Fo Real or Not Fo Real?

Glenn made a really good point today in class.  Why the heck do we wear clothes?  I agree their are reasons that we have to, for example it is cold.  We don't want to get frost bite so we wear warm clothes.  Generally in California do we really need to wear clothes, the weather is so nice, maybe not.  Society has given this "rule" that we must wear clothes or else it would be "inappropriate." This "rule" is so understood that someone would most likely be sent home from school if they came naked.  It is what it is.  So what we have to wear clothes for no reason.  I like them.  We get to express ourselves and give our personality through our clothes :)

When we were specific clothes we often give an idea of our identity.  In high school we see people eat lunch with people that look just like them.  I agree with this for the most part because I have seen it.  What is interesting about my group of friends we loved being different.  We called our selves BAWM!  Which stands for BLACK, ASIAN, WHITE, and MEXICAN.  That is exactly what we are all different.

Also, I was very interested when the avatar lady was talked about.  She was a bigger person and had an avatar that was very thin, I don't actually remember their names.  BUT it was strange, the question that was brought up was is this real or "fake."  (interesting that we did establish that their is no real and no fake, well why did I just put quotes around fake.  haha idk)  She clearly did not like who se was and said she felt herself in the thinner body.  I actually do consider this real to her personally but most likely fake to everyone else.  Does it matter if its fake to everyone else?  Why should it matter?  It is your body and your imaginary world do as you like.
