@SoOverIt: The Brits would have a fit if an American played her.
@Tambar: Oh, Somalia already makes Afghanistan look like Switzerland. They didn't have a government of any description for almost 20 years, and the one they've got now - well, as a commenter downthread says, they control 55 percent of Mogadishu now! Woohoo! Pity about the other 45 percent. Oh, and THE REST OF THE COUNTRY.
@kaytiebug77: I'm not commenting on their hardwearing properties, I'm commenting on their general suitability (in addition to being lovely bug breeding factories, they also offer zero arch support). But hey, wear em where you want to. But in their country of origin they are not regarded as outdoor shoes.
@Eve-The-original-sinner: They're not bad for running outside for the washing, but I wouldn't be doing anything heavy duty in them. Mainly they're like super slippers.
@kaytiebug77: They can be worn in the backyard, and maybe down to the corner shop to buy milk, but that's about it. You should not be stomping around town in the them.
Ok. Uggs are not outdoor shoes. Do not wear them outside. Their sock-like nature also means they need to be cleaned once in a while. I do not understand why this is so hard for people.
This is an excellent time to ask a question that has always bothered me: What is the point of the thick woolen three-quarter-length-sleeve coat, especially in a place like New York, where I am guessing it is still freezing? Do your hands and forearms not get cold? I live in Sydney and mild as our winters are, I wouldn't buy one, so what gives with people wearing them in the Northern Hemisphere?
@I-forget-what-8-was-for: I read your first comment and thought "This woman is clearly psychic".
Oh my god, these comments are almost ur-Jezebel.
@Mireille is Cattery-Operated: YES. Very important for peace summits.
I literally only know about Coco because of Tweetbeat, but I like her more every week. I think she'd be cool to get beers with (also, I see Serena Williams and I have similar opinions on what is funny, ie DOGS IN SUNGLASSES).
@Mega-Panda: She's getting EVERYONE. This morning's filming featured Russell Crowe and the Irwin kids. This evening is Nicole and Keith, Olivia Newton John, John Farnham (PS SORRY ABOUT THAT, AMERICA), Hugh Jackman etc etc. Madness. I mean I kind of love her. But MADNESS.
@Mega-Panda: Oh, I think Nicole is going to appear on her mega-show at the Opera House tomorrow, too.
@Oracleofgomorrah: oh WHAAAAAAT
Quite nice penmanship, anyway.
My mother craved nothing but silverbeet when she was pregnant with me (there must have been an iron problem). I have safely report that this has not been passed on to me. I don't mind silverbeet, but I am unlikely to be snacking on it while I play WoW anytime soon.
Oh god yes thank you. Both times I have been to Paris I have attracted a truly unwanted, and at times frightening level of attention from men. I am not some bombshell either. But apparently if you're walking down the street on your own, that means you're up for a quick proposition; and you're walking down the street on New Year's Eve with a friend, well that means both of you want to be grabbed and kissed. No really. I had to drag one guy off my friend, and we kicked several others away. The cops nearby? Thought it was hilarious.
"Traumatic"? Unless you are returning to a genuinely abusive family situation, give me a break. For everyone else it's called "growing up".
And so a million gifs are born.
On the bright side: Hooray for pubic hair!
