I haven't kept it a secret that I sometims feel the same way, like she is somewhat a shadow of what she used to be a couple years ago. I think it's the need to keep in the mainstream spotlight that makes her exude the need to "keep it up" and we as fans can sense that it isn't always as enjoyable for her to dress up as it used to be. I still love Dita and always will but I do wish she would not feel the need to wear every single designer label and wear what she truly enjoys wearing. It's starting to look more like a job to her the fact that she goes to every single event and the only part of her that's the same is the hair and makeup. I know a lot of people will think I'm a sourpuss for saying and I apologize to those of you who think I'm bringing a fan posting down by saying it. I've noticed that when I do say anything besides "lovely dress" it's ignored so I just hope I'm not offending.
I don't think she minds being the public's fetish, I just don't think it seems as authentic and natural to her anymore or like she's always being true to herself and style.
At the same time, she looked really great in the purple!
