Well,
Ugg boots are not in any danger from the Trades Description Act, are they?If there's one thing in favour of the world's most hideous boots (and there is only one thing), it is the breathtaking honesty of the manufacturer.In Australia, where they were invented, 'Ugg boot' appears in the dictionary with a little footnote: "Derivation: ugly."This week it was revealed that so many pairs of
Ugg boots are still flying off the shelves that stores regularly sell out.There's certainly something quite magical about the
Ugg boots - and I mean that in a literal sense. It has an unexplainable power to change the world.With a wave of the wand, it can instantly transform the prettiest woman in the slinkiest skirt or clingiest jeans into a clomping elephant barging across the savannah.It can miraculously unite chic and chav, two tribes who would normally want nothing to do with each other (except when they bump into each other in the tattooist's queue).Is there any less dainty way to finish off an outfit?The
Ugg boots problem is fundamental. Sheepskin. It may be hardwearing and warm, but ask any bloke of a certain age what sheepskin says to him and I'm afraid you won't like the answer.It transports us back to the freezing cold football terraces of the 1970s - a world of mullet haircuts, ludicrous sideburns and nasty meat pies.And who is at the centre of this vision of Valhalla? A sheepskin-clad John Motson. Some fashion icon, ladies.Sheep are, of course, renowned for more than their skins. They are best known for brainlessly following the creature in front.This is probably why my lips curl up into a cruel smile when I read that no sooner have a few paparazzi pictures appeared of Jennifer Aniston, Kate Moss and Eva Longoria wearing their treasured sheepskin boots than thousands of women have stripped the shelves bare of the ghastly things.(To be continued...)
They're hot, smelly and bad for your feet so why are Ugg boots so popular--1
Thank You!
