[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No fashion, entertainment or cool industries. A lot of government people which attracts people who are by nature pretty risk averse. It shows in how people dress (and a lot of other things). [/quote]
Thats what I'm thinking.  I grew up here and moved back after college but realizing now I just can't do it.  I am in a creative industry and love to wear avante garde fashion, but I feel like half the time I wear what I think is cool and fresh, I get stared at on the street like I'm some kind of freak.  And I'm wearing clothes that would fit in perfectly and be considered normal in LA and NYC.  It's really frustrating.  I just dont get it. [/quote]

I think you should move.[/quote]

I am trying to.  In the meantime, it's annoying. [/quote]

Did one person on the Metro give you the stink-eye?  Was she 80?  I find it hard to believe anyone really cares that much.  What are you wearing.  A dress made of safety pins?[/quote]

I'm not trying to go into a lot of detail but there's a style called "health goth" right now (that I'm guessing many of you dont know about).  And not just one look.  many.  And like I said, these are styles that are totally accepted in nyc or la.  Here people look at you like youve committed a felony.  And I am a very attractive, clean looking young woman. [/quote]

Wow, if you fell for "health goth" you are really an idiot. That's basically something probably made up by a handful of social media engineers to see if they could make the most ridiculous trend ever actually take off. Or a sociology experiment. I may look like crap in my dirt grey, ill fitting Ann Taylor pantsuit, but at least I'm not a fashion fraud victim. [/quote]

:roll: You are the kind of person who's opinion I just dont care for.  Health goth is not the only fashion style I wear, but it's one.  Enjoy your Ann Taylor pantsuits, you might as well just move in to the retirement home now.[/quote]
