Rainbow Wellies

My rain boots made the callout site for being inane.  What are rain boots supposed to look like?  I think rainbow stripes are a lot less offensive than something like that.

Re: Rainbow Wellies

  • I have boots pretty darn identical to those.

    Now I feel boot-shame.

    Frown
  • Are you effing kidding me?

    The intelligence level of people submitting callouts is probably at a first grade level at best.  Making fun of your damn rain boots is seriously grasping at straws and making an excuse to make fun of someone just because they want to.  THAT is inane.

    I hope they call me out for something stupid so I can ignore it.

    Plus - I LOVE your boots.  Rain boots aren't really supposed to be the most chic, stylish things ever anyway.  If they have fun prints... then they're fun!

  • nono, you are just REALLY lame for talking about them in general.... you know, because all real life conversations are SO above the level of rainbow wellies
  • I thought they were calling out Amoro because of her post on them. I didn't read it, though, so at the time I had no idea what Wellies were.
  • How about these.  Better than these:


    Sorry Anna.

  • They're rain boots.  It's not like you're wearing them to board meetings.  They should be fun. 

    That said...mine are pretty boring, because they sit next ot my desk where they're visible all day if I wear them to work.  I'm shopping for more fun ones too.

    I used to have rainbow toe socks.  They were amazing.

  • Why would your rain boots make the call out site? Did you put them in someone's ass?

    Therefore, by posting this, I have perpetuated my own lameness?!? Crap!  What will I do with myself?  I cannot go on!

    Seriously, though.  I am in grad school.  I have to think and behave adult at a ridiculous level most of the time.  What is wrong with talking about rain boots?

    How does one wear rainboots? Do you only wear it with skirts/shorts? Do you tuck your pants inside or leave them on the outside? I just dont get it.
  • I guess it's because rainbow wellies are not serious enough or pertinent enough for real conversation - talking about rainboots is apparently a waste of time.

    Quick, let's all brainstorm how to help those flood victims in Pakistan, or we could talk about Obama's birth certificate again.

  • I think rainbow wellies are cute!

    I noticed something on there today (not to do with me I am sure I do not "rate" a callout!). I should not even GO there but I have a perverse facination. There is a post about how "high school" TK is and that adult women do not behave that way. at the end, it commends the callout site.

    My responce to that is, OH, so posts on people being "fat" and "old" and blah, blah are NOT highschool? Is that how adult women act? If so, I would rather be one of those immature knotties!
  • I love your rainboots NS. I think we should all buy rainboots as colorful as we can find them. We'll get Shelly onboard and wear them to our G2G's and take pictures!

    Where is this callout crap anyway? It seems a lot of people are getting slammed. I really didnt appreciate the one about Jill from the E board saying her E-pic makes her look fat. Just uncalled for.

    I generally roll up my pants and switch to real shoes indoors.  They're strictly for puddle, wet up to your calves days.

    Maybe they need rain boots? (or waders, more likely)

    All of the above. Well, I tuck my pants in. The same way I would with regular boots.

    I love rainboots. I have pink ones that I love. I get lots of compliments on them too. I don't understand the hate for them on KPS call outs. I don't understand the call outs at all.
  • I don't even have rainboots now, and I want them.  I'll probably buy rainbow wellies too.

    I wish people would just stop talking about the call outs, the more attention its given the more it will happen. If people know you are bothered by the call out in any way or shocked or something, then theyve kind of won. Theyre stupid. Ignore them.
  • The people participating in the call outs are dickholes.
    I think your boots are adorable.

    Now that train song is in my head.  Come on ride the train, and ride it.

  • I wanna talk about jeans and rainbow wellies! It said we talked about jeans! I currently wear Coldwater Creek Jeans (nice clothes for old people like me there. Wonder if OWN has been there). I am working on losing weight though and when I do will probably branch out in my jeans experiences. With some rainbow wellies.
  • *wince* You are so right Nebb - it's totally clear that whoever started the callout site wants to get a rise out of people, and the people who send in are perpetuating that - plus, people who read it and THEN talk about it only help along the negativity.

    It's just kinda hard to not point out how dumb it all is.

    I want Rain Boots, but I can't justify it living in AZ :(

    Also, if you don't show interest in the KPS site, doesn't that person just shrivel up like a raisin from lack of attention?

    I should also point out im not immune to my statement since im clearly talking about it right now as well. I just think theyre stupid "flames" made by stupid people on a site created by someone even more stupid.
  • My rain boots have polka dots and they are for children. Because I have small feet.
