Vivienne, the last time I wore my husband's boxers with my Christmas tablecloth as a shirt, it made my mother cry at dinner. Oh, and I was completely shitfaced. But really, it's a recipe for disaster. As is my Uncle Walt's eggnog recipe. I've said too much.
Oh! And here's a great way to get me REALLY wound up: get me in the same room with someone who thinks Uggs are the height of awesome, but thinks that Docs are icky. I'll be all like "OMG FIGHTING WORDS." Well, no, not really, but I will stay quiet and stare down at my bootlaces and secretly be opinionated. This is because I am shallow and insufferable.
It's immature, and it's horrible of me, and I should really be a better person, and I'm going to lose a lot of friends by saying this, but I bought a pair of Uggs a few years ago and HATED them, and I went sprawling, weeping, tumbling back into the waiting embrace of Dr. Marten.
Why yes Viviene Westwood I think I WILL wear my mans boxer briefs as outerwear. Whats that you ask? Why yes I DO reside in a mental institution, how did you guess?
The UNICEF benefit went swimmingly until the two dolls wearing Christian Lacroix's kicky ensembles got drunk, goosed an underage busboy, and then fell out of their limo. Muttered one, "It's Lacroix, dahling, Lacroix." before she passed out.
@sarah.of.a.lesser.god.prepares.to.welcome.her.new.ovumlord: Ab Fab is all I will ever associate with that man. My goal in life is to become rich enough to act like an asshole in public while wearing his clothing. Luckily, I have a friend who is down for the whole thing.
I don't like the Pussycat Dolls line!! I work at La Senza, and Robin Antin and her entourage came to our store for a signing. She was nice, but the line is ugly!
I still wear Docs. I don't know if I'd buy "special edition" ones, but Docs have been my go-to boots ever since I got my first pair and realized how tough and long-lasting they are.
I always had the knockoffs in high school because the real thing was too expensive. Once I was in college and working, I finally splurged on my first real pair. It has been love ever since.
I had brief flings with Timberlands and Uggs that ended catastrophically. I have a pair of Fluevogs that I like, but they're not quite the same. I LOVE DOCS DAMNIT.
I wore a pair of engineer-boot (OMG BUCKLES) styled zip-on men's Docs this chilly morning, with leggings and a skirt, and I looked badass and I was warm and sure-footed.
Jesus, tscheezus, don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel.
@tscheese: I love Docs, too. I have a pair of boots and a pair of the regular lace-up shoes. Still like 'em with jeans and a chunky sweater on cold days. Sometimes in winter it's just not practical to wear thin little dresses and pumps -- sometimes you just need Docs, dammit.
@Kivrin: I love Docs on cold days too! Maybe I'm just behind-the-times, but I like the solid, dark, curving, authoritative lines of a combat boot much better than the mushy marshmallow-stump hoof of the average Ugg boot.
Most people who wear Uggs wear them for warmth and comfort, not the mushy marshmallow-stump hoof look (though that has its own cachet, I suppose) but I just feel like Docs are a stronger...terminus. For an outfit. I make no sense.
And they're just as warm as my Uggs and more comfortable. (I have messed-up feet. Your mileage may vary.)
@tscheese: I'm trying to decide between Docs or Uggs as my next pair of winter boots...I'm not sure I can take the pain of breaking Docs in, but I hate way Uggs squish to one side if they aren't the right size...
I'm not really sure why PCD thinks that I need an anchor near my vajayjay, but at least they didn't wrap a kerchief around it for the disco or the beach!

Boxer shorts? as outerwear? As anything but roll-out-of-the-sex-bed-for-take-out-wea...? Seriously?

What they don't tell you is that the Pussycat Doll inside is really a fetus-in-fetu, a undeveloped twin existing as a parasitic entity.
