Uggs, Lugz, and Thugs
Let me start by saying that I am in no way racist or chauvinist. That being said, I think it is about time we address the growing pandemic of poor footwear selection for today's African American female population.
A friend of mine recently noticed that most women have some strange ideas for foot fashion. He noted that it seems to plague minorities worse.
Just go to any Payless, Famous Footwear, Nine West, Bostonian, or any other female-friendly retailer and you'll see the sad state of affairs that feet are reduced to. Look at the enclosed examples of current boot samplings.
We have, from left: Fur, Scottish Cheerleaders, a Space-Suit, a Pump-Boot Lovechild (Poot? Bump? How about Poop?), and a Medieval Foot Corset.
I saw an example of this accessory abuse today, when an attractive woman dressed in a conservative and very professional suit walked off the elevator with a high-heeled version of the furry guy. What made her think this looks good? The suit was black and the fur was well. . . fur colored in the beige variety.
Ladies, I implore you to leave the experimentation to the truly helpless: modern celebrities. They do it in the name of bad publicity, see www.gofugyourself.com. What is your excuse? Your feet are with you your entire life, hoisting up varying levels of ever-increasing weight. This is a sorry role in the universe as it is. Why add insult to injury in the form of an unengaging though very enraging Furry Poot?
