Beyond UGGly

Yes, I am devoting a post to these ridiculous excuses for footwear, which have been erroneously construed as fashionable and functional. I am sorry, but I just could not continue this blog without expressing my feelings about these ugglies. In fact, that-- ugglies-- is how I will refer to Ugg boots from this day forward. So here it is, my presentation of the shoes that are so greatly fulfilling to poke fun at when seen on the feet of money-wasting fad followers (sorry to all of my friends who wear these. We all follow a fad every now and again right?). Here it goes:

talk about useless...and ugly!
Really????? We're wearing boots with bathing suits on beaches? Need I further comment?
It appears that ugglies tried to pull off grown and sexy...doesn't appear to have worked, since they're still ugly...I'm just sayin'

jumbo ugglies...with print! we have moved beyond ugly to tacky...
Along with whatever animal whose fur is on these boots, someone, please, just shoot me.

I realize that ugglies are meant to be ugly, so please do not make that comment, because it will be in vain. Anyway, so if these are meant to make some kind of ridiculous fashion statement, okay. Fine. However, I have heard so many stories of wet feet in boots that cost hundreds of dollars. Will someone please explain to me why a Michigan resident would waste that much money on boots that are not even functional? Please! Plus, THEY'RE UGLY! I mean, so are Northface jackets, but at least they keep people warm and dry.

Okay, I'm done. This has been another rant à la vie d'Erin.
