Even our Trep, the biggest fashionista I know, will tell you that the most exquisite Dolce & Gabbana/Armani/Donna Karan ensemble is wasted if the person wearing it is lacking in personality. Sure, people will notice and appreciate the clothes, but they still won't pay any attention to the person inside the clothes.

Of course, explaining this to a teenager with an advanced case of the "gotta haves" is a study in futility. Maybe you should let him buy the magic girl-magnet pants and then you and Christer refuse to give him one more dime (or the Swedish equivalent thereof...a dime is 1/10th of a dollar) until it's time for him to get his regular allowance again.

Let him truly live with the consequences of his actions.
