I just had to laugh when i read this entry. I identify with all of the above, except maybe the football thing (not much of a sports fan).

My wardrobe is divided into jeans, tshirts, and workclothes - 6 shirts, 2 pairs of pants; none of which require ironing. I shop for clothing once a year - when my jeans rip. During which i will top up any work shirts that start looking too ratty to wear any more. My spending money is currently reserved for camera gear, and eventually a bigger bike.

My mother asks “don’t you think it’s time you grow up and realize you’re a girl?”

I notice you’re using a Mac. Mac users don’t need to keep upgrading their Macs like PC users right? So why the constant need to look at “computers” or Mackintosh in your instance?

And why don’t you use “Macs” instead of computers when writing? I always conjure this image of PCs in my mind when I read your blog.

I think we’d get along; yes, I’m a girlie girl in some ways, but I’m also an obsessive sports fan and love a good pint.

Amen to your view on shopping for girlie fashion vs shopping for tech stuff, fellow geek girl! It’s nice to know I’m not alone…

Many times I’m dragged to a shop by female colleagues or friends to shop for clothes/shoes/bags and I’m always trying my best to not feel bored. If asked, “Isn’t this shoe great?” I will try to reply that it is in as interested a tone as I can manage. But put me in Funan or Sim Lim or a PC Show and I feel like a kid in a candy shop. :)

At last a girl that understands what we men feel when our GFs/wives take us to clothing shops (even if the clothes is for us)!

If you ever set up a reform nudist colony, do let me know. Like you, I can admire everything in a camera and computer shop.

But when it comes to shopping, I can be totally disinterested unless I am in need of new clothes or when there’s an event. So, whenever it comes to prom, I get really bad “headache”.

And yes, it feels better holding my camera than a few pieces of garments that will give me nothing except the looks.

I’m a reformed anti-clothes shopper female.

Sadly, living in the big city for a few years makes you realise (the hard way) you’re not doing yourself any favours if you don’t look passably good by everyone else’s standards.

So I think I know what it’s like on both sides of the divide. To some extent.

I miss my carefree childhood island days, when clothes didn’t matter as much. When you get that nudist colony up and running, (preferably on a lovely warm tropical island- besides Singapore) please drop me a line and count me in.
