Apparently Rich Kids of Instagram is a show(?).  No doubt it airs on one of those cable networks that exist only to provide fodder for the idiocracy's unquenchable hunger for "reality" programing.  It seems dreadful in every meaningful way, but...look she's wearing "this-summer's-boots." You may know that most summers don't even have boots and this year the hottest trend for July is "suede" thigh high boots. Why the fu@k not?

The trend has even made it to my sun-baked and un-fashionable corner of the galaxy. We had dinner last night at a bar/restaurant and one of the patrons was wearing a pair of Weitzman knock-offs. It had been a 100 degree day (and had cooled to a 94 degree evening) and some twenty-something was wearing a pair of thigh boots. The oddest thing was that it didn't appear that she was heading for a hot night out, rather that she was at the end of a day by the pool.  She was wearing a very casual shirt-dress, her hair was in a messy bun and she had that disheveled baked&glazed look that Southern Californians can instantly recognize as "day by the pool."  I just don't know what's going on anymore.
