I buy heaps of shoes. I have some I've bought recently that I haven't even worn anywhere yet...

I buy lots of DVDs too. For awhile there I'd get a few every week, lol.

Big Gay Al, it has recently come to our attention that you are gay.

Definitely shoes. They're just so pretty and versatile, and no matter how much weight I gain or lose, shoes still fit. I also buy lots of dresses. They look great on me.

Hi.

Handbags and purses. I have so many.

my biggest ones are dresses and handbags.
you can hide so many of your own indiscretions with the right dress. and you can pair it so well to make diversity in your wardrobe. and dresses are easier to handle rather than trousers and a shirt. it's lighter, and less fuss... and you can always accent the right features better with a dress.

handbags are great just cause you can see so much about someone through their choice in handbags.

Alchohol.. lol

Purses, clothes (especially dresses), make-up from Sephora, coffee, books, and DVDs. I've run up some pretty big credit card bills for that stuff lol.

Long tops for some reason.

Bag - one size fits all :)

Also, dresses and for some reason i'm spending loads lately on just bulk buys of basic items like plain tshirts, vests, etc.

Cashmere sweaters are also a major indulgence at the moment.

Man live it up people. When I was single I bought things and didn't feel guilty about it and now with a husband, it's too hard. Even though I have my own job and my own money, it's really hard just to buy a pair of shoes without feeling like I could be using that money for something we both could use. I bought 4 pairs of shoes this year and I felt horribly guilty...especially when I found out they hurt too much to walk in more that 20 min straight. I usually just wear clothes and jewelry that are christmas gifts from my parents or friends. Yes, I have 6 shirts and 4 pants. Sad...I know. But the plus side is that when you're married, the urge for new clothes goes down because you feel secure in the relationship and you know even if you walk around with old clothes, your man will always still love you.

Shopping in general -- notebooks (for writing) and pens ---- Why?? I don't know... i just like the feeling of having something nice to write in and why so many pens? It really is an addiction, i couldn't say... if i stop in a bookstore/staples, i must get some sort of pen... kinda freaky really...

shopping in fashion -- er, i'll have to say bags... i love bags! don't know why but i do, bags and luggage! Have way too many of both but i'm always looking for new ones (next up is that Guess handluggage bag) hehehehe... i like buying tops too, doesn't matter but it comes and goes away...
but i have to say -- i hate shopping for shoes!! grrrr!!!

Scrapbooking stuff.

Shoes hurt my feet. Clothes are just to keep from running around naked. Nope, for me it's all about the scrapbooking. Pretty patterned paper. Cute stickers. Chipboard....that's the stuff that gives me a rush!

My biggest weakness is the Music CD's... I'm an avid music collector, and I collect original discs = albums, singles, special editions, promotional rare items (cd's, dvd's) and music DVD's as well.

Of course, I collect mainly my favorite artists' music, but sometimes I buy of others as well.

I always have my Wish List full in Amazon.com xD and I have a wish list written down on my notebook xD! LOL!

So yeah, I identified myself very much with this movie, not literally but I have the same shopping feelin' xD
