I still look at stuff I haven't worn in years, and think, but I might!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gimme half an excuse to bust out the leather pants, and I will. It has easily been 15+ years since I last did. That half excuse is elusive.
Why am I looking at pictures of Batman/Superman wondering if they'd really leave on that much of their costumes? Characterisation? ita? Really?

Superman must rip a lot of clothes, huh?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
When I do purge, I keep things just because I love them, whether I wear them (or can wear them) or not. But I keep them in a box and not in my closet. And it is just one box, so that's not so bad, right?

Not so bad!
I'm trying to go to Goodwill more regularly, since I only bring a little at a time, due to carrying it.

I think with Batman it's slow and tender and...maybe there's a striptease?
Tasty tea.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I just did that big clothes purge in January, when I got rid of 9 bags of clothes and cleared out more than half of my rather huge closet and reduced three drawers of lounge-around-the-apartment clothes to one.
I'll be restocking both the closet and the chest of drawers after I finish losing my weight--a friend has already stated emphatically that we are going to go out shopping at that point, because she feels my clothes shopping skills are severely lacking.

Because books.
I know I'm not a true comics fan, but in my head Batman would call Superman a sissy, and go for someone like Iron Man.
Perkins and ita are wholly responsible for me mainlining Community for days now.

I mean just by accident. It can't be slow and tender ALL the time!
Um, which reminds me, I need to mend that one dress....

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yeah, me too. But we knew we wouldn't be getting any smaller, and our mom's did the purging that we won't do. And in my case (and a few other folks here) we were pretty broke and it was a struggle to have enough clothing at all.
Yeah, we were pretty broke, too. 90% of my clothes were things my mother made for me or we got secondhand. Purging clothes, though, was something I don't recall my mother ever did. For me, purging was "I've grown out of this" and for her, clothes were so dearly come by that she never got rid of anything. I think my sister and I have both inherited the tendency to think "I paid money for this! It still fits (or soon will)! I CAN'T get rid of it!" I'm purging clothes right now. I have a big trash bag of Goodwill accumulating in the hall. I also have a mountain of clothes on my bed. I expect to sleep on the couch tonight, and find them all covered in cat hair in the morning.
