#3 reminds me of Laura's (the adorable, happy one from ANTM) outfit that her grandma made for her that the judge's all made fun of her for. Anyone else? I'm thinking Grandma Wanda Sue is pretty fashion forward.
If I had legs like Zellweger, I would rock those minis all the time. As for the Miu-Miu, it doesn't do it for me. Your Addams Family reference was excellent.
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!
@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.
@megnificent: I was not, but now, thanks to Mr. Google, I am! My, my. I still think that makeup will come first, but hey, utility kilts! Because: Why not?
"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.
@morninggloria: That's because you're a rube. I dream I am Katie Holmes shooting a Miu Miu ad. And then Tom comes in in my same outfit and... well, it kind of goes downhill form there.

They are so stunning. So chic.

I now know what I want for Hanukkah: swallow platforms.

I would totally buy them for my husband to wear to work if we lived in a more liberal part of the country.
