(Yes, I know it’s the 31st. I have limited internet access tomorrow and am posting early.)
All right, nerds, I’m bored. I’ve had to cut down my blog posts here, at least temporarily, because of all my coursework this semester. So, I’m officiating our first De-Lurking Day!
I know there are a ton of you that read these posts and choose not to comment. Instead, a lot of you ‘lurkers’ send me emails with funny pictures and political!wtfery and requests for help with your clothes, which I love. Trust me. I love hearing from you.
But today, you’re going to reply to a post. And you’re going to like it. 😀
So, to all my lurkers, and all my normal posters, too, sound off in the comments. This is going to be a first-of-the-month thing, so get used to it. Every 1st, I’ll be posting some funny prompt or question for you to reply to, and it’ll be ever so much fun and we’ll probably tell our grandchildren about it when we’re old. Well, you guys will tell your grandkids. I’ll probably just tell my plants. My dead plants.
(My plants always die. 😦 It’s so tragic.I just kind of forget that they exist, and they don’t deal well with that.)
De-Lurk September Prompt: Go to one of the online stores you regularly shop at (ex: Anthropologie, Nordstrom, Target, Forever21, an Etsy boutique, Ann Taylor, Old Navy, whatever!) and post a link to the UGLIEST pair of shoes you can find there. And then tell me why you think they’re heinous and need to be set on fire and thrown at insert!politician!or!public!figure!here’s face.
And…go, team, go!
😀
(I fully expect Laura McLaura to come here and be like THROWING FIRE SHOES AT SOMEONE IS ASSAULT EVEN IF THEY DUCK. I HOPE THE BAR ASSOCIATION DENIES YOUR ASS FOR MEMBERSHIP AND SLAPS YOUR MOTHER IN THE FACE. Heh. These are the people you’ll have to deal with if you ever go to law school, dear readers.)
Polyvore made this pretty easy.

Not only do I find them hideous, I’m pretty sure it’d be impossible for me to walk in any of them. So the best use is for them to be thrown at people.
i’m not sure if the green ones are women’s boots or chewbacca’s face

What ARE they? Cage sandals without the cage? slouchy? Peep toes? stacked? STUDDED? MAKE UP YOUR DAMN FOOL MIND.
I saw a girl on the way to school (outside the W hotel they just build next door, which has completely changed the neighborhood- anyway, she looked like the ultra-trendy person the W cultivates as their preferred patron) wearing something much like what you posted, Huma, BUT THE ANKLE WARMER BIT WAS KNIT. It was SO FUCKING UGLY. I can’t even say.

Probably not the worst out there, but bad enough.
I like this delurk day business, I’ve been reading your blog for a while but rarely have the time to comment on anything on the internets what with the law skool and all. Keep up the awesomeness!
*waves* I don’t comment here often, but since I always comment on twitter I’m not sure if that makes me a lurker or not. This was too fun not to play anyway.

FUG!!
Iam here !! reading your blog every single day or whenever updated. Dont have time to look for hideous shoes though…oh well. Huma wont get mad at me…
What in the crap is up with those freaking high-topped flipflops? They’re like a mini-stirrup with a toe-thong… ALL THINGS THAT SHOULD NEVER BE COMBINED.
I keep seeing people wear them and I want to say “Pardon me, miss, but even Giselle cannot pull off those shoes. And you, my dear, are no Giselle. Even though she’s crazy and thinks her 6-month-old is potty trained and wants an international law (wtf! who makes international law?) requiring people to breastfeed even if they cannot.” In other news, my dad wanted to name me Giselle when he and my mom were talking about baby names. That or Electra. My mom vetoed those options very quickly.
As far as ugly shoes- SO SO SO MANY. Why do peep-toe boots exist? And why are none of them authentic peep-toes (i.e. with just a small hint of toe b/t the big and second toes visible)? Instead, they’re all more like open-toed boots, and THAT GOES AGAINST THE ENTIRE PURPOSE OF BOOTS. And freaking CLOGS are back? And Crocs still exist! And people still wear them! And Uggs! More like FUGGS, amiright? And can I go on the record to say that I LOVE Rita Wilson, but whatever the heck she was wearing at the Emmys was horrific, especially the matchy-matchy shoes? Because AAAAHHHHHHH.
But for now, these win the ugliest shoe contest because I’ve seen too many ugly shoes and cannot subject my eyes to it any longer: http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=468001&CategoryID=51638 Why, yes, those ARE stripper heels WITH A RANDOM STIRRUP-HIGHTOP THINGY. That both laces AND zips.
I don’t really shop online anymore, but I’m at Target on the weekly.
WHO buys these?! They are so unattractive…

OK, ModCloth. Normally, you offer cute and slightly expensive shoes. NORMALLY. I only have two things to say about this abominable “Cute Runnings Flat.”
1) At least you’re willing to admit that this designer COMPLETELY ripped off the Cool Runnings aesthetic.
2) On the plus side, I now know what shoes to wear when I have to leave my Jamaican bobsled team meeting early to dash off to a jam session with M.I.A.
I really, really, really want a big, hairy, burly plumber to show up at my house in these Peep-Toe Workman Booties.

That would make me so happy.

They are white faux snakeskin with peep toes. It’s like you put some albino snake on your foot with your toes sticking out of its mouth. These would make good shoes for a Halloween outfit, nothing else.
I’m not one to buy clothing online… Ever but I did google shoes and I have found the ugliest shoes known to mankind. You guys these shoes have toes!!!
I really want to burn my eyes right now…
