Putting the UGG in UGLY

Sometimes I read InStyle magazine. Shut up. This isn’t about my shameful pleasures.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the ‘What’s in now’ section in the December issue–just when I thought Ugg boots couldn’t get more ugly, walking blonde jokes Jessica and Ashlee Simpson got their hands on some and decorated them to auction for charity.

…they expect someone to buy these?

The poor kids who are supposed to benefit from this charity are SCREWED.

It looks like Ugg spared no expense, sending the ‘half a brain between them’ sisters BACK IN TIME to get some puff paint and garish nail polish and then passed the whole project off to their kindergarten selves to decorate. I can’t decide if Ashlee’s pictures a dolphin, or is a cruel depiction of someone with hydrocephalus drowning while struggling in vain to reach the end of a rainbow, whilst Judy Garland chokes out “somewhere just short of the rainbow” inbetween cackles of hysterical laughter.

So in addition to not being able to act, or sing, or dance, it’s evident that Ashlee can’t draw, either–is there no end to the things this girl can’t do?

    What I don’t understand is why they went for the URL uggaustralia.com when uggstralia.com is so much better!

      I’m not certain why the proud australians would allow themselves to be so closely associated with the ugliest shoes on the planet. 2nd runner up in the ugly shoe parade are crocs, and the bastard child of crocs and uggs, CRUGGS.

    Don’t worry about the kids of St. Jude – well, no, do, they’re very sick – just not about this being a less-than-stellar bit of fundraising. St. Jude is one of the world’s great fundraising organizations (and also a very good research hospital, which I don’t say just because I have multiple friends and acquaintances working there). They have dozens of much better-conceived events every year, up to and including a PGA golf tournament.

      Perhaps this year the PGA golfers should wear Ugg boots decorated by the ‘stars’.

        That might be enough to get me to go visit friends whose offices overlook the golf course.

          I also think they should wear viking helmets, and be required to throw any one club from their bag away as hard as they can (not allowed to retrieve it until after the whole game is done) after a bad shot. I might *pay* to watch the game then.

    those are hideous.

      I would say those are the perfect shoes to wear if you’re going to clean out a barn–odds are, no matter what you step in, they’ll look better when you leave than when you went in.

    Haha, that was my first reaction too – “what random third-grader decorated those?”

    And there’s no shame reading InStyle. I surf PerezHilton.com and TMZ.com when I think no one’s watching..

      I feel like in honor of this post, I should decorate some shoes and auction them on ebay for an as-of-yet-to-be-determined charity. Surely I couldn’t do WORSE.

    I think that it’s wonderful that Ugg is offering jobs to the differently abled.

    1. admin November 21, 2007 at 9:20 pm

      *bzzzt* That statement implies that she’s acually able to do…oh wait I see what you did there.
