Streetlevel: New Blood on 5th Avenue
In the old Beacon’s Closet, which moved down the street, and Ugg shop has opened up, just in time for the cold spell. And down the street from Ugg is a new women’s clothing store called Celine. Score two for 5th Avenue. More on Gowanus Lounge. GMAP

Someone made a major marketing error at Uggs and can you just use a name like Celine? Maybe we’ll have “Prada” next.
Not interested. Not that I have any money to spend anyway.
so where on 5th?
Judging by the look of the mannequins in the window, this is not THE Celine. No way.
I can vouch for the fact that Uggs are toasty warm, having owned them *before* they became hot and now that they’re “out.” Celine is a super high-end store locate on Madison Avenue…could this possible be any relation? And located in PS? the horror!
“The rest of us subsidize it. Which I have no problem with for healthcare.”
Hubby and I are self employed. I dare say what we pay for health insurance…..”but I’ve reached my boiling point”.
Something has to be done. This system is not working for so many people. Maybe, I shouldn’t have become a legal citizen.
I wish they came in clear. I can head out on the streets to work and feel warm 🙂
Do any of them come in clear heels, BRG?
Yes, I know that BRG. In reality, it will be a more complicated and cumbersome process once the benefits are in place. If you’re illegal you go to the emergency room and get treated and leave. Simple. No paperwork, no muss, no fuss. The rest of us subsidize it. Which I have no problem with for healthcare.
What I will not subsidize, for example, are the union wages and benfits of the MTA employees who should be taking some sort of a paycut instead of nothing while everyone else, riders and non-riders wind up paying.
Sorry for the rant but I’ve reached my boiling point on unions that are no longer socially necessary as they were decades ago. The arroganc of the autoworkers is ridiculous.
Cobble, I have the short brown ones. They recommend that you don’t wear socks with them, believe it or not.
I looked at the ones with the wedge heel, they just came out with, but it didn’t have the fur all they way down the boot on the inside. What’s the point of uggs without the sheep all they way thru.
DIBS…there are alos alot of ‘legal’ citizens who have to wait for “Change You Can Believe In” to get any kind of medical benefits.
