I've made a decision. I need a hula girl for my dashboard. There's no convincing me otherwise.
On Friday, I almost broke my toe. I smashed my pinky toe against the bathtub, it ended up swollen and bruised. Talked to the advice nurse, went to kaiser, saw a nurse, had an x-ray (my first, ever! besides my teeth), and finally saw the doctor who pronounced my toe sprained. I can still walk on it, and it should be fine in a week. We can add this to the list of self-inflicted injuries.
I am very tempted to buy some ugly orange shoes. I tried a pair of these on yesterday, and oh my, are they comfy. My feeling is thus, if you're going to buy ugly shoes, they might as well be really ugly. But they may be so ugly, I might not wear them out of the house.
hi whitney, i think those shoes are supercool!! ('cos i kinda have one that look like it so i have to say that).
oh my! nooooooo! those are the worst shoes ever. bleghghgh!
Hurrah! for dashboard bling! and Hurrah! for comments!
Hurrah, I say!
I just saw a cheap pair of your ugly orange shoes at Payless last night in NYC... maybe you can find them on your coast. All the good ugliness, with none of the guilt!
P.S. Those are truly ugly shoes.. dare I say they're as ugly as Mario Batali's shoes?? :O
Hi Whitney! This just goes to show how rarely I read your blog. I just noticed you allowed comments now! Yay! So I'm leaving this comment to say.. YAY COMMENTS!! ;) >snog
A hula girl and ugly orange shoes. What more could you ask for?!
I was thinking that I wanted to get one for my car just two days ago! It's probably because of the Dashboard OS X thingie, or harmonic convergence.
I'm gonna mount mine to my flower vase
I had a hula girl *and* a hula guy a few years ago in my first car (also with a huge dashboard). I named them Ian and Delores. I don't have a car anymore, but they were lots of fun.
The croc shoes are definitely so ugly they're cool. Go for them!

The mac dashboard hula girl is actually what inspired me to get an hula girl for my car. I probably won't upgrade to Tiger, otherwise I would be all over the dashboard hula girl. Since the beetle has a hugenormous dashboard, I figured a hula girl for the car was the next best thing.
How about a Hula Girl Dashboard widget for your computer?

Enjoy!
dashboard hula rocks! only my shagmobile sports a hula *guy* also purchased at archie mcphee...
a hula girl sounds cool. I need something (or ANYTHING) for my car... it's brown, ugly, and plain. Boo.
I've been tempted by Crocs, but haven't given in yet. Are they just ugly, or are they so ugly they're kinda cool? Not sure...
