Profession: Obsessive Shopper

By Sarah Bielak

I do not know a single soul who does not love to go shopping. I mean, with each and every new bag, shoes, clothes and accessories coming out of the market every now and then, it is not possible for even a single man or woman to not hunger for something brand new that she or he just got to purchase. I recall exactly how it feels to desire to shop for the latest devices, the newest leather bags, the newest shoes, the trendiest clothes and a luxurious set of jewelry. All of it and so much more. This reminds me of how much most girls thirst to go shopping, even if it's the last thing they'd do before the end of the world.


Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent, Hermes. The list goes on and on. These are usually the names that girls call upon when they get sick. These usually are comforting and easing and comfort words to them. In numerous adult men I know, they call upon Burberry, Calvin Klein, John Varvatos, Dolce & Gabbana and so much more. There are usually a lot of brands that adult males and most women share too so don't get confused as you go shopping. A large number of designers have fashion lines suited for both blokes and a lot of women, and all these names are generally answering to 3 of the best when it comes to status symbol. VISA, MasterCard and American Express. I know various others but they did not make it to the list due to fluctuating fame. I'd rather stick with the giants to play it safe.


Women tend to be compulsive shoppers. This is based on experience so don't lash out on me just yet. Most women go to malls and they're just like rats scattering all over the place. They search every corner, every single store, and every hanger. Leaving no traces of second thoughts in grabbing everything they could get their hands on. Especially during a season sale. You'll see an ocean of girls raging at the mall entrance, waiting for security to open up the mall's entrance, and when they do, it's a major stampede. Just like a pack of hungry wolves making their way through the woods to find their prey. And you better get out of their way if you want to make it to your next itinerary safely.


In a cable TV show where a group of men and women helps out families to clean out the major clutter dilemma they have at home, there's this one episode of a woman who spends so much on shopping, to the point that she has still have not used at least 50% of the things she has acquired. Plus the best part is, all the stuff is scattered and piled up in mounds across the living room to the kitchen until the bedroom. That was the first time I ever saw mountain ranges of clothes, bags, shoes, scarves, hats and undies, all in just one big pile.


These kinds of compulsive shoppers could actually feed an entire community for months, even if they sold each item at half of its original price. The point I'm trying to drive at is that shopping can be fun and at the same time, educating. You can learn a lot from shopping if you only know how to separate your needs from your wants and I assure you, you'll never have to call for a clean house. - 31834
