And those self-appointed fashion Nazis who claim wearing rubbers makes you a wanker are just wrong. For two hundred smackers you too can be stylish and protect your footwear without carrying around a gym bag full of extra shoes. And they are also simply wrong to claim that teetering on one foot making the change over is the only way even if it may be true that there is no way to teeter gracefully. Now there is fashion conscious overshoes. Hurray!
SWIMS the 'nouveau galosher' - as elegant as Al Capone. They even polish your shoes as you wear them. And such luscious colors - pearl, bubble gum, combat green, purple, violet, burgundy, lemon. No need to feel like your wearing combat boots.
Milton Marx (1893-1977) known as Gummo is the unknown Marx brother - even less know that was Zeppo. Groucho, Chico and Harpo got their monikers playing poker in Galesburg Illinois. Gummo although the first of the boys to appear on stage dropped out of the act while serving in the military during the First World War. He was named Gummo supposedly either because of his legendary ability to sneak up on others backstage or because he was so sickly as a boy and frequently had to wear overshoes during inclement weather.
Hold that trophy high over your head
Show those teeth - hopefully they're white
Yes, yes - it's a win - bend the arm
At the elbow, with clenched fist pointed
Skyward - pump - like your blowing
This train 's whistle - it's called
Tooting your own horn, but it's
Not an original visual metaphor
Not with you anyway regardless
Of how spontaneous it felt
But I / know what he will say: / he's the fire hydrant of the underdog - James Tate
