Even though I've never actually gone shopping on another world, it's interesting to see what styles and fashions are popular in other places. This, I believe, is all Earth-- most of the websites I encounter seem to be, and a lot of it looks familiar.

It does make me curious, however. If clothing similar to Fire Nation dress exists on Earth worlds, why am I always stared at when I wear my day clothes in public?

OOC: I AM SO ADDICTED TO THIS WEBSITE YOU HAVE NO IDEA. And I'm not even interested in fashion. Whut.

I think it's because people don't really wear that stuff everyday. Just on special occasions

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Why?

[autobot-girl.livejournal.com]

Well if you're on modern Earth, it's old fashion and a lot of people don't wear that stuff anymore unless it's for cultural festivals. Especially if you're not in China.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... I've never been to China. Is it common there, at least?

[autobot-girl.livejournal.com]

Probably around the more rural areas and places that are trying to attract tourists.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

That's idiotic. There's nothing wrong with dressing this way.

For one, you're royalty, people are going to stare at you if you dress the way you usually do. For another, that stuff you linked is pretty fancy anyway.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I don't always wear my royal robes, or my armor. My day clothes are much more convenient and basic.

You sound like Honoka when she says her house isn't that big.

pretend the second one's just a link to a picture and nothing else ;)

How is this (http://screenshots.avatarspiritmedia.net/306/023.jpg) fancy compared to this (http://invisiblejohnny.deviantart.com/art/Fire-Lord-Azula-98695411)?

[cannotbelieve.livejournal.com]

Not compared to your fancy stuff, compared to normal clothes!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Those are normal clothes.

[cannotbelieve.livejournal.com]

There's normal normal and Azula-san normal.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't own any peasant clothes.

[cannotbelieve.livejournal.com]

Hey, I didn't say you had to wear a potato sack or anything!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Commoner clothes, then.

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

Because no one from Earth has dressed like that since China's Warring States period ended.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

What about people in China?

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

Only on holidays.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

That's ridiculous.

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

You asked why people are staring. That's why. You're in America, aren't you? They probably think you're filming a movie or going to a costume party.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I'm not in America right now, but I've been there.

Nothing on that website said they were only worn during holidays.

He is the last person on Earth anyone should take fashion tips from.

[honestcop.livejournal.com]

That site is all cheongsams. Those are different.

pfffft

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I don't see how. Plenty of people wear similar things here, too.

They're different on Earth.

Long ones make you look like you're going to a formal party. Short ones make you look like a stewardess.
