Bahahahaha! Good point.

I still chuckle that Pam Anderson – the rabid PETA spokeswoman – was the one who initially made these boots famous in the U.S. Apparently, sheep are okay in her book to wear but not eat.

Daughter was called out on the sales floor to explain to a rich, noisy woman why the were out of her size in the style of Uggs she wanted to purchase. Daughter explained to the woman that Uggs were rather hard to get since they were made of a finite number of natural materials.

Uggs were allocated to stores based upon previous years purchase, etc. The woman did not want to listen and kept getting louder so then daughter told he that there were only so many lambs born each year in New Zealand (or Australia, I don’t remember) and no matter how much the company would like to ramp up production of Uggs, God allowed momma sheep to have only so many baby lambs at a time.

It never occurred to the woman that the excellent Ugg boots were an animal product and then she went off on a loud rant about how disgusting a business was that would make money off of selling parts of dead babies.

My daughter called me and told me the story and then she asked me that age old question, “How can stupid people be so rich?” My reply was to ask, what color was the ladies hair, body shape and then I told daughter that maybe the woman had other wonderful qualities that did not have to do with intelligence. Remember trophy wives are made, not born.

By the way, daughter and grand daughter love their Uggs.

I also own leg warmers.
