uggsIs there a better way to describe what Uggs look like than "elephant feet"? Let's take a shotsies, shall we?

  • Fat Pillow Walkers
  • Cotton Candy wraparounds
  • Diabetic Puppets
  • Cloudfoot Clompers
  • Teddybear Sneakers (credit my sister for that one)

At some point in the aughts, girls (and some fearless dudes) decided that the best way to cope with winter weather was zip up a glimmering down jacket, strap on some dark leggings, and step into a pair of Uggs, the Australian-imported, shearling-lined boots whose name speaks for itself ('cuz they ugg-ly as sin).

Neither rain nor sleet nor snow can get in the way of those gals who, come November, spend the next half-dozen months or so dangling an oversized designer bag from their inner elbows, balancing a Venti latte in the other while managing to walk and text without bumping into oncoming pedestrian traffic (or, y'know, unapologetically bumping into oncoming pedestrian traffic).

Finally, however, there's a cure for Ugg addiction, and it will not cure cervical cancer. But, whatever -- baby steps, right?
