That puts the UGG in UGGly!

**Preface**
The fashion right now seems to be Skinny Jeans - which the style network is telling me are out, and maternity shirts. Last night Benji brought this to my attention, when most of the girls were wearing these tiny stick leg jeans and a shirt that looked like a very fashion forward pregnant woman would wear. The icing on the cake... the insurmountable numbers of UGGly boots worn on the outside of said pants.

Welcome the Ugg boot - why can't you just walk away.



Man wouldn't it suck to be UGGly all the time? I've got the makings right in my name and it's time that people just let me rest. I'm tired of being picked on, I'm tired of being the butt of most shoe jokes, and above all I'm tired of being the average, the norm as it were.

Yeah, I'm lined with Sherpa and I'm an Aussie, but that's really not a good cause to be worn on the outside of crappy pants with every turn. I know that I'm warm, and if worn properly won't get so much flack, but these girls just don't get it.

In 2002 I was all the rage, hip and new and proud to be such, but now... my style is just outdated but no one seems to care. All summer long I sit in the back of the closet with most other cold weather shoes and even the Duck boots get a giggle out of the fact that I'm worn poorly for functionality and fashion. I mean I'm not named a Duck boot for gods sake, and still it's funny. They are upper crust bastards those Duck boots, come from Maine and all, but it's not a nice thing to say "U-G-G-L-Y, you ain't got no alibi. You Uggly, yeah... you Uggly." Cute, really, cute! Well at least I'm not associated with a Mallard.



What happened to the days where a nice boot cut jean pulled snuggly around my ankles, paired with a nice sweater or shirt was good. I keep feet warm, I keep the elements out of socks, and I have fantastic tread, but now every time someone sees me worn over leggings and pants they groan and say "Still?" or "Oh, she tried." Her ship sailed and she didn't even know it.

It's sad that now I am the 70's. A fashion era that has died and been resurrected only to fail at it. I fail at life. No, I Phail at life. Ohhh, to be an Ugg boot.
