People may tell you that vanity is not a good thing. People may tell you that competition is not a good thing. People may tell you that obsession with fashion is not a good thing. People may say that the world would be a better place if none of us worried about our appearance.
I agree that the totally self absorbing vanity that has someone trapped in front of a mirror from 4 o'clock in the morning slavishly doing their hair and make-up regime; or the soul destroying competition that has a person living on a treadmill while eating just a cracker a day; or the clothes addiction that sees some women invest more in their wardrobe than they do in their superannuation, is certainly not desirable. However a complete lack of vanity, a complete disinterest in personal appearance and a total 'letting down the guard' of style is a completely pitiable decision.
The following is the result when one is removed from the scrutiny of the public eye. When you witness for yourself the terrible transformation that I underwent from chic city chick to comfort seeking country bumpkin, you will also be forced to agree- a little bit of vanity, a little bit of competition, a little bit of fashion awareness is a good thing.
