I don't know if that's true, it's just the impression I've gotten.

No, it's true -- not for all people living here but certainly for a lot. I see it where I work. Everyone looks like a clone of everyone else for the most part between handbags, designer jeans, hair cuts, jewelery, etc. but then again, I have to remember that in that particular area, it's a bunch of wealthy people with nothing to do with their money and time but spend it getting services and using their credit in designer shops. Then you have people that adopt their own unique style, etc. It varies depending on the area. We have total rednecks here (they're called "pinies" because they live in the Pine Barrens) then you have the yuppies and the hippies, and so on. I like to look nice when I go out (and if that's "classy," so be it) but I certainly don't think that makes me a snob
