    Uggs are comfortable and good value for money. There is snow here in NYC. What would you like me to wear instead, pray tell? Something less comfortable and warm and more aesthetically pleasing to other women and more sexually attractive to men. Wow. How feministy of you.

    @Diziet_Sma: But don't they get wet in the snow? I mean seriously, the whole "are they attractive" question is a matter over which there is clearly great debate, but everytime I look at them, I just think "Soaking-wet feet." Here in the Greater Chicagoland Area, girls carry them to school, and then switch out of snow boots into their Uggs (or faux Uggs. Maybe real Uggs don't soak through?)

    @ellaesther: Mine are the 'real ones', and I treated them with the recommended waterproof spray, once, when I first bought them five years ago. They have stayed waterproof (in snow) ever since. They are thick sheepskin, too, and sheep don't tend to get waterlogged!

    @Diziet_Sma: Now THAT is an excellent point. Sheep do not, in fact, get waterlogged! In fact, the very idea of it is making me smile.


    I say: Wear Uggs, Diziet_Sma, and rock on with your bad self.

    @ellaesther: You spray them down with their squede-spray stuff. Then they're waterproof enough for snow and awesome! (though, you have to actually read the ugg care insert to know that)

    I cannot believe this but my auto mechanic husband who, poor dear, stands on his feet all day and has bad feet because of it has discovered that Crocs are the answer. I hate to begrudge him comfort but I just don't understand how rubber shoes can be the answer to anything!

    @Buenavista: If you can afford it, try to tempt him with Keens. I have plantar fasciitis, and the wrong shoe can, in twenty minutes, make my foot a misery for hours -- and I finally broke down and bought Keens (rather than moving my orthodics around from shoe to shoe to shoe) and man oh man oh man alive. I LOVE them. And they look cool, too.

    I've been saying it for years: By the time my son is in high school (five more years), straight boys will be wearing make-up. Maybe not all boys, maybe not all over, but it won't just be Pete Wentz. Because that's the next line for them to cross, other than skirts, and skirts really don't offer them much.

    @ellaesther: My ex wore skirts, he said they were comfy. The first time I saw him in a skirt he was recovering from knee surgery and looked all skinny and Michael Stipe-ish. Then two male friends helped feed his sartorial obsession. A buddy from the UAE gave him a linen man-dress, and a Somalian friend started giving him man skirts from the desert lands... We were told they were called Maowasses or something like that (look, I can pronounce it; I just have NO CLUE how to spell it).


    I don't see the appeal, but I am maybe not the best judge. There is a period of my life, about 20 years long, in which I would NOT wear a skirt. I'm getting over it. I've been much more enthusiastic about makeup, so I can see teen boys going there first, for sure.

    "Dreamy" Miu Miu ads, KatieKate HolmesCruise? When I dream, I don't imagine laying around languidly in firelight, I dream that a giant monster is stomping down Clark Street and I am eating a hotdog made of quarters and suddenly, my 8th grade Spanish teacher (who is dressed like a Storm Trooper) flies overhead with giant purple wings.

    Also, why is it so weird for men to put on some damn moisturizer? If a man's toenails are jagged and too long, it's not un-manly if he clips them. If a man's face is dirty, it's not un-manly if he washes it. Why does moisturizer have to be this "OH MY GAWWWWD YOU HAVE LIKE QUESTIONABLE SEXUALITYYYY" if a man uses it? It's just another personal care item.


    Are all men supposed to suffer through every dry winter with scaly-ass skin, lest they be labeled as catamites or something? Like, really? Moisturizer has to be gussied up as this BRUTALLY BRUSQUE HETERONORMATIVE THING!11 in order to get men to use it?

    @tscheese: I've never understood why it's considered so unmanly to take care of yourself. And I honestly think that's what this boils down to, because many guys I know won't see a doctor if they've been seriously injured because it's somehow not "manly" if they seek out help. If they're not going to get stitches for an open wound, I doubt they're going to buy moisturizer for something as inconsequential as DRY SKIN.


    Maybe if we told them they'd get more sex if they bought it? That's what all the other advertisers do...

    @tscheese: Because straight men, in spite of the fact that they rule the world are (as a group, people, not EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM) the most insecure group of people on the planet. Which is really rich when you think about it, but there it is.

She's kind of amazing. I met her a few years back at an after party during fashion week and I was in awe. And a little scared.
