    I take SSRIs for anxiety... does that make me a 'depressionista'? What about my dedication to "reduce, reuse, recycle"? Does that mean I can call myself an 'environmentalista'? Can my flatmate call himself an 'environmentalisto'?

    It's the suffix that keeps on giving!

    I haaaaaaate that Target commercial with the three "frugalistas." It's like, yeah, these women are sort of poor, but they actually care about how they look! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!! It could not be any more patronizing.

    It's too bad I trademarked, "I-can't-afford-to-buy-shitnista...". It's too long to put on a shirt. What a fool I was.

    I don't give a shit what you call it, I've been one since the Great College Credit Card Debacle of 1990. Lesson learned and learned well. Put my 31% savings rate in your pipe and smoke it, Natalie.

    Please tell me that shirt isn't real. How is purchasing a Frugalista shirt in any way frugal?

    Frugalista? It sounds like a new, cheap drink at Starbucks (haha like that will ever happen). Ms. McNeal, you can keep that term.

    @rocknrollunicorn: It's the dregs from the coffee pot blended with the milk that's on the verge of spoiling and pieces of stale pastries! Yum. $3 tall; $3.50 grande; $4 venti.

    This is not as weird as it sounds. The French children's brand Petit Bateau sells to adults too. A 14 is an adult size small, 16=medium and 18=large.
    I buy their knicker shorts in bulk.

    Alright, I admit I was intrigued. What if I could order J. Crew kids clothes at half the price of the adult? So I checked out the size charts and it's a possibility for me although I wonder if they account for boobs, torsos, etc with a "Big Girls" 16. Then I looked at their crewcut selection. Good god! There isn't much of a price difference, $138 for the schoolgirl blazer and they sell cashmere sweaters for kids! Obviously, I had a very different childhood. I guess I'll stick with cheap adult clothes.

    It's an awesome status symbol, though! Not only can you afford designer clothes, you're skinny enough to wear baby clothes.
