All of the items on sale are of the highest quality: beautiful silk shirts. Versace sweaters, crocodile skin shoes...But what makes these clothes so special is that they belonged to Elton John. He is selling his old clothes to make money for a charily that helps AIDS victims. But even when everything has been sold, his wardrobe will not be empty. Elton John is one of the growing number of 'shopaholics' in Britain. One year he spent £25 million, including £300.000 on flowers and £9 million on property.
It is estimated [hat IS million people in the US suffer from the same problem as Elton John. The technical name for this disorder is 'oniomania' and nine out of ten sufferers arc women.
Psychologists have known about the problem
for a long time. But the opening of more and more shopping centres and the easy availability of credit cards has changed everything. It's often a good idea to try on one or two pairs. There arc now more shopaholics than drink or drug addicts in the UK. Many have serious financial problems, but the condition also results in family break-ups, homclessness and suicide.

Many parents do not have much time to spend with their children. Instead of love and affection, they buy their children expensive presents, and the child associates shopping with security and pleasure.

For others, anti-depressant drugs may help. But the best cure is probably to lake your credit cards out of your wallet and cut them up. Remember: one pair of scissors is enough.
