i think a lot of you are missing the point. This girl is 17, not 15. BIG difference.
she isnt doing it to be independant. Im SURE she still takes every penny she can squeeze out of mommy and daddy. The point it the consumer mindset of these young people.
if mommy and daddy give her enough money for old navy or maybe the gap, she will gladly sell her ass for abercrombie. If mommy and daddy pony up for the abercrombie then she will sell her ass for A|X .. soon thats not enough and shes gonna need the straight up designer shit with a louis vuitton change purse that cost 190$. The problem is that more is always better.
I mean honestly though, if i was in her posistion, and someone said you have to go to a hotel, and dance around naked and ill buy you a td05 turbo kit with stainless manifolds and external wastegates, you can better believe i would sign up.
its consumerism. Americans will do anything in order to be able to buy the shit they really dont need. never has fight club been
more dead on. the things she owns end up owning her.
i honestly think that you guys saying that she is trying to be independant are missing the mark. i dont get that feeling at all.
