Note: This post is dedicated to Mago who appreciates and enables my passion for shoes.

  3. Are these OK or are they too CROCy?

    I've not worn them in snow (snow? here? ha!), but I think they might be good for that.

  5. Amen sister,
    If God had wanted us to wear Crocs, he would have given us hooves.

    Well, *all* of us, that is.

  6. By the way, Crocs are banned at my daughter's school. The kids were slipping in gym class and getting concussions. Ha! Score one for the righteous.

  7. Then again, God could actually hate crocodiles. They're not the most trustworthy of animals.

    God definitely hates Uggs, though.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Amen!

    Praise the lord!

    Can they please add Uggs? We all know that Uggs are short for ugly.

    That is all

  9. Hallelujua! Praise the Lord!

    Oh yeah. I'm a pagan.

    Whatever.

    Down with Crocs (and Uggs)

    Mistress MJ will take pleasure in hunting you down and beating you repeatedly over the head with your Crocs.

    XL: Are these OK or are they too CROCy?

    Luckily, Mistress MJ needs you to fluff her pillows and solve her IT dilemmas.

    Otherwise you would be sent to the oubliette for this fashion crime.

    As it is, I feel I might need a lie-down after seeing your fugly footwear.

    Prepare to fluff my pillows.

    MICHAEL RIVERS: Damn. I have these in 12 colors.
    Kidding.


    As a newcomer, you may be unaware that it is an offense to make light about Crocs in Mistress MJ’s presence.

    You are forgiven this time but next time you shall be sent to the oubliette.

  14. JASON: Amen sister,

    If we had hooves, we’d be wearing these boots.

    MAGO: Crocdressing?

    Infomaniac does not endorse men dressed as laydeez wearing Crocs if that is what you are suggesting.

    LEAH: By the way, Crocs are banned at my daughter's school. The kids were slipping in gym class and getting concussions. Ha! Score one for the righteous.

    We here at Infomaniac cheer any public banning of Crocs.

    However, we fear that the playgrounds and gymnasiums of America are becoming no-fun zones.

    We understand that teeter totters and monkey bars are nowhere to found anymore on U.S. playgrounds and have been replaced by safer plastic equipment.

    Perhaps helmets should be issued on the playgrounds and gymnasiums of America to avoid litigious action?

    BETTY: Then again, God could actually hate crocodiles. They're not the most trustworthy of animals.
    God definitely hates Uggs, though.


    And don’t forget Snuggs.

    CYBERPOOF: Amen!
    Praise the lord!

    Read this post that we did before you became an Infomaniac Bitch.

    It will give you one more nasty shoe style to protest.

    You cannot be Pope.

    If you click here, you’ll see that Old Knudsen is Pope.

    I see you’ve wasted no time in finding our baptismal font.

    Is that Beast in there with you?

    SAVANNAH: whatever, i'm in san francisco and wearing flip flops! *snickering*

    Get those flip flops off your feet immediately.

    Mistress MJ abhors the sound they make and they look like you couldn’t be bothered to make an effort.

    As you’re in San Francisco, we hope some stylish gay man sees you, wrestles you to the ground, and removes those horrid flip flops from your feet.

    Honestly, people. With all the choices available, can you not wear attractive footwear?

  16. You know there will come a day when the Croc Corp. will make fashionable stilettos and fetishist footwear.

    I dread that day.

    I’m also receiving a strong psychic vibration that indicates that Crocs will overtake the footwear market in the future akin to the despotic domination of Wal-Mart’s.

    I shall walk barefooted through Wal-Mart until my soles are blackened and infected with infantigo in show of protest.

    I also just like to walk barefooted through Wal-Mart, like Britney Spears.

    No!!!!! Don’t go in there!

    We don’t want you to become one of the People of Walmart!

  18. but they're so comfy and easy to put on?
    As God is my witness, I, for one, refuse to live in a world without 'em!
    So nyeh :(

  19. Real horses wear these.

    I have a pair of Uggs too, but not the pull on sloppy kind. They look like this.

    And you can already get Crocs in heels.

    Attn XL: Those are duck boots! Not the same as Crocs, and very useful in spring and fall, especially if you live in a swamp or on a farm.

    *runs nimbly away from a hail of Crocs*

    There is an uncomfortable chair in the Plaid Room with your name on it!

    Prepare for a nipple tweaking, for starters.

    Kindly keep your horrendous so-called shoe links OFF our blog.

    You shop at Payless, don’t you?

  21. Oh no, we have monkey bars aplenty!

    However, no teeter-totters. God, I loved teeter-totters.

    But anyway, crocs or no, the kids still hurt themselves...

    I think the croc ban was just an aesthetic statement masquerading as a safety ban.

    And Crocs have been banned from some hospitals.

    Ban them from ALL public places, I say.

  24. *dances happily in her Carvala boots*

    I'm an Infomanic Bitch! It's official. Yay! I'm an Infomanic Bitch!

    *sees Snuggs and feels very, very ill*

    Note to Self: Stop following Mistress' links.

    *heaves*

  25. Well if you are she hasn't linked you yet, and you aren't an official one until then. The requirement for becoming one of Mistress MJs bitches is similar to the rule for men (to send a photo of his naked bottom), but women have to post a naked picture of their front bottom instead. I'm also Mistress MJs official 'food-taster' in a manner of speaking so the photo has to be sent to me to make sure it isn't something that MJ won't like.

  31. Thank you, Mistress MJ, for once again reminding the masses about this horrible fashion faux pas! It was bad enough in the 80's with gel shoes and then in the 90's with kitten heeled flip flops, they are abominations and those wearing them should be publicly ridiculed, tarred and feathered.

    As for the UGGS, In Australia, they are considered SLIPPERS and only worn by "Westies" out in public who also further shamed themselves by wearing them with track pants...the Aussie version of wearing your pj's and slippers out to get the milk.

    Imagine my horror when moving to L.A. after Sydney only to discover pretty young/dumb things wearing HOT, to-the-knee Ugg boots with mini-skirts in the middle of summer. People's stupidity and lack of logic, continues to amaze me!

  32. LA DIVA CUCINA: You cannot walk down the street here without being confronted by Uggs all along the way.

    It’s enough to send me scurrying into the nearest pub for relief.

    And just the other day, I spied an entire FAMILY wearing Crocs!

    I had to lie down after that.

    Your finger is merely trigger happy.

    Anyone wearing Crocs combined with a Baker boy/Tammy hat will be shot on sight.

    Mistress MJ decrees that both Ayem8y and Mitzi go on a rampaging killing spree to forever banish Crocs from your Mistress’s kingdom.
