As the title of the post says, in Australia Ugg means ugly. That's why Australians call Ugg boots, Ugg boots. It is not considered cool/hip/stylish to wear them here. In Australia, the bogans (white trash) are the ones who wear Ugg boots, not the stylish people.
When my aussie-mum heard that I wanted Ugg boots, she asked me "Why do you want those?!?! They are ugly, useless boots" Well I responded that in Canada where we do get snow and it's cold we need the warmth of the Ugg.
While I was at the Queen Victoria Market yesterday, I was walking around trying to find Ugg boot vendors. There were many, some vendors sold them for $100 dollars, others $75 and then I found the deal of the century... tall Ugg boots were $39. So I went to the vendor's booth, tried them on and on the spur of the moment I bought 2 pairs, a lighter pair and a black pair. The lighter one is SO soft, and I'm very excited to wear them this coming winter. The black ones are more stylish... still excited to wear them too!
I have pictures... but again the internet is a little slow, so I will add them when I can.
