Note to everyone who is searching about ugg.gg or uggs.gg. The site is a scam. Not only is it selling cheap poorly made counterfeits with the real uggsaustralia tag, some people are now reporting that money is being taken out of their credit cards accounts and banks multiple times and they are getting nothing in return. Additionally, little web birds are saying the site has been shut down by the real UGGSAustralia. Block these people from taking any more of your money. You will not receive anything. Ever.
Normally I keep my scam/spam busting separate and don't mention it much but I just cleared up a dozen e-mails about this company. I bundled them up and sent them to a consumer complaint site, among others. Remember everyone...if it seems too good to be true, it is. And UGGS are made and distributed in Australia, not wholesaled from factories in China. Real uggs are 50% more expensive in China than anywhere else in the world. Many larger companies are refusing to sell in China because counterfeiters buy the real thing then counterfeit it.
There's a difference between generic fuggs and counterfeit UGGS. fuggs don't claim to be anything other than fuggs. They don't have a fake uggs Australia brand tag on them, they aren't being sold for hundreds of dollars and the stores that sell them are quite honest. I got a cheap pair of fuggs at payless and they were 100% honest they aren't real uggs and it is okay to call them fuggs. Claire's has fuggs too, and they tell everyone they aren't real, just generic ugg style boots.
I don't feel as harsh toward Uggs as i do toward crocs. I like uggs. They look cute with tights and skirts and with jeans tucked in. They are casual and fun. They don't claim to be a revolution in fashion, a new way of life or any of the nonsense the crocs people were spouting. They come from an eco friendly renewable resource that does not pollute the earth the way plastic does, and they are comfy and warm. They aren't snow boots, so don't wear them as such.
So I had a really good time this weekend. First the weather is still more like March than November. While this is nice for going out, it's does not inspire me to buy chrisms stuff. My sis in law thinks that if her Christmas shopping isn't done by Canadian thanksgiving then it's almost too late. I think that if I think about starting by American Thanksgiving then I'm getting too far ahead of myself. If it's done by 12:00 on December 24 that's good enough for me.
I went to my cousin Tina's bridal shower. She's Kathy's youngest and the youngest first cousin of the Boshart bunch. I think there's over 40 of us first cousins on one side of my family. If I include my dad's side I have over 60 first cousins. My mom's side of the family is drawing closer as we all get older so these family get together are getting nicer and nicer all the time.
Sunday we took Dan and Heather with us to spend some gift cards. The Mark's store in Kitchener was having a big sale (we figured out why at home later) and we all had gift cards. I got some new socks which I needed desperately, and a brown velour hoodie that looks almost exactly like a brown velour hoodie I had when i was a teen ager.
Yes, you read that right...I bought a hoodie. I bought clothes. From a chain store. I didn't make it, design it or embellish it the second i got home. And I didn't get it from a small dark out of the way place in the depths of downtown.
Dave and Ben got winter things and Dan and Heather got winter boots. When we got home we realized everything was so cheap because it all vaguely smelled like hot rubber and diesel fuel. Spill or fire perhaps? Doesn't matter, everything was really well priced.
So that's all for today. I'm working on the patterns and instruction for making a sleeve roll and pressing ham, two things professional designers dressmakers and tailors use in conjunction with the iron for pressing curves and tubes. Neither are difficult to make. When I took my dressmaking and design course long ago they were the very first project in the course. I've used mine to the point where I need to replace them. Hams and rolls are quite expensive and there's no need to spend so much money on something that can be easily made at home.
So that's all for today. Tonight is CSI Miami. Or Canada's worst drivers. In honour of CSI:Miami I offer up this new LOLCaruso:
See y'all tomorrow! We're having ham and rolls stuffed with sawdust and sand! YUM YUM!
