“A General Universal Recognition of the Ugliness”, Shanghai

2011 February 22

Sick of Uggs and, more so, of Fuggs. I think of coprophagous animals when i think of them. All of it makes me want to do some projectile vomiting, just like the time I did into a trash can that was conveniently located one step down from my seat in econometrics class, inconveniently located about 2.5 feet from the head of a poor sleep deprived fella innocently trying to catch up on some zzz’s.  Subsequently, I never had another class before 11 a.m. for the remainder of my college days.  But I digress.

Some common coprophagous animals include cats, flies, beetles, chinchillas, behavioral problematic prone beagles, and less commonly in humans, all of which I don’t really like that much.  This is why I freak out when touched by a fly, NOT because I’m a pansy.

Btw, thinking and writing about coprophagous animals while eating soup dumplings = best diet ever.

With that said, this girl is simply adorable. Her quirky poka dot lined coat with sleeves slightly too short (my new obsession) combined with a print scarf and checkered boyfriend shirt are very true to her personal style.  I just wish she didn’t coprophagic with those shoes.

This is what happens when I drink too much milk tea.

Additionals:

Define Coprophagous, and add to favorites.

Fuggs.

Another really great scarf

I would have died (of happiness) if she wore these instead. I don’t care that they are indoor shoes.

The Ugly Truth, etc.

    I’d also never heard of Sorel boots, but thanks to Google, I now know that they rival Uggs for, well, ugliness.

    i wonder who came up with the name “uggs”? i mean, is it intentionally ironic? is there some master designer out there laughing at all the poor fools (s)he has conned into donning the ugliest feet covers ever invented?

    Soon there will be REALLY REALLY ugly shoes that tromp Uggs and Sorels. They’re going to be called “Barff,” double eff. (double entendre)

    It’s going to be the new rage.
