As we head feet-first into 2009, it's only natural to take a look back in remembrance to the last 365 days. Soon our televisions, radios, internet and print media will be chock-full of tributes to those famous individuals who passed on, those wacky trends we endured, and the headlines that made 2008 'one for the record books'.
I, for one, will forego adding to this penchant for lists, remembrances and tributes...with the exception of one thing: an observation of trends that need to pass with the close of this year. And I've got just the thing that needs to go away...tout de suite:
UGG BOOTS.If ever there was an article of clothing which personifies the tourtured psyche of the American woman, then it has to be the Ugg Boot. I find it amazing that this style of footwear has become all the rage. Think of it: these boots - fashioned after those worn by whale blubber-eating Eskimos - are usually seen strutting about by rail-thin anorexic waifs!
It's the fashion equivalent of the Dali Lama going on a one-monk shooting spree. Both are shocking to witness, and both make about the same sense.
And before you Ugg-lovers howl in defense of your podietal pleasures, let me cut to the chase:
After all, a guy's gotta have a dream.

And before you Ugg-lovers howl in defense of your podietal pleasures, let me cut to the chase:
- They're not comfortable, and
- they make your feet sweat, and
- even if they were comfortable,
- they are downright ugly,
- and not the "so ugly they're beautiful" kinda ugly, but rather
- ugly as in "it looks like you're wearing two dog turds on your feet" kinda ugly.
After all, a guy's gotta have a dream.
