Breaking Free From the Fashion Police

It isn't hard to observe that most Alaskan women have absolutely no regard for fashion or fancy preening and pruning. At first it may strike some as odd or even a bit too rustic--but from the women's perspective it is a joyful liberation from the fashion police.
Once a woman has moved to Alaska, it only takes a few years to give up on fashion and easily swim in the waters of comfort instead. It becomes the dirty little secret of ladies whose family & friends still reside in the "lower 48". These new Alaskan women snicker how those on the "outside" obsess and wonder how someone can "let themselves go". But alas--they don't know how liberating it feels to drink from the fountain of freedom from expectations.
It's not like giving up on fashion and heavy make-up means Alaskan women look bad. There certainly are quite a few that should look in the mirror more often. But in my opinion, the worst cases simply need to get into shape or find a laundromat.
It is certainly a much bigger crime that so many "urban" women spend so much money & time on clothes, shoes and make-overs. It is the most ridiculous and frivolous waste of time imaginable. And in the long run-an incredible stressor.
Just ask any "Alaska girl" about the relief of breaking free...
