I am getting away from "bittersweet" (hate the term :P) and trying to focus instead more on purely Gothic and Classic. I hoard my clothes much too much though XD so I'll probably just end up with a ton of Classic clothes in my closet now too, on top of all the loud pink and black prints.caro-chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02816959125315317615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742272516878916648.post-86816564113790349902010-04-26T19:31:42.249-04:002010-04-26T19:31:42.249-04:00This issue of the seemingly inevitable transition ...This issue of the seemingly inevitable transition from sugar-coma-inducing sweet to a more demure, classic style always reminds me of the "Pepsi vs. Coke" taste test paradox...<br /><br />As mentioned in the book Blink, Pepsi beats Coke hands-down in blind taste tests, but, in the real world, American consumers buy much more Coke than Pepsi. What's to explain this conundrum? Well, the answer seems to be that Pepsi is the overall sweeter beverage, thus offering the most extreme experience to the acute taster. That said, once a person then decides to adopt "soda-drinking" as a lifestyle habit (which I wouldn't recommend :P), the intense sweetness of Pepsi becomes overpowering and unpleasant, so the switch to Coke happens naturally.<br /><br />I feel like this phenomenon touches upon the axiom "Too much of a good thing" and probably reflects human physiology. Physically, human beings just aren't meant to handle anything super extreme for too long. Any intense sensation or powerful stimulus is desirable in the short-term, but once we decide to live with something and adopt it for the long run, intense things often start to take on a sharper and more caustic tone. <br /><br />So, in short, don't feel bad about being a living statistic...most of us are :P Heck, I'm new to lolita and head-over-heals in love with sweet XDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
