I don’t understand fashion at all.

I’m not afraid to admit it.

winter comes to LA

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

It’s getting “cold” in Los Angeles. Well, for everyone but them:

Who needs the weather channel anymore? You can tell when the temperature drops because the sandals turn to Uggs.

I understand that it’s dropped to a chilly 64 degrees here in Los Angeles and we should all take refuge inside until March, but why is that […]

fighting the futile fight

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

A few months ago I tried to educate Los Angeles about the stupidity of this trend. I provided photographic evidence that this is flattering to no one. I have spent hours documenting the sequelae of bad footwear choices.

I have fought the hard fight. I’ve given it all I have. This just won’t end. Have I […]

the cute-comfort relationship

Yes, those shoes really hurt. They hurt so much that she had a bunch of band-aids in her purse for her blisters. Yet she continued to wear them. Why? It it worth enduring the pain to fit into those shoes? Where do we draw the line?

hot of all trades

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007

I would classify this outfit as officewear meets 19th century corset meets demin skirt (which met scissors) meets arctic polar bear. Sometimes I think if you’re really attractive, you have to dress all stupid and goofy to prevent people from fainting at the mere sight of your perfection. Instead you can baffle them with your […]

it began with my admiration of the little tail

Saturday, March 24th, 2007

Then I followed the ensemble down to find man-uggs with shorts. Part of me admires him for blurring the gender lines and allowing the Uggs to enhance his knee caps; this is certainly a move toward equality and fashion unity. But then I started to wonder what thought process went into this. Did he put […]

fashion trend ignorance

Saturday, March 10th, 2007

It’s not so much that I don’t like camo or Uggs…

…it’s just that both of them have been in existence for at least 20 years now, so WHY have they both suddenly exploded? Who is in charge of this? If people really liked the look of Uggs or camo, why didn’t they wear them 10 […]

there are scalped American Girl Dolls walking around somewhere

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

They were sacrificed to make this 4 year old’s boots. I am hoping that despite being severed from their American Girl Doll bodies, they can still preserve some dignity and joy and be accepted at the American Girl Doll hair salon to be primped and styled.

If this precious opportunity has been stripped so mercilessly from […]

the Yeti poachers are at it again

Sunday, February 11th, 2007

It seems with WWF and Animal Planet and all, there would be more awareness about the killing of endangered legendary animals for the purpose of stupid footwear. I may not have a huge voice, but I have one, so people hear my message! Let the Yeti live! Let it scare north pole elves and reindeer […]
