Celebrity worshipping is bad for the soul and wardrobe

Sure, everyone likes to take a peak at what their favorite actor or actress, singer or general celebrity is up to and this can be ok.  Now if you come home from work and immediately watch TMZ, the Daily 10, Extra and The Insider while flipping through People Magazine you may have a problem.  

Celebrities love to be trendy.  Most of us normal people should stay far far away from these trends.  Seeing Lindsay in her footless leggings or Britney in her Uggs or every freaking celebrity in maternity wear when they're not pregnant gives us the wrong idea.  

If you see something enough, especially when you see it worn by women with fab bodies you start to think that these things look good and they don't.  You will always be better off sticking with classic pieces that flatter your body (your body right now, not the one from 10 year ago or the one 6 months from now because you swear you're only going to eat salad) are pretty and well made and make you feel good.

Remember, looking like this is their job not yours.  You don't jump behind the counter at the bank or stock shelves at the grocery store because it's not your job.  They get a lot of this stuff for free or custom made for them.  Even if you are making gobs of money buying all of these things will make a dent in your bank account and do you really need a closet full of capes and gladiator sandals?
