This all stems from my trip on the El this morning. An apparently 'trendy' young lass was wearing something oddly simliar to the picture to the right. Explain this crap to me. Please? What is the deal with this new fad? Ballerina Shoes? Prada, Adidas, Nike, you name it. They have BALLERINA SHOES being sold to the public. What is the functionality for this? I've been told that girls on the way to work wear more comfortable shoes or shoes that are warmer than what they have to at their job. What in the HELL is the functionality behind wearing what is essentially a padded sock? In case there is a sudden outbreak of criminals that can only be fought off by pirouettes and whatever else people do in the ballet. I can understand wearing sneakers, boots, hell even Uggs have some sort of functionality. But, unless you need to beautifully spin out of the way of an oncoming passenger on the El, don't wear this crap. You look like an idiot, and most likely your feet are cold. Boo that man.

Having seen that picture before I started reading, I was hoping this would be the entry that you admitted to ballet dancing in your mirror when no one was home. Of course, this would lead us to a much deeper conversation of your love of balls and your penchant for playing tummy sticks with the latin dancer you met at the club. And I for one, don't have time for that.
But yes... ballet shoes suck.
Funny shit right there.
I though I was pretty on top of the fashion world, but you have once again broadened my horizons.
It annoys the hell outta me to see this kind of shit. Practicality can be overlooked when they are a hot pair of high heeled boots, or a fabulous pair of stilettos. But these "ballet sneakers" are by far the most idiodic waste of cowhide. If they are , in fact, leather...??
PS I love my UGGS. Wear then almost everyday. I could give a shit if they match what I'm wearing or not. They're warm & comfy as hell.
