TILT: (Wed) Fetish: lusting after things

A new section for the blog: what do I desire to buy? Cool new expensive watch? Cool new Merrell Vertex shoes? Whatever I see in the NY Times magazine mens fashion section? Sure. But most I can't afford. Doesn't mean it's not worth looking, does it? Some days, I do wish for these things. Other days, I think this is stupid and anyway who has the money.

But, those some days, I sure do lust after things. Don't you?

You just want to try them on. To look different, more sophisticated, more cool. More hip, if indeed someone 47 ever can look hip anymore. More like an artist, less like an analyst. How to pull that off, that style, that slight difference that makes people notice you a bit more. Yes, I do wish I were more hip. Perhaps before I get a hip replacement. Maybe that's what my current wardrobe needs, a hip replacement. Or addition, since it doesn't have much to replace.
