HI Everyone...My name is Alisha and I am a Shopaholic!

The first step to recovery is to accept your addiction. I know I have a problem and it has taken a movie for me to accept my true colors. Yesterday I saw Confessiions of a Shopaholic (costume design by Patricia Fields, my idol..previous blog entry)I was hesitant at first because a review gave the move a D-,so I put aside any hopes of viewing a quality film, and committed to just viewing the costume choices. To my suprise, the movie was madd good. There was humor, slight drama, and the characters had exceptional wardrobes...of course! I was able to relate to the character of Rebecca. We shared a common love for boutiques,window displays, and the almost orgasmic rush of swiping! There was a scene where she was at a Shopaholics anonymous meeting and she shared a very emotional anecdote of why she loved shopping, to which I felt her every word! I love shopping for anything. . . I love window shopping...and unlike most, EVEN if Im broke I'll still go with someone to the mall and help them shop! I have gotten so much better, I only buy things I LOVE! But I seem to always come across things I LOVE. . . But I give myself an A for effort! The movie was fun to watch cuz we shared several common items... like the white gucci bag she carried, or her mac book with the pink cover... overall I give the movie a B+!
Sincerely Lish a recovering SHOPAHOLIC xoxo
