I saw a woman in the Science Museum today, who really could only be described as having "let herself go"

Grey streaky "hanging" hair, huge arse and fat tum in grey tracky bottoms, footglove shoes, shapeless burgundy tunic top and hanging tits. She really looked like she had given up on life. In contrast, she had three dear little, divinely trendily dressed girls with her. She had obviously put a lot of thought and effort into what they were going to wear (down to the very funky hat one of them was wearing) but hadn't even spent five minutes on herself.

Why?

It's because Croc's are cool.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 17/04/2007 23:08

They also save time - no need to take them off and thus put them back on again - ever. You can bath and shower with them on.

Im whith VVV, I'm sure they're theatre shoes, but a friend told me today they're gardening shoes.

Heathcliffscathy · 17/04/2007 23:08

pmsl.

unlucky for me i'm not wearing my crocs and therefore must watch where i leak.

hunkermunker · 17/04/2007 23:09

And in case small children vomit on them. You could kick the chunks out of the holes.

There HAS to be a reason they're worn by so many - it CAN'T be because they look nice. They're HIDEOUS!

I tried a pair on the other day to see if they really were the comfy gorgeousnesses I've read about.

The 4 slightly too small. The 5 boat-like. Tried on the black ones - the colours worry me. And they've prickly insides. I am too princess and the pea-like to wear something that pointy inside.

I sense a new acronym will appear soon...

PMSLWCO...(pissing myself laughing with crocs on)

AitchTwoOh · 17/04/2007 23:09

what about big towelling slippers? don't they catch leaks? and more stylish than crocs.

expatinscotland · 17/04/2007 23:10

Fake Croc's are naff.

expatinscotland · 17/04/2007 23:10

Aitch probably has her feet stuck in a pair of naffotastic tartan slippers with a white plastic sole whilst she writes posts slagging Croc's .

VeniVidiVickiQV · 17/04/2007 23:10

hunker, may i point out that you have regularly worn huge fluffy slippers when out and about, so im not sure crocs are much worse, tbh

hunkermunker · 17/04/2007 23:10

These weren't fake crocs. What are they? Alligators?

hunkermunker · 17/04/2007 23:11

Slippers? Nah, trainers. Honest.

chocolateface · 17/04/2007 23:11

You can't wear towling slippers on the school run.

Heathcliffscathy · 17/04/2007 23:11

god hunker you are NOT listening:

you can garden in them, perform operations, everything washes off them: blood, wee, soil...you never need take them off as can wear them in the bath...

go and shrink some in the oven (like those little things you got in cereal packets, i expect they go smaller in a wam oven) to size.

hunkermunker · 17/04/2007 23:12

So, are you FOR or AGAINST crocs then, Sophable?

Heathcliffscathy · 17/04/2007 23:12

fake crocs.

FAKE CROCS.

[sophable goes to bed muttering darkly about what the world is coming to]

expatinscotland · 17/04/2007 23:12

DD1 just loves her Croc's.

I can see why!

chocolateface · 17/04/2007 23:13

Are crocs good to wear in labour?

Heathcliffscathy · 17/04/2007 23:13

fake plastic clogs.

surely the crocs are the fakes as they are not made of wood like the originals are?

fake plastic clogs.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 17/04/2007 23:13

Whats a "wam oven"?

Is it a special oven for shrinking crocs (of shoite)?

PrincessPeaHead · 17/04/2007 23:14

you CAN'T garden in shoes with millions of holes in, you'll get earth in them and filthy feet

eurgh

soph your cord thread is completely bizarre and may well give me nightmares, ta!

Heathcliffscathy · 17/04/2007 23:14

did i dream this or are they made of recycled binliners or something...are they VERY VERY environmentally friendly despite being VERY VERY visually challenging?

they'd have to be non-slip for labour.

DaphneHarvey · 17/04/2007 23:14

MrsS - I understand exactly what you are saying. I am one of those umkempt Mums (sometimes hair not brushed, makeup rarely, grey not dyed - however, always showered, teeth brushed and in cleanish clothes) and my little ones look fab.

Its all to do with time. There just isn't time always to get us all looking top notch before we go out in the morning. And because dcs have perfect skin, lovely hair, and a reasonable wardrobe of good quality clothes, I hope they look a lot better than slightly worn round the edges me. However, I do always wear a bra (no swinging tits here) and clean knicks and socks and feed my children proper food and spend time with them and take them out to nice attractions like the Science Museum.

I know you aren't judging her on her appearance per se.

Why can't other people read your OP without judging you for judging other people?

You're just asking a question ffs!
