Check out these OCD types in New York Magazine who only wear one color.

This is like the pretension of the people in The Look Book taken to an extreme.

Pictures (with sample quotes of craziness) are here:

I want to punch that all-grey girl. The all-blue girl kind of looks adorable, but....this is definitely a mental illness.

wow. just, wow. at least the blue girl has like, one silver purse up there in the corner.

also, I don't get Stephin Merritt. he only wears dumpy thrift store clothes?

[faux_teak]

Yeah, I like that in his case, he's all "brown is good, because it doesn't show dirt and when it fades, you can't really tell."

Basically, he's just extremely lazy.

"I also buy white Chanel and Christian Louboutin shoes, and I color them blue with custom-ordered electric-blue Sharpies."

This makes me want to cry. If I could afford Chanel and Christian Louboutin shoes, I would never ever deface them.

People are so weird.

[faux_teak]

Same here!

Having just (very excitedly) bought my first pair of Louboutins, I can't imagine COLORING on them. WITH SHARPIES!!!

Some people have wacked out priorities.

(PS, Happy birthday belatedly!)

Ohmigod, I'm so jealous of your shoes! Beautiful. Please don't color them with sharpies.

[faux_teak]

Don't worry. I won't. I'll just wear them when I'm helping aaaaaames paint her new apartment.

*pets the shoes protectively*

Quoth the silver girl: My mom thinks I should branch out, but I can’t imagine that. I don’t know if it’s a condition; I’ve always wondered if there’s a name for it.

...Yeah, I think the name you're looking for is CRAZY!

Yeah, and the other thing I loved about her is how she says that before she did gray, she did the same thing with turquoise. It's a chronic condition, her craziness.
