Ugg-ly UGG

"U-G-L-Y, You ain't got no alibi"

As a child, I was naive enough to have thought that people who lives in London and New York City are inherently fashionable. Either I was living in my own bubble (controlled by American cartoons) or UGGs have super powers to override most peoples' sense of fashion. And common sense.


Just a few days ago in Manhattan, there was a queue infront of the UGG store with velvet ropes and all. It wasn't a short line that could be mistaken as shoppers taking a smoke break outside of the UGG store. It was a twenty plus line with dividers and crowd controllers.

These less than fashionable boots have been popular for more than five years, yet there are still strong base of  advocate supporters around the world. (They are everywhere in Vancouver and London! It's ridiculous!) The continual influx of customers and copy-cat brands would make sense if these shoes were even remotely flattering or attractive, but they aren't!


Flattering? I think not. The only homo sapiens who look good (subjectively and relatively speaking) are those four and under, only because every lil tink is cute.


Not even sparkles and sequins can save UGGs. Not even when paired with a 'non-jean outfit'.


Worse of all? My brother gave me a pair of them for the holidays D:
