My prized woolen boots were bought in a moment of rashness just hours before I returned to China from a recent holiday to New Zealand.
It's my entire sister's fault. Visiting Kiwi-land a few months ago she whisked me into this trendy shop under orders Cheap Edin Dzeko Jersey , she said, to buy a pair of Ugg boots for her daughter Natasha in London.
Uggs are wool-lined, sheepskin boots and have been iconic footwear for a century. Even in the depths of winter, the lands Down Under are rarely cold but Uggs are practical accessories, worn by sheep farmers with access to the "raw materials" and airmen exposed to the cold at high altitude.
Beijing at Christmas sounded akin to the Antarctic, so although real Uggs were beyond my budget, I settled for a similar Cheap Diego Perotti Jersey , cheaper pair. The first hint of impending doom came with a shopping trip to Sanlitun. I spotted a pair of Uggs walking by, which belonged to a heavy-framed Asian man and seemed utterly incongruous. They almost went "baa baa" at me.
The consensus on Internet blogs, amid plenty of politically correct postings, was that no female would rejoice if her husbandboyfriend bought one. That's it, I vowed. These boots are going nowhere unless Beijing gets really cold!
Just as I was prepared to lock the cupboard and throw away the key, things took a turn for the better. I told my sister of my purchase and my misgivings. This is an exact quote from her reply:
"I've just spoken to Natasha and she says don't worry, all the blokes wear them over here. The only thing is Cheap Daniele De Rossi Jersey , they're all flashy, young Jewish boys at uni." We're a Jewish family, by the way, so please save your e-mails. I feel entitled to use the quote without causing offense.
My China Daily colleagues were useless for my confidence when I first tried them out. Editor-at-large Ravi S. Narasimhan passed me in the corridor, glanced down, burst out laughing and carried on without breaking stride or uttering a word.
Then, I spotted another pair of Uggs walking past me Cheap Cengiz Under Jersey , this time belonging to reporter Liu Wei. "Actually they're not real Uggs," she confessed. "They're imitation Uggs but they're good imitations. I would never buy a pair of bad imitations." Turns out even the fake market has its own hierarchy. They looked splendid, which did nothing for their apparent value as a unisex item.
Fellow Aussie Patrick Whiteley was no help either. "Wear them," he said. "They're really trendy here in Beijing." "Yeah but how many men do you know wearing them?" I asked sheepishly. "Um, none," he admitted.
My brittle ego was finally boosted by Wikipedia, which for the purposes of this article is the font of all knowledge. "Ugg boots have again grown in popularity Cheap Bruno Peres Jersey ," it declared, "with the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio being spotted in them." Well if they're good enough for a Hollywood heartthrob, that's good enough for me.
They'll be coming out of the cupboard again very soon. But, only if Beijing gets really cold.


She鈥檚 a prolific writer, has won an Emmy award, and is the epitome of woman empowerment – that鈥檚 what anyone who sees Liz Lemon, portrayed by Tina Fey on 30 Rock Cheap Bogdan Lobont Jersey , would think of her. Her no-nonsense outfits and that 鈥業-mean-business鈥?look complete the picture of the strong and independent young woman that she is.


However, there鈥檚 a lot about this woman that makes her far from perfect and it is those very eccentricities that make this lead lady believable, real and endearing.
Here are a few of those 鈥榠diosyncrasies鈥?
1.She鈥檚 skilled at being a 鈥榞uy-repellent鈥?
An excellent example of this is the episode in which she went to a karaoke bar, hoping to meet a handsome guy. But when one finally came and asked her whether she was with someone or not, she responded by asking why she should tell him just so he could try on her. If you missed this laugh riot of a scene, you can watch it, along with all your other favorite 30 Rock episodes by tuning in to the show online.
