I spent last weekend in Hawaii. Honolulu to be exact. The weather was great. Had a fabulous time. Saw and did many things. The one thing I wish I could erase from my memory is the number of people wearing Crocs. Yes, Crocs. You've seen them, yes? Those rubber (plastic?) clog-esque "shoes" that come in a rainbow of colors and make your feet look positively atrosh.
I thought that it was upsetting enough to see random individuals "rocking the Crocs" but this trip exposed me to a new level of Croc-ation Nation: Families in Crocs. Ay dios mio...
Seriously. I can't tell you how many times I saw this. Mom, Dad and any number of offspring rocking the Crocs. Sometimes they even added charms or some other personal adornment. Um, cute?
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying I've never fallen victim to an awful shoe trend (don't get me started on the 80s jelly shoes) but my entire family never wore matching shoes. What is going on here? All I know is that it's a world I don't want to live in. I don't think this family Croc-ation Nation is popular here in Oakland but I plan to stop looking at the ground and people's shoes just in case. I simply can't bear the visual assault.

And, may i add that there are Croc kiosk's in various airports? Maybe this family lost their luggage and had to dress themselves at this juan, total plop store? Just wondering.
PS: Thank you for the update!! I'd been waiting...
