November 2008

For my birthday my husband got me these, because I may have begged mentioned it once or hundred times twice that I actually NEEDED them. When the weather turns cold in Southern California (ya, know like below 60 degrees), and the flip flops are no longer working for you, the only other option is a good pair of Uggs. Uggs have been worn by surfers and snow boarders for close to 30 years now. And are the footwear of choice for the winter in the OC. And these slouchy Uggs are the latest and greatest for the season…and well, I not only NEEDED them, I wanted them. BADLY. Since I got them (thank you Black Friday) I have all but slept in them. (I did take them off before I went to church this weekend, since even though I am pretty sure Jesus, they make for men too, would be sporting a pair of mind blowing comfortable shearling lined Uggs if he could, they might be seen as inappropriate to the church elders. I went with a small ballet flat. Everyone seemed pleased with that choice.) I have not been able to get over how FAMILIAR they look and feel. Until it occurred to me that I spent a very good portion of my early life as a dancer and pretty much lived in LEG WARMERS…and well these new slouchy Uggs are basically leg warmers attached to a slipper. And you know what? I couldn’t be happier. Maybe I will wear them to church next week….maybe start a trend. We will call it ‘the Jesus Boot Movement’. Maybe Uggs could sponsor me with pairs for the Elders. This could be big people.

*As usual, The Association was not paid to promote or endorse this product in anyway. Because I can’t be bought. But I can be thanked. So Uggs, if you are reading- how bought sending me a pair or 10 to make my day give away ? Come on. Do it for Jesus.
