Let's have a Hurricane Party!

In the South, they have a party whenever a hurricane is forecast, don't they? Well, why don't we have a hurricane party in Vintage Ads? Plenty of hurricane-themed ads out there—also London Fogs, Wellies, and my personal favorite go-to rainboot, Snead's Ferry Sneakers:



[Hey, mod? Can we get a "weather" tag here? Or maybe a "storm" tag?]

Ferry sneakers. Well, now that seems to be a very specific niche of footwear. I have such a poor sense of fashion that I would probably completely embarrass myself by wearing them aboard a barge or a tug. All the stevedores and longshoremen would just stand there laughing at me. (Bitches.)

Speaking of footwear, I do know better than to ride a bike in those kind of sandals. I'd get my shoe caught in the pedal for sure. Then the people in the plane would laugh at me. (Bitches.)

Actually, the thing about Snead's Ferry Sneakers is that people wear them everywhere. That's why they're also called "Wanchese Wedding Boots:"

Nice! Then I shall never fear the shame of boot-boat incompatibility. The bride is wearing them too, I hope! :)

I ride my bicycle in sandals all the time in the summer. Mostly Chacos. :^)

I'm surprised we don't have a weather tag, seeing as one of the past contests was "inclement weather" (the winner of which had that fantastic anti-gravity art deco table).
