Hey everyone, it's inf1nity. I'd like to discuss for a moment the aspect of originality. Though each and every person on this planet has a different personality, I have come to realize that some people choose not to show it. Now, I am not one to point the finger, but people have to realize that they don't have to look like everyone else!

Whenever I go to a place like the Pool Party or the Playground, I see a group of girls who buy all their parts at one store or wear the same parts as others. A lot of people really like the designs they wear, but where I come from, followers are not needed or wanted. If a popular girl wears really ugly hair, you can bet that ten minutes later the person who made that hair will be rolling in riches, on account of everyone buying it to fit in.

It is OK to buy something that no one else has. In fact, that is the best way to go. If you find a weird looking hat and pair it with dazzling hair, you could be the trendsetter of the century!

Do you buy the same clothes as everyone else to be popular? To be accepted? Do you actually expect to be noticed if you look like everyone else? You're just another fish in the sea. If you want to be an electric, glowing jellyfish (or whatever, LoL), you have to do your own thing. Buy what you like, be unique!

I hope to see people showing their true colors in the future!

Peace out,
Inf1nity

Editor's Note: That's an interesting point, Inf1nity, and it gives me a thought: why does everyone in Whyville look like a person? Why aren't there more "electric, glowing jellyfishes" in this town? Who says you have to be human in Whyville? Can't we think of more interesting shapes to explore, and discover fashions in them? How about jellyfish fashions -- what would jellyfish wear, if they could?
