Girl, your grandmother was RIGHT (and the retro phrase “round heels” is so funny). I never thought about it before, but I knew several girls of varying types and sizes in middle school who wore the rabbit fur coats, and I’m pretty sure they all did end up pregnant by 10th grade. Does the rabbity urge for sex overcome anyone who wears their fur? I figure it serves ‘em right!

Well, not only did I get to see two of the ugliest pair of boots on the planet, I learned a new phrase ( “Round heels” ).

Never a dull moment on this blog!

Also, Taryn’s boots look like she just attached some carpet from a cat scratching post to a pair of Uggs and added matching pom-poms from AC Moore. Not very inspriring.

They would be perfect…if I was planning to become The Yeti.

If boots like these did not exist, what would tycoon’s second-best mistresses wear in Gstaad? thepinkeminence and I are in perfect agreement, except that she thinks it’s a bad thing and I? I pity the poor second-string girls, with their Ken Paves extensions and their willingness to please.

Sorry, been reading too many old Vanity Fairs.

rabrab does make an excellent point.

While the GZ boots feature built-in tourniquets for the moment when you realize the only answer for your feet is a form of sole sacrifice, at least they are whole-heartedly committed to the awfulness.

The Taryn Rose ones are blandly horrible in a way that offends me far more than the ‘look at me; I’m godawful, dammit’ vibe of the GZ ones.

I think that the Taryn Rose boots are worse; at least GZ committed wholeheartedly to the absurdity that are fur moonboots. To successfully wear absurd clothing or shoes requires one attribute above all: commitment. If you’re going to do yeti-feet, then by ghod do yeti-feet, don’t do a timid approach to yeti-feet.

Taryn’s look like she really was trying to make a nice pair of winter boots (and didn’t realize how odd they came out.) GZ’s are just over-the-top, don’t-even-pretend-you’re-wearing-these-seriously bizarre. The GZ’s make me laugh; the Taryn’s make me cringe.

While both hideous, I’d pick the boots by Taryn Rose, if only because the round heels sound like much more fun!

The GZ’s are worse, hands down, because of how hard they made me laugh. They remind me of an Afghan (the dog), one of the only creatures that was clearly not made by God because of its utter ridiculousness.
Also, I think that the boots would best be worn with a gold bikini and a big fur hat. A la Bond Girl.
And, if I had a spare room to tarp I would fill it with whipping cream. Maybe it’s just me.

Now all Ah need is a coon skin cap and Ah can defend the Alamo!

Born on a mountain top in Tennessee
The greenest state in the land of the free
Raised in the woods so’s he knew ev’ry tree
Kilt him a b’ar when he was only three
Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier
