Make it STOP!
Today I spotted two pair of Ugg boots; a woman in a porn skirt (a super short, checkered-kilt-type thing) with stiletto ankle boots; and a young gal in a PAJAMA BOTTOMS. I’m not talking hostess pajamas, silk pajamas, or lounging pajamas. I have all of the above! No, these are pajama bottoms. Dotted, spotted, plaid or pink … flannel. Or sweatsuit material. Ugh.
This PJ pants thing has to stop. It’s an utter disregard for your fellow man. Why? Because the people I see in pajama pants are all obviously able to purchase real clothing. You don’t see homeless people in pajamas. Even people who cannot afford to keep a roof over their head - and there are more and more - don’t wander around insolently in pajamas, giving a great “fuck you” to the world. It peeves me to no end and just screams “I’m rich and lazy!” For every idiot that wanders outside in pajama pants, they should be fined and the penalty would be to give a real pair of pants to a person in need.
There is one large and blowsy woman I occasionally see on my early morning dog walks. She wears a nightie of sorts as she walks her (of course, tiny) dog. She is large and has gelatinous thighs. I could not bear to see myself in one of those in the privacy of my own home - alone! Why on earth should I be subject to the sight of someone else in them before I’ve even had my morning coffee? Her poor dog.
Princess Luciana, if you are reading, you are needed in Los Angeles. Urgently!
The horror.

I have to admit with considerable embarrassment…….. the ugh boot is an Australian invention.. the shame, the shame! Nevertheless, I totally agree. Here we call them “Bogan Wear” (a Bogan being, well…..something akin to White Trash, but not exactly the same). Other typical Bogan Wear: acid-wash stretch jeans, black Metallica T-shirts and for the gals, floral leggings with appliqued sweat-shirts (or in local parlance, a “sloppy joe”). No-one over the age of 5 and being taken to the local drive-in has any right to wear pajamas past their front door!

For goodness sake, what is the show-biz capitol of the world come to?! Joan Crawford never left thew house without looking like “Joan Crawford,” and she is my patron saint. I can’t even go down to get the mail without lipstick on, and I always dress my best to work every day. Even if no one sees me but the people on the subway and my coworkers, well, one must give them a standard to live up to, right?

Oh we know they are Australian, but it’s not your fault. Last week in the 90+ degree weather I spotted the horrible only-in-LA combo of Ugg and short-shorts.

Amen, sister. It’s laziness, pure and simple.

The ugg boot/shorts combination reminds me of that recent dead of winter trend: ugg boots, a scarf wrapped around the throat - and 12 inches of exposed midriff.
