It's a natural consequence of leaving one's home. You go outside, and there are people who are irritating. I'll be standing on the sidewalk, and someone berates me for smoking.

What's so great thing about clothes is that they're artificial - you can lie, you can choose the way you look, which is not true of natural beauty.

They should get some slacks and a nice overcoat. Remember when the style was incredibly messy hair? That's great if you're a model.
