When was it when you found you’re too old for the silly imaginary world and it’s time you start paying attention to make-up, brands, consoles, ipods and ipads?
Re: "nylons and lipsticks and invitations"
you're never too old for it. there's no reason the two can't co exist.

Being a guy, I could actually consider all the last three as over rated. But then again, to each their own. I love bikes when I could totally see similar aged people being scared of them.
Re: "nylons and lipsticks and invitations"
Huh? That's an odd question or maybe it's the wording.
I was more interested in makeup as a kid than I am now. I still like reading and writing picture books which often deal with the imaginary world. I still watch Disney/Pixar movies.....am I too old for that? I don't think so. As Sara said, the two can coexist...unless your mind is so warped and you don't percieve a dfference between the real and imaginary.

You never daydreamed about being hot, ssmart, and strong? You've never mentally lived in even THAT type of imaginary world? :p

Re: “nylons and lipsticks and invitations”
Upar dekho. I edited the wording of my post to make it sound more evil. 
Re: "nylons and lipsticks and invitations"
menu ki pata....... i don't very high IQ :(
Re: "nylons and lipsticks and invitations"
Sara is right, I need to find a balance between the two worlds.
I wanna go to Narnia. I don't like this world, even with Dior and other stuff I have.
Re: "nylons and lipsticks and invitations"
When I watched Avatar I stayed very depressed for a week as I wanted to move to the land of white sand and deep blue waters. I want to live on an island (like Nym's Island), in a t-shirt and a pair of cropped trousers, wearing a necklace made with seashells, and then one day I'll go on a cruise in search of a treasure wearing what Keira Knightley wore in Pirates of Caribbean.
But I'm only a SAHM who lives in a cold cold country where the sun never comes out.
So when I'm sick and tired of the cold and dark weather I play make belief games with my boys...sometimes I pretend to be the white witch of Narnia and sometimes I'm Aslan...my boys are always Peter, Edmund and Lucy.

Re: "nylons and lipsticks and invitations"
Fantasy/adventure is my escapism. I was having a a discussion with our guys here and we have a very similar taste in books. It was a rather interesting discussion on the need for escapism in our line of work and the focus on morality considering what we see. So yup I had/have an over active imagination and I love to escape in to fantasy adventure books where at the end good triumphs over evil because i see too much of the ****ing opposite in real life.
As for brands and stuff. I have never been one to look after my appearance. My European friends say I dress like an American. That is an insult. So that has changed in the past 2 or 3 years. I tend to buy specific brands for specific things but normal every day wear can be anything.

Escapism, it occurs in your mind when you have a life full of abnormalities/negativeness or when you have a life which is abnormally normal. You find escape in imagination and fantasizing and I, in spending time on internet and spending money on brands.
Have you watched Equilibrium? In that movie, people of Libria must take a drug called Prozium to suppress their emotions and imagination to maintain the peace and normality in the city. I feel most people around me are on Prozium and sometimes when I miss the dose I wake up for few moments.
Reason why children don't feel cold or hot because their imagination is much more stronger than us adults, the imaginary world is more real for them. When I was little I remember walking outside without any warm clothes on, during winter nights, just to see the night sky, I used to jump high to touch the sky and catch the stars...never felt scared or cold. Things like that start to come back when you start living your life through your children or when you stop taking Prozium. :-/
I want to write more but gotta go.
Re: "nylons and lipsticks and invitations"
BTW CM, what you're doing is a good sort of escapism, keep at it.
Re: "nylons and lipsticks and invitations"
I want to move to Hogwart's or Terra Nova with my Mac book and make up bag.

Well in my case my life was very boring. Thus the desire for adventure and escapism. I didn't realize how exciting life was till I was older and then well I stopped reading. I didn't read a book for a few years. Only back in the field has the need to find such books appealing come back. Equilibrium is an awesome move. Its a mixture of 1984 and Matrix. I love it. I love the final fight scene in the hallway before the big bad boss. That was awesome! Its a cult movie and everybody should watch it.
Personally think people grow up way too fast and forget their inner child. That is why I have mine caged in a corner and I poke it every now and then to see if t is alive. Everybody needs to remember what it means to be a child full of wonder and acceptance. Shame adults get too caught up in getting to work, getting that promotion, getting that next big paycheck to enjoy life.
Yup. Definitely the good sort. My other options are drinking, smoking and whoring around. And being healthy and exercise. That is just as bad as whoring around and drinking :D

Re: “nylons and lipsticks and invitations”
CM and his bacchanalian fantasies. 
I agree though…books are fun, but if I had as much freedom and independence as you single people I’d spend most of my time sating my wanderlust. I’d work for 6 months to raise enough money to spend another 6 months travelling and exploring the world…making my dreams a reality. Oh but I understand you guys have to work in order to pay off the study loan and other nonsense. ugh…screw that.
And yes, that last scene from Equilibrium, I’ve watched it repetitively on dvd and Youtube.
