What do you think of Ugg boots?

[Chimpy McCokespoon]

I like it when I see somebody wearing them at a beach resort in the summer, like they just jumped off a fucking ski lift.

1. Ugg about sums it up.

[GRLMGC]

2. I used to think they were the ugliest things ever

I'm sure they're comfortable and all, but they aren't aesthetically pleasing. Wearing them with mini-skirts or booty shorts is just wrong. That being said, I guess I've become desensitized to them because I really don't notice them anymore.

3. I have a pair I wear in the winter

and they are incredibly comfortable and warm. When birkenstock season ends it's time to pull out the Uggs.

4. They're not my thing.

I like sleeker-looking boots.

:-)

[Shine]

5. I wear mine around the house all the time, esp. in the winter

:hi:

[AZBlue]

6. I think of the poor sheep that were abused to make them.

They are made from sheepskin. SKIN.

7. Aren't they supposed to be going out of style soon?

Like prairie skirts.

[TimeChaser]

8. Perfect for crossing campus on snowy winter days.

Stylish? No. Comfy? Fuck yeah.

9. They were the "it" thing a few seasons ago.

but I, and those who keep up with the fashion trends, feel as though the trend has either stalled or died. Karl Lagerfeld brought them out en mass with Chanel in his Spring 2006 Haute Couture show and I've seen them in many other shows around the same period, but you won't find them in many of the 2007-08 shows.

I haven't seen many so far this year but I'm sure once the colder weather comes, you'll see more people wearing them.

10. I always wonder what happened to the rest of the "Yeti" costume. n/t

[Skittles]

11. here's what I think

:puke:

[QueenOfCalifornia]

12. If I had to wear them

I would rather cut off my feet.

Villagers!!!!!!

[sarge43]

13. I love mine

Warm, light weight, just the thing for a NH wintah.

As a fashion statement - :wtf:

[Midlodemocrat]

14. Well, I'd tell you my opinion, but you're eating granite.

[Quantess]

15. Wow! Wonder what he did?

It couldn't have been because of this thread. Anyone know?

[Gormy Cuss]

16. It was a firestorm.

Coke and open flames are a bad combo.

[Midlodemocrat]

17. .

:rofl:

[Connonym]

19. yeah didn't Richard Pryor learned that lesson the hard way

may he RIP (Pryor I mean)

[Gormy Cuss]

22. I miss Pryor.

His insight on the current state of affairs would have been so good.

[Quantess]

20. Probably this thread.

21. I wish I knew what he said that was so bad

:D

[Midlodemocrat]

23. Essentially stating that those losing their homes in the fires

deserve it. He was quite witty, that one. Well, half right.

[DS1]

25. I meant in reply to my picture

;-)

[Midlodemocrat]

26. Oh, sorry. Missed that.

[Quantess]

24. Here's a really thoughtful bit of his wisdom:
