, and wear more make-up than ever before and even occasionally buy and read fashion magazines.

When I was younger, I thought such things only were done by Barbie dolls (See my poem Barbie doll). I have to admit I was really wrong. I used to think the world existed only out of Barbie dolls, idiots and normal people, that is, people whom were slightly like me in any possible way. I viewed the world quite in extremes, and was disgusted of anyone snobby or posh, whom was immediately labeled as idiot. Such a foolish girl I was!

The gothic girl which I used to be turned into a little lady; the princess became a Queen. It is a process called growing up. My mother, the Queen, is right. I have developed a sense for fashion which is quite like hers. In fact, sometimes, my aesthetic views are even more posh than hers.

I must admit that I have become quite a snob. I do feel better than others by whiles; I love pretty things (and I do not exactly have a cheap taste, I am afraid). And if I am completely honest, I do feel more comfortable when I am surrounded by educated people, people with money and taste. Their ways of viewing life do disgust me, but they get to me even more. I do appreciate them in a certain way. And if I am honest, it?s an easy world to enroll in. One just has to have taste and manners, and some education. And the right connections in most situations.
But whom am I to judge about that? No one. Because, thanks to my father, but especially my mother?s university Master degree, I?m already sort of part of it. Because of the way my parents live, not completely, but still, I know enough people. And, seeing the study I?ve chosen to take up after graduation, I doubt it will ever get away. More likely, those around me then will be quite posh too. But, why would I worry, I feel at easy there. I rather be with people who are posh than with idiots. And yes, that does make me a snob, I do know this. However, that does not change my opinion.

I will wear classical BLDs, red lipstick and pumps. I place little pearl earrings in my ears and expensive necklaces around my neck. I wear clothes that look expensive but in fact come from the summer sales. Does that surprise you? Of course, I could buy clothes at the regular prices, but hey, my limits are not exactly endless. And, I am still Dutch. That does not change, whether I am a lady or not.

Be what you like, act how you like, ignore anyone?s opinion on your life and views and accept that people do change.
