On the way in, I was following this skinny woman who was wearing fashionably ugly little booties something like this:
She wasn't doing well. I had serious big fear because she was slipping and teetering so badly. Her poor ankles were wobbly and her calf muscles were bulging from the effort of keeping herself upright.
I thought she was going to go down any minute, and not in a good way.
I got abreast of her and glanced over: "she" was a guy in drag.
Bad long stringy wig, too much makeup, guy face, adam's apple, white blouse, short skirt, booties.
Look - dress, or cross-dress however you want. If a dude wants to feel pretty and strut the mall in a pencil skirt, that's all right by me.
What I DO find offensive is the shoes, people. The shoes. Here's my advice to the sisters: If you can't walk it, you can't rock it.
No kidding. Woman or man, wear sensible shoes!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter and i saw these exact boots trying to cross the street yesterday. I thought i might have to run out there and pick that woman up off the pavement.
ReplyDeleteWhy the hell would anyone wear those things? I don't get it. Ugly and treacherous.
Whoever said "if high heels are so great why don't men wear them?" had obviously never heard of cross-dressers!
ReplyDeletei do not understand the whole concept of the bootlet. man, they are UGLY.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I feel like the Fonz is about to pop out of these shoes and deliver his signature catchphrase?
ReplyDeleteWhat those booties need are a good pair of fleece pants with a stretchy banded waist and a faux fly. Otherwise, they just look stupid.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of boots with peep-toes seems to be an oxymoron.
ReplyDelete- aunt snow
Yeah, those shoes are gross no matter who wears them!
ReplyDelete@flurrious - LOL!!
ReplyDeletewhen I worked at Nordstrom, the open toed bootie thing was just getting started and a lady came in to buy a pair. FOR HER 11 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER.
ReplyDeleteOh hayull no. I told her they didn't come in her size. she said she wears a size 7. I said, no they start at a size 8. Just, gawd. Way to tart your kid.
best closing line ever.
ReplyDeletemight be reconsidering some heeled blogher shoes that i was going to pack. nothing like those monsters though.
I think those shoes are ugly, and I don't understand why anyone, man or woman, would want to wear them. I see them, but man, they cut your legs off and make them look short. Who wants short legs?
