"As vice-president of the fasion club at lawndale high, it is my duty to examine the social impact of advances in shopping technology by fully researching the impact of online commerce on teenage buying habits and credit card abuse (at least untill mum and dad find out).
Shopping online is convenient and private, which is a good thing if you really are a size larger than your friends think you are (not me) or are fedup with certain people making comments in the dressing room about your shoulder blades being an uneven elevation, which they are just imagining.
The downside is you cant try anything on unless you pay for it, so you dont get to see how great you look in outfits that are way out of your price range.
And lets say the delivery comes when you are at home alone and you try on a lavender slip dress with eyelet edging and it gets stuck on your head while you are taking it off and there is no one there to help you and you cant even see to dial a phone for help and you have to wait untill your sister comes home and you have to beg her not to take pictures. Not that it ever really happened, no. What sister?
Now, if you think charging in cyberspace is cool, just wait untill the future! I hear that shopping implants are being invented in some cold country where everyone is blonde, and soon you will just have to think about something to automatically buy it.
At least thats what Daria told me before she went off to spend her dirty hush money on some depressing book." |
