I absolutely love my Uggs and you can pry them from my cold, dead feet.

I didn’t even know they existed until they became trendy, but I bought a pair and I love them! I wear them during the 105 degree summer (keep your feet cool, strangely) and in the cool, CA winter ;-).

Then again, I DO NOT tuck my jeans into them, I don’t rock them with skirts/shorts (ok, a couple times, but I was just running to the store…I swear!).

As far as the girl in the OP- does she also have a fake Louis Vuitton purse? Because that would seriously justify a good slappin’.

Hey, where’s her trucker hat and micro-skirt?

If she’s got both, give her a nice backhand on my behalf.

However, she was right about the perfume. A bottle should last you 3, maybe 4 days tops. If I can’t smell ya comin’, you ain’t doing something right.

I couldn’t wear real bunny boots, but warm and walking on clouds? Oh, that sounds like heaven-are UGGs expensive?

To tell you the truth, I don’t really know, both pairs I’ve owned were gifts. One pair were shoes, and I wore them completely out. The other pair are slippers with a nice solid sole, great for those freezing nightly trips out of doors with shoespsychopup and a baggie.

I’ll bet the Ugg site would say though. But don’t knock the bunny boots, them’s fightin’ words for we far northerners :D, they’re good to something like 80 below zero (F). I wore mine on the North Slope and LOVED them. Ugly, but saved my toes in way way below zero weather. I wish I still had them, they quit making the original genuine military ones sometime in the early 90s, but I think they started making subsitutes sometime after that.

Anyway, in case someone hadn’t already done it, here’s a link to the Ugg site.

I have the Ugg “roo” slippers which it looks like they’re $75, and I used to have a pair of lace up type loafers which I don’t see here, but are about the same height as the Roos, so are probably comparable. The higher topped boots look to be more expensive, but my best friend’s mom, the lady that gave me my Uggs, SWEARS by them even for snowmachining in super cold weather.

Back in my day, we called those things “moon boots.”

I read that too fast and saw “moron boots.” Which seems totally appropriate.

@DiosaBellissima

I’m even less likely to touch those things if they’re on dead feet.

[sturmhauke]

Besides being Ugglier than assholes, I don’t see how anyone can wear those things in non-icy weather. If I wore something like that you would all be able to smell my feet, wherever you are.

[Scissorjack]

Does she wear blue eyeshadow? Because you can never wear too much blue eyeshadow.

[Shirley_Ujest]

@MelCthefirst

Exactly - coming from the country that invented and wore these things way back when they weren’t trendy - they were never meant to be fashion items, they were slippers for the winter time.

It’s backwards thinking like this that is the reason why New Zealand is a third world country. Prepare to be invaded to save yourselves from yourselves, you heathen!

Yes, you’re quite right.

Wait, you were being sarcastic? Damn. I must be a fashion ignoramus. (Actually I regularly look like a time-traveler from a New Wave video.)

@Guinastasia

Back in my day, we called those things “moon boots.” They do look comfy, though-like fleece lined slippers. (Are they like winter boots?)

Oh, man… I read that and thought “oh, those”. I feel old

@CanvasShoes

I wear them, I didn’t know that they were supposed to be stylish though. Silly me, I thought that they were to keep my feet warm.

I am in college. 99% of my daily interaction is with people 18-22, including sorority girls who rock those boots with miniskirts & trucker hats, or with their pants tucked into the boots, in all types of weather. It is/was most assuredly a trend with the 18-22 crowd.

Totally - I’m not in school, but I live about halfway between the T stops for Boston University and Boston College, so I see quite a lot of them. It’s a very easy way to tell the college students from the recent graduates.

I’m sure they are quite useful for walking around in Boston winters, especially this winter, but if you’re wearing them with a mini-skirt, I doubt they’re doing you much good.

I really need to learn to perview sometimes. By this I mean the wearing of Uggs drops dramatically once you graduate from college and realize that wearing Uggs and a flowy skirt to an interview isn’t usually the best idea.

@GorillaMan

Errrm…audio books are kinda handy for people with poor eyesight. Would you complain about Cliff Notes in braille?

I know there are good uses for 'em, I’m just kidding around here. Still, seems like the kind of thing George Costanza would be all over (as long as the reader doesn’t sound like him).

Just a note, when I put a homestar reference in one of my posts, I usually hotlink the relevant phrase to the relevant part of the Homestar Runner Wiki.

See, this is where those dangling participles can really get you in trouble.

[sturmhauke]

How about a lesson for the grammar impaired? I don’t know what you mean.

[lisacurl]

The phrase “Besides being Ugglier than assholes” is modifying the “I” in that sentence, implying that you are uglier than assholes.

[LouisB]

The girl in the OP sounds like a prime candidate for the Jerry Springer Show.

[Taters]

@AwSnappity

I never understood how Uggs were in style in the first place. “It would be so hot if my feet looked like muppet feet, and if the seams were sewn outward instead of in like they’re supposed to be, and also if I wore my pants tucked into the boots so that everyone can see that yes, I have big clunky muppet feet and I’m proud of them!”

Oh geeze! I thought I was the ONLY one who felt this way. It’s good to see others have taste too…

K’ carry on w/the topic at hand…
