Ay, ay, ay – and not only that, the color of the shirt is most unflattering. And one can *smell* those unwashed jeans merely by looking at the photo. Pfui.

When will people learn that those hideous shoes only look appealing on people under 4′ tall.

what is it with fat women and crocs? It’s like they’re telling the world “I give up”.

My feet itch just looking at her.

Dear Manolo:

You are not alone in your hate for the crocs. This is from today’s Washington Post on-line interview with THE Tim Gunn:

Arlington, Va.:

Tim, In what is, to me, a particularly distressing trend, I have seen many women (and quite a few men) wearing crocs in public. Is this truly acceptable? Is there some sort of fashion clearinghouse which decides on a whim that actions which would normally result in ostracization are instead cool and accepted? Tim, please offer your advice.

Tim Gunn: Ohhhhh… May I respond by merely saying, “I hate crocs. May they please go away.”

The Tim, he truly rocks on crocs.

All I can think of when I see that picture is “Oompa Loompa dupity doo…”

And here we have Rosie O’Donnell, whose amazing acting range and talent *so* surpasses, for example, someone whose biggest (probably only) talent is making fun of other peoples’ shoes. Rosie, wear those crocs with pride as you continue to
stand up in your life the way you are doing. I read your blog every day where you do *not* take shots at other people while hiding under a pseudonym.

JaneB

Jane, Rosie is the woman who said that people who lie get sick and they get cancer. She has earned the ridicule.

My first thought was “Danger, Will Robinson, danger!”

BeckyJ, Rosie apologized contemporaneously for that hysterical comment to the person involved. How that remark to someone else licenses you (and the rest of the world, or just you?) to ridicule Rosie forever shall remain a mystery.

Jane

Anyone who knows they might be photographed and yet appears in public looking like that deserves a certain amound of ridicule. (Just chiming in so I may distance myself from the above “Jane.”)

At least they match her, um, outfit.

Ugly shoes for an ugly person(na)…

I don’t think this is that bad. Of course, I wear my crocs camping & gardening. Maybe Rosie is saying “I need a fern *this* big” to someone at a garden store.

BESIDES. Yesterday, I saw a Croc sin so vile that it defies imagination. Picture an overworn blank knit knee length skirt, worn with a bedraggled blue polar fleece jacket by a lady of a stouter persuasion & middling years. Nothing to fantastic or wrteched. HOWEVER. She had on BLACK pantyhose and (dirty) PALE POWDER BLUE CROCS.

I spent the rest of my bus ride trying to justify this in my imagination. The best I came up with is that her dog ate all of her other shoes & she was forced to head downtown to buy new shoes in the only things she had left – the Crocs which had been in the garden shed, safe from ravening Rover. Or she has no taste & no sense.

Oh my that’s horrible! :(

Neoteny — that’s all – neoteny. There may be gene-based therapies for it now.

I’ll drop a ton of it into the water supply here to stamp out the Crocs in Ontario County, NY.

Doesn’t her head look particularly enormous in that picture?

Kourtney – I’m sorry, I just don’t believe you. My denial is such that I am choosing to believe that your post is a lie, because I do not want to live in a world where people wear CROCS with PANTYHOSE. This canNOT be true.

I would have had to go home and lie down if I had seen that.

Honestly, if everyone here was as good as an investor as you all are shoe critics, you’d be very poor right now. Crocs has been rockin in the stock market (ticker crox). You artsy farts don’t get fashion…at all. Good thing you don’t play in the stock market.

As Chlriae Sheen says, this article is “WINNING!”
