I have to hand it to Nina Garcia. The lady knows what's up when it comes to elegance and just plain common sense.

The Project Runway judge, Elle editor-at-large and the next fashion director at Marie Claire (How does she have time to be a mom?) recently said that Crocs should have never been invented.

Halleluah, sistah!

Crocs are the ugliest, most unflattering shoes on the planet. Sometimes I just want to stop women in the street and tell them: "Do you want guys to think you're into ladies? Because that's what those awful shoes are telling them."

Unlike Nina, I also think it is a crime to place the perforated and blindingly bright shoes on unwitting children. Case in point: Do you think Madonna would ever be caught dead in a pair of those rubber monsters that look like they've been through a Florida voting machine? I think not. But she lets Rocco wear 'em all the time.

It's borderline child abuse, IMHO.

By the way, we spotted Garcia pushing her new book The One Hundred at Saks 5th Avenue in New York on Wednesday.
