I just have to respond. I am a Canadian/American, living in NC. I totally know what you’re talking about. I’ve tried to explain the Cougar boot phanom to my NC husband, but he didn’t get it, until reading your article. I went through a similar experience, having to wear a church jacket on a band trip to Boston, with the band wearing uniform jackets that were optional, but I feel for you about the boots. I also really wanted a Roots article of clothing and couldn’t even think of it, until adulthood when my husband and I drove up to Canada after the 2002 winter olympics and got one on a major sale. So I am proudly wearing my 2002 Roots jacket in support of the Canadian Olympiads.
I’m sure you have heard of Heather Armstrong, but if you are like me and live in a media bubble that doesn’t extend much past The Jonas Brothers and the Food Network, then here is a link to her blog. She is hilarious – your style is very much like hers…perhaps you are the next blogging superstar!
This is so good!!! I laughed out loud and loved the photos.
