Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
I died three deaths watching this. Who knew flip flops made you feel some type of way? *shrug* *throws away all three pair of my flip flops*
Now that all of that is out of the way, “the trifecta of hideous shoes?” I feel like that deserves a PSA of some sort. “If you or someone you know has the audacity to leave your home in Crocs, Uggs or flip flops, don’t be afraid to call us for help. We will come to your home and take all the time you need to promptly bitch slap the lazy out of you …” and then list some clever (800) number like, (800) BAD-SHOE.
OK, and your announcement of “I’ll still be in heels, bitch!” I. Can. Not!
By the way, I love how Buelah showed up for a split second to say, “Mm mm …” and shake her head in a very “bitch please” way. *tear* I’m so proud. *sniffle*
And really, the syrupy sweet “Thank you” at the end is like having your landlord evict you and then saying “Have a nice day.” Somehow, it doesn’t fit. LMAO!
*Bins numerous pairs of ‘comfy’ flip-flops* Oh the shame, whole heartrdly agree though, on every point, only wear mine for gardening!
While I agree that flip flops make that god-awful sound, dirty up your feet & make people walk all crazy, I am a proponent of COMFORT. We already know this. I will choose comfort over shooting pain up my leg from a heel any day.
That said, we’re still cool because I don’t wear flip flops as “shoes” but as slippers (in my house) or at the beach or in the gym…you know, the two times I actually went. OH wait… sometimes when I go get snacks at 2am at the Stop n Go I wear flip flops…is that okay??? LOL
PS- Hearing you say “Frikkin” all loud & stern-like is giving me LIFE. I replayed the end like 3x LMAO!!!!
And here I just bought 2 new luscious pairs of flippity flops from Old Navy on Sunday. *sigh*
Flip Flop are the most disgusting shoe ever. I have a colleague who wears them and her heels look like she has been grinding rocks, crusty and dirty. It’s disgusting!
And Irene, REALLY? OLD NAVY FLIP FLOPS? Please don’t wear them around me I will step on your feet. You’ve been warned.
I thought I should lurk no longer and giggle at your blog behind my computer screen. You’re simply awesome and you know I heart you!
Flip-flops, Uggs and Crocs should be eradicated…I even have a few palpitations when I see sandals. I think that is more to do with the douchebags who rock the socks and sandals combo. Heaven help us, if there is a sock and croc combo…geez!
Beach…yes. Pool…yes. Walking around Asda (Walmart for our N.American buds)…er no.
Keep Britain fashionable Bangs!!
Is that the Eiffel Tower on the left?
I heart flip flops. And my uggs. In fact I wear heels once in a blue moon. Maybe thats why I have been dumped. It all makes sense now.
First of all, I’m happy to report that my work computer is (surprisingly) not acting like a little bitch today and the sound is sufficient that I can actually enjoy your lilting tones.
I agree with your observation that flip flops have the power to completely ruin an outfit. Since the weather in Toronto has been so nice recently, I’ve noticed a lot of women breaking out the nice spring dresses. Unfortunately, they choose to finish off these outfits with two pieces of plastic ugliness slapped on their feet. Congrats ladies! Your look just went from “Gal About Town” to “Laundry Day Loser”.
BTW I was disturbed to note that a number of the Toronto-based fashionistas in my Twitter timelime had congrgated at an UGGs event in the city last night and, based on their tweets, seemed to enjoy it. It’s taken all my restraint not to delete them all on principle.
“I’ll still be in heels bitch!!!!!!!”
That’s a double high-five with the backwards thing they do in TopGun!!! Dear lord MUIREANN!!!!!!!!
Good work lady!!!
I have lived in my flips the past week… (IN GREECE MIGHT I ADD) i’m really quite depressed not being able to wear them but I allow weather to dictate!!
Make. this. viral.
My husband asked if he could wear flip flops with his morning suit on our wedding day. His senses returned before I could bitchslap him but I still pray he was joking.
[...] Bangs had a rant on Flip Flops which I thought was funny….but I wear flip [...]
Totally. truth. Well said. I personally believe flip flops should be only allowed as beach shoes: walking along copacabana and ipanema beach in Rio de Janeiro (yay for hometown ;D ) or any “along the *insert paradisical place name here* beach”, possibly to the pool and as house shoes – because flip flops are better than that fluffy grandma version that is sold damn everywhere – as long as nobody else can see, just like sweat pants or loose sweater. Flip flops can be quite uncomfortable too, if worn for a long time or if the rubber strap start to burn your skin. Despite the fact flip flops are a HUGE market in and from my home country – Brazil – I detest Havaianas. Own 2 pairs, but they are there, waiting my trip to Spain or going back to Brasil for vacations and nothing else.
