For most Australians, one of the things that dismays us completely is the predeliction of the English in wearing Ugg boots not as slippers or comfy and warm pre-yoga clogs but as fashion items. And I don't mean the trendy looking Uggs that have emerged over the last season (if you click here to see some from their website, you'll see that there are some un-Ugg-like ones) but the traditonal fleecy ones that they insist on wearing to accessorise a summer dress and bare legs.But then I saw something today that shocked me, made me gasp and weep at the sheer travesty of it all...the 'costume' (and what a highly appropriate word that is here!) for Australia's representative in the Miss Universe competition featuring "high-heeled ugg boots, a brown one-piece swimming costume hand-painted by an Aboriginal artist, a multi-layered rainbow skirt and a lamb’s wool shrug"...
Need I say more?

I share your view on this. Uggs are slippers! Never shall they be worn outside the home, even just to get the mail. And since when were they worth £200??
