"Appearances are not reality, but they often can be a convincing alternative to it."

 

 

I'm not quite sure what the world may think of llamas having anything to do with this post but I think they have something do with this post so that is why they are here. So stop wondering.

Llamas. Very strange creatures indeed.

 

"Appearances are not reality..."

 

This I can see as being relevant to llamas. I mean really, look at that llama. You see a sweet, hay chomping animal who looks cool and collected. One cool llama. But if you know a mean llama, well it can kind of ruin everything for you. I mean really... They Spit!

 

"...but they often can be a convincing alternative to it."

I would rather have this picture of a llama and believe that llamas can be gorgeous and calm. And can be completly satisfied when eating hay on the barn floor. Instead of being absolutely crazy and trying to eat your hair. Yes... it has happened before. If you have not experienced it, then you have never visited a successful farm!  

 

Now, consider for a moment what you are wearing today. Are you wearing an outfit that makes you comforatble? Are you wearing something that you thought was well... you? Or are you wearing something that the rest of the world is wearing? Are you wearing something that displays a rather large logo and boots that were in the magazine last week? Or are you wearing something that was in the back of the store, actually fits you and defines who you are? '

 

By wearing an outfit that isn't you, you are putting out the image, or rather the appearance of not being real to yourself! It's an easy fix, just go find something that is really you way down deep inside. For instance, don't you really really want to wear that hot pink shirt with the zebra print pants to match? I thought so... and look! I can't find it anywhere in the magazines!

 

When you wear that magazine cutout outfit you are convincing the world around you that this is really who you are. You are not original. You are a cookie cut out of a fashion magazine. And how much fun is that?

 

Are you the alternative to reality that you want to be?

 

Or are you going to be like the llama and be the cookie cut?

 

 

How Original Mr. Llama... This is why I don't go too near you anymore at the farm...
