[Smoking at the podium is probably bad form, but here's Penelope, doing exactly that thing.]

How do you dress when you're at home? Is it different from how you dress when you're at work, or when you're out running errands, or when you're out partying or whatever?

Do you feel like what you wear is part of your personality, or do you use it to mask your personality from the uncaring eye of society or whatever?

Or do you feel like clothes are unimportant and don't have any impact on who you are at all? Because you're frankly fucking wrong, if that's what you think, but I mean I'm not your mom who clearly raised you wrong, so who am I to judge, right?

[Penelope feels she is precisely the one to judge. Everything. Clearly.]

I grew up in a rural, cold area, so I don't get to dress very well, I think — I usually wear leggings, sometimes with skinny jeans over them, and fuzzy sweaters, dresses with flowers on them, or t-shirts with the neck cut open. And black boots that lace up the front. If you don't wear waterproof boots in Provideniya, your shoes will get soaked. I don't wear make-up. I dress the same pretty much anywhere, but when I work, I have to roll my sleeves up and wear gloves.

The man I see in New York says I don't look very cosmopolitan, but that it isn't a bad thing? He might just be saying that.

Sounds a lot like Minnesota to be honest. There's always something to be said for utility, especially where cold weather and snow are concerned. Fashion tends to forget it exists, and then like 70% of the population is like "WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO SELL ME WINTER SHOES WITH OPEN TOES? I DON'T UNDERSTAND" and that's money they don't make.

I would like to make money from those people also. All the money.

Also the man you see in New York is a prick who sounds a lot like the kind of guy who refers to anything that isn't in NY or LA as "flyover country" for saying that shit. Next time he says you don't look very "cosmopolitan" you tell him he doesn't look very "like he's going to get any tonight or ever again if he keeps insulting you with that bullshit". Do it for the vine.
