"A part of me wants to say yes because not all of us can afford the, uh...whole glitz and glam bullshit." Seriously, some of these looks had to have cost thousands, an amount that made Nova physically sick to consider spending on any outfit, let alone one that would be worn once before being tossed into the back of a closet. "But something else tells me that some of the people around here have outfit-rememberer vibes and no one wants to deal with that."
