Epic Failin'

hortenseg:

“Since fashion trends weren’t my top interest, I kept bringing the Vogue writer’s questions back to national security and energy independence. That made it tough for her, as she was doing her best to write for readers who cared about the latest Fifth Avenue styles and probably wouldn’t be caught dead in a pair of Sorels.”- Sarah Palin, Going Rogue

Whatever forever: anyone who lives in the frozen wastelands knows that Sorels are serious yet stylish snow boots for people who want to at least attempt to look cute, as hard as it is in -20 temps, shoveling 10 feet of snow out of your driveway. They even bill themselves as boots where “low temperature comfort meets high fashion style.”  You can’t act like you’re not up on trends and then drop Sorels.  Oh, you thought some of us who know about “the Fifth Avenue styles” and don’t vote Republican wouldn’t know that you were name dropping the Louboutins of suburban snow boots?  Too bad, so sad.

Oh, and also, Sarah: here’s an episode of Vogue.TV, where the editors praise, what? What now?  SOREL BOOTS.  For what?  Being winter chic.  But nice try, though.

here’s a screencap from my style caster for today.  see the weather down in the bottom there?  yeah.  it kind of makes whether i like any of these outfits irrelevant, because they all feature open-toed shoes, and two have bare legs.  FOR TRAMPING AROUND IN THE RAIN?  seriously?  in reality i’m wearing a long-sleeved shirt, a long sweater, jeans tucked into tall boots, a woolen blazer and a scarf.  with gloves and a hat in my (waterproof) bag, just in case.  i guess what i’m trying to say is that even though i really like the idea behind this website, so far it hasn’t really impressed me as being, say, in touch with reality.  at least not my reality.  i’m hopeful though, so i’ll stick out a little longer at least. what do you guys think?  are you members?  does it work for you?

"I'm not a fashion person. I'm anti-fashion. I don't like to be a part of that world. It's too transient. I have never been influenced by it. I'm Interested in longevity, timelessness-style not fashion."
