So I just watched a vlog. One of these fashion vloggers visited my city and did a vlog there. She was roaming the streets alone, just eating a shit ton of food and buying a shit ton of stuff. This city is extremely expensive, and I knew most of the places she visited. It was definitely not worth it to pay the amount that I estimated she paid for all that stuff, especially not the clothes (I really hate fast fashion). She also ate so much food, all of which she could have made at home for a fraction of that price.
I understand wanting to be indulgent sometimes, but when it becomes a lifestyle (at least in front of the camera), it deeply disturbs me. I wonder if I'm just being weird about it, and thinking too much into it.
"I think I had a successful day at shopping. Shopping can be an exercise. And I feel a little gross at how much I spent, but I think I'm done with shopping for a while".
Idk... All this selling of "stuff", it feels so fake to me. And at the end of the video, she visits a tower where you can have a view of the city. She mentions how everyone is busy taking photos and how she decided to just put everything away, including her phone, and be quiet for a while. But to illustrate these annotations, she still filmed herself "being quiet for a while". It seemed insanely ironic to me.
I don't wanna be that person who takes the fun out of things. I don't wanna give this girl shit for liking pretty stuff. But am I not right in that this is a little disturbing?
