Dear American Eagle

This day I observed conformity at its worst. Hollister shirts, flats, skinny jeans, and cardigans. All the students in the building wore identical styles. Any attempts at individuality fell short as a complete and utter disaster. Clashing colors, torn clothing and mismatched, wrongly placed fabrics. A multi-billion dollar industry subliminally advertised through casual attire. Others, in my opinion, they dress out of their age for the environment. Fancy scarves, sophisticated shirt-dresses and expensive looking hair dos. More fit for the office than for class. So spic and span that they seem incapable of movement. Leave that uncomfortable wear for the manikin displays, not our humanly bodies. Slightly pompous figures wore too tight clothing that only accentuated their issues. Slender sticks dressed in fabrics that defined their already brittle and bony shoulders, tiny hips and chicken ankles. The extremes of our culture is unbelievable, emphasizing the misconceptions we hold of ourselves. There is as great a difference amongst them as there is amongst the pixels of my LCD monitor with its contrast dynamic ratio of 20,000 to 1!

I wonder if they fail to realize that their vain attempts to achieve originality and uniqueness builds a conformist cult beyond reconciling(as that is what they would have to do, they're catholic, aren't they?)! It is ridiculous the amount of money wasted on clothing because their peers would regard them differently based upon their choices as an individual.

Unsympathetically yours,
