rockgirl consumerism


A self-conversation with the rockgirl in the sport climbing aisle at MEC (a mecca for the outdoor enthusiast):

"Do you really need that?"

"What are you talking about? Daisy chains are useful and I"ll use it!"

"But don't you already have one? A nice, almost-brand-new-and-unused, orange one?"

"So? I can always use an extra."

"You used the one you have only ONCE."

"Because I usually use a long quickdraw for anchor."

"Hah, like I said... do you really need that?"

"But it's... it's... PINK!"

"Oh, god. How more girly can you get?! It's just a daisy chain!"

"But it's pink..."

"........."

"Shut up. I'm buying it... Why am I even talking to myself?"
