10/1 - “Sure, I’ll take my boots off…and smack you in the face with them”
By The Stabbing Pen | October 1, 2008
Somehow I was recently able to walk into The Belmont (a fairly classy bar/restaurant) wearing shorts, flip-flops, and a white t-shirt. Yet, the other day we try to walk into The Happy Ending (a nothing post-collegy bar), and my friend received all sorts of grief for wearing “boots.”
YES, I know I am in LA, and boots aren’t exactly popular footwear, but my friend just moved here from the east coast. After the door-mofo checked with his manager, they allowed us all inside, but the hold-up was ridiculous.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH BOOTS? Is it because boots aren’t “fancy” enough for some shithole bar? Are boots just so out of style in this town that they aren’t allowed? Does wearing boots carry some sort of connotation to gangs? I don’t know.
I don’t get how sneakers, which are sloppier than boots, are cool.
