i have done it

I admit I have taken the piss about UGG boots ever since I came to Australia and I still think they are UGG-ly but after 5 years I have given in – I just bought a pair. Not necessarily as fashion statement or because I suddenly think they look really good but to keep my feet warm while sitting at my Mac the whole day in a house without central heating. Again – only people that have lived it can will understand the magnitude of the problem. 15 degrees is just not cold. Right, I agree but if it is 15 degrees in your study or living room even my tough German friends would consider it cold… Missy Cola explained it quite well on her blog by saying that she opens the windows during the day to get some WARM air in!!!!

So here we go: my new foot-warmers

I also think the UGG boots are the worst worn with a short skirt or at 25 degrees… And while I asked Mr. Google to find me a picture like that I came across this article… Very funny!

Several illnesses were reported across the U.S. this month including the Ugg Boots Virus (UBV), Chihuahua Owner Disease (COD), and Oversized Sunglesses Syndrome (OSS). Though many of them are well-known issues that began early in the decade and have begun to trail off, the Ugg Boots Virus continues to reign terror on the nation and is approaching alarming levels. Experts are now urging friends and families to do everything they can to prevent the virus from further outbreaks.
Last year, 6,527,220 new Ugg Boots Virus cases were reported. Many of these cases involved repeat victims who were unable to change their stale fashions in time to prevent contracting the virus again. Even more alarming is that many of the new cases reported contain a transformed version of the virus that has helped speed the spread the virus. This new string has been linked back to Wal-Mart, Kohl’s, and Target which has allowed new classes of Americans to contract the virus — not just trophy wives at upscale shops.

I think I might have caught the OSS ages ago but luckily never had the COD!

   “only people that have lived it can will understand the magnitude of the problem” – so true!
   your new uggs are cool! i have never seen those with the “benzel” on the side. cool!
   i also was one of those saying i will never wear those uggly things…but when you’re freezing to death beauty is the least important. =) i gave in after about six years…now i own a pair and i could bite my a$$ why i haven’t had them earlier. never had such warm and comfortable feet. and you wear them WITHOUT socks.
