Why the heck do people make comments on your outfit so frequently? This is baffling to me.

I guess I have my angry stare down, as people seem to leave me alone when I’m in public, and I make sure of it. You need to work on your mean face, but that’s probably impossible for you since you’re a rainbow of light!

PS: Rockin’ the new boots like a star!

People where I live are very judgmental. I don’t think it’s like this everywhere. It is a huge issue for other people in my town as well (not just outfits but anything “different.”)
I do occasionally have some nasty facial expressions but I’m generally pretty timid in public and just want to avoid people.

Hmmmm. I would have responded to that by going back there the next day with liberty spikes dyed green, a torn GG Allen T shirt, and all the punk rock cliche clothes. See how they react to that!

Those boots are awesome! How can anyone not have their day brightened by your presence! :-) Don't ever change! :-) Also I think this should be your theme song...

You look great! I have no idea what she was talking about!
Sounds like someone who just couldn't be nice today and wanted to put others down! :(

How did she even come to be speaking to you?
Just taking it on herself to alert you to her fashion opinions?
Or what?

She glared at me and I looked back at her and then she said that. Definitely just alerting me to her fashion opinions.

"Thanks, I wore it just to annoy you and... yay it worked!"

"Aww, you must be really disappointed that you can't do anything about it."

"But I'm only 6 and I have that disease that makes me look a lot older. Also, I've lost my mommy, can you help me find her?"

I could probably go on all day...
