Caitlin Moran Quote

It seems that being a woman is very expensive and time-consuming. My innocence about this is incongruous, given my age, but total. I come from grunge, and then Britpop--scenes where you boast about how little you spend on an outfit (Three quid! From a jumble sale! Ooooh, pricey--I found this jacket in a Dumpster. On a dead man. Under a fox carcass), and taking pride in getting ready to go out consists of little more than washing your face, putting on your Doc Martens/snaeakers, and applying black Barry M nail polish, £1, on the bus into town.
