Scooping Gordon Lamb
Zing! I know Unca Gordo would have posted this if he only knew about it (or maybe he was just biding his time, crafting the perfect sentences, flipping through his thesaurus to figure out knew ways to say “ugly”). If you enjoy Go Fug Yourself (and I’m sure you do) but find it too broad in its appreciation of Fug, you really might want to hit up a blog that focuses on the biggest trend of the past decade: hideous damn shoes. Frankly, I’m fascinated by them in a way I’m fascinated by almost no other ugly fashion. The thought of booties appearing on the streets of Athens this fall gives me hives. I even felt bad about the pair of wedges I bought at Payless after seeing some girls downtown in wedges and floaty dresses (it’s a bad combination! the wedge must be combined with a more structure outfit, as it’s a highly structured shoe). Anyway, as Mr. Lamb put it during one of the last conversations we had, “Women’s fashion is in the toilet.” And these shoes really should be.
