There's something so classy and unique about the past. I've always had such an interest in the culture and styles of the past, mainly the 1900's. There's something so authentic about old pictures and such. Gah! I just can't get enough of it. And lately I've been so excited to visit garage sales and charities! It's all old stuff-cheap-but so grand! The other day I bought this huge broach and necklace at the local charity and it looks so legitimate...because it IS. If you go to stores like Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie, you find the same looking stuff. Only it's around $30 more and it's not actually vintage. It's just manufactured in 2009 like the rest of the world.
Today's society is so...modern and just tacky. There's nothing classic about it. Nothing that our grandkids will say "Wow, that's really special...". Why? Because we all run around in short shorts and slut suits. There isn't any respect. There are no "customs" because America is more like Americhinaindimiddleast. So what trends are we setting to look back on? We're borrowing from pretty much every decade in the 20th century. This is a bummer.
