One Middle School Makes the Brave Decision to Ban Uggs

Cassie Murdoch — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 20:00:00 EST

Starting tomorrow, students at Pottstown Middle School in Pennsylvania won't be allowed to come to school wearing their Uggs (or any fuzzy, open-top boots, for that matter). No, the boots have not been banned because they cause sluttiness, and it's not by order of the fashion police either. The school has forbidden them because they're a popular place for students to hide their phones, which they're not supposed to have in class. More »

These Boots Were Made For Talkin'

Dodai Stewart — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 13:20:00 EST

Black and white do make gray. The boot also has a "high shaft." *Cough.* And "decorative tonal stitching curves along the height of the shaft." Say shaft again. The description also mentions the "snug fitting zipper shaft." Gah. Having the words "Obama" and "snug" and "zipper" and "shaft" in the same sentence just ain't right. [BlackBook, Coclico] More »
