We have both the Crocs and the mini-skirt-Uggs combos still milling around in the Midwest. Also we have the cheap flip-flops in the totally inappropriate weather, like thunderstorms and snowfalls. It seems poor fashion choices come here to die, and take their sweet time about it.

So true! I always see them in the store and always wonder who wears them. Fortunately, I still reside in a quaint, yet progressive, college town which still seems to have a sense of class. I have yet to actually see anyone wearing these abominations.

I was just reading another blog that had a similar sentiment about the now so popular skinny jeans.

I still consider myself young at 21! but I have to admit that the skinny jeans do make the girls look like they have clown feet.

As a resident of the Crocs homeland, I thought that I had seen the worst already. That is, until we came across these in Hawaii:

Crocs morphed with deck shoes: from what diseased brain did these spring? The mind boggles.

I’m sure The Manolo is exulting in the shout-out in the famous magazine, but the author should really get with the program…

It’s THE Manolo, and THE Gallery of THE Horrors.

Do these journo-school dropouts not know the correct usage of the English?

The Zarba, he shakes his head in disgust…
