fugly boots

Dearest Gentlelady:

I am going to pretend you are not wearing DayGlo leggings with an over-sized red leather jacket. After all, it is fall, and the holidays will be here soon — so I need to start thinking about all the things I have to be thankful for, including the right to wear whatever the damn hell I want when I venture out into the light of day.

I am, however, going to question your footwear choice. And, no, the fact that these fringed monstrosities match your handbag to the letter will do nothing to save you now.

Kisses,
FB

S:

ashley says i should send this to you: http://yourleggingsarenotpants.tumblr.com. i'm accepting all submissions

N:

LOL

S:

still in its infancy, but i think there's real potential

N:

oh yes. very much so. when this gets turned into a tumblr book deal, i demand a cut

S:

haha ok

N:

i actually talk about this with so many people. i recall talking with swift about it once. he agreed

S:

yeah i mean, apparently people are like, beginning to think its ok. ITS NOT

N:

i understand how when something becomes "trendy," people just do it -- without thinking about how ridic it might look. but this. it's like: don't you feel like your ass is hanging out?

S:

yeah and there have been plenty of things i've come around on

N:

don't you feel like something is missing?

S:

oh yeah

N:

like, your pants?

S:

hahah right. i've also never felt fully covered. like, even going to workout

N:

right!

S:

i think: is this ok?

N:

it's just an odd feeling

S:

yes agreed

N:

and then i see someone else doing it, and i'm like, "oh, oh god no"

S:

yeah what prompted the blog is that i've seen a number of otherwise very well dressed girls, really classy looking, nice tops, cute flats, expensive handbag, and then, with what? leggings? really?

N:

this one lady you've got up there right now. it's like, she thought really hard about that outfit. and really wanted to look cute. but in the end: disaster

S:

yes she has multiple problems going on. i mean, red pants and jacket is daring to begin with

N:

and those boots -- actually, i should start a tumblr about those fugly boots

S:

oh yes. the world is rife with fugly boots

N:

BOOM: http://fuglyboots.tumblr.com. glad i snatched that URL up

S:

yes

N:

you know, before everyone else did

S:

someone had leggingsarenotpants but they weren't using it

N:

i am sitting on like 20 un-utilized tumblrs

S:

god i know. they are like crack

N:

i mostly use them to preview different themes and see how they look

S:

yes

N:

i have a problem

S:

uh huh. i know that problem

N:

someday our tumblr dreams will be realized. until then i'm going to find as many pictures of leggings and fugly boots as possible

S:

great. i'm trying to assemble mine as i see them so that hopefully i'll get caught taking a picture of an offender and shame her into never wearing them again

N:

lol

S:

its a public service, really

N:

this is how you can be the change you want to see in the world

S:

yeah man, change i can believe in
